This week's show is part-3 of the month-long celebration of the Islamic element in African Diaspora music. As a Muslim, I am driven by a desire to expose people to another reality where Muslim musicians flourish and create. This is to counter the negative reality expressed by the Taliban and other Wahhabi-influenced people who condemn musical performance and enjoyment.

Sometimes the wrongheaded are given a platform to broadcast their wrongheadedness far and wide. Often times people will pay great attention to (as the Japanese say) 'the nail that sticks out'. Such is the case with those who espouse a doctrine of extremes.

Would the Taliban silence the singing birds? I was given a gift and I can make my instruments sing the praises of The Most High, the universal oneness and beauty of pure creation.

Others may serve something else but I know that my gift of music is a service and a healing to those in need. Art can be a wonderment and an inspiration to those in darkness. A gift must always be shared. This week we feature a gifted man from Senegal who sings like a bird: Ismael Lo, one of the sweetest voices from a country with many sweet voices. Intro: Sofia / Ismael Lo / Jammu Africa Set one: 1.

This week's show theme is: '(Not So) Distant Relatives' As two of the larger islands of the West Indies, Puerto Rico & Jamaica have both been at the forefront of Caribbean people's migration to the urban centers of the United States. Large numbers of Caribbean people first fled the region during the depression of the late 1920s. The 'Harlem Renaissance' was a cultural and political phenomena largely fueled by this influx of free-thinking Caribbean immigrants. Among this mix of people were a new breed of Afro-centric intellectuals, people like Marcus Garvey, Arturo Schomburg, J.A.

Rodgers and Claude McKay. The first-generation of newly urbanized Caribbean immigrants also contributed greatly to the birth of another cultural phenomena in New York City; the birth of Hip Hop in the South Bronx. It is no coincidence that this area of the city featured a high concentration of first-generation Jamaican and Puerto Rican youth. There are many parallels in the development of these two islands, both yesterday and today. Just as Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico has been greatly influenced by an English-speaking culture, so to has English-speaking Jamaica evolved in the shadow of Spanish-speaking Cuba. If anyone listens to the strains of Mento music it is hard not to recognize the strong Spanish cultural ties in Jamaica.

Any careful listener will be able to note the strong similarities between the Cuban Cha-Cha and Reggae music. As two of the more economically developed islands of the Caribbean region, both Jamaica and Puerto Rico have had to deal with the ugly consequences of gangsterism and drug cartels. The urbanization of both cultures has proceeded at an alarming rate in the last half century. Still, when it comes to the musical aspects of culture both islands have had a strong presence beyond their size. Jamaica's biggest export, Reggae, has found a sharp resonance in the entire Caribbean basin and Puerto Rico has reflected upon Reggae's influence in a big way. Reggae music's popularity greatly surpasses that of any outside musical form on the island.

Just as Brasil incorporated Reggae into the Samba to create the ever-popular Samba-Reggae, so to has Puerto Rico created Reggaeton. Intro: En mi Puertorro / Andy Montanez & Cheka / Salsaton Set one: 1. Now That We Found Love / Third World 2.

Moroccan musicians Puerto Rican musicians This week we connect the dots: From Dar Magreb to the Caribbean by way of Andalusia. The area of North Africa that was dubbed 'Dar Magreb' (The West), by those of the Arabian peninsula, is a swath of present day Southern Portugal and Southern Spain that was once known as Andalusia.

For nearly a thousand years, Andalusia was a melting pot society that had a distinctly African-Berber culture. Both Spain and Portugal were transformed forever by the centuries of Islamic cultural imprint.

Today, there are over 10,000 Arabic words in Spanish & Portuguese. The Arabic-speaking Africans brought string instruments, castanets and drums that would forever change the music of these two African border states. Yet, the people in the northern regions of Spain and Portugal would one day unite and overthrow the Africans in the south. By the year 1492, fortunes had changed dramatically for the Muslims and Jews of Andalusia. That year the Spanish decreed the famed 'Spanish Inquisition' that sought to purge Spain of all outside influences from Africa and the Orient.

Not coincidentally, 1492 was also the year that a crafty mercenary named Cristobal Colon would buy maps from West African sailors that he would use to 'discover the New World'. Ironically for the Muslims and Jews who needed to flee from Spain's new Draconian policies, that New World would provide a safe haven for them. Sadly, for the West Africans, those maps would prove to be the beginning of a trade in human beings that would forever change the Old World and the New World. The first enslaved Africans that were transported in large numbers would be those very same Muslims from Senegal, Guinea and Yoruba Land. If we fast forward to present times, we see that of the Three Sister Islands of Spain's Colonial Empire (Cuba, Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico), Puerto Rico has the most African-Berber cultural traces. One cultural marker can be seen in the (3) pandereta drums.

These simple frame drums are not musically prominent anywhere else in the Caribbean. These drums (as seen above) provide a direct link from Puerto Rico to North Western Africa. The Plena rhythm that is played by these drums is the exact same (4)-beat pattern that is played through the Arabic-speaking world. Today, there are at least sixteen Muslim mosques on the island as a process of reversion to Islam gradually moves across the former Spanish colonies. There is also a growing Palestinian immigrant population that feels right at home on the island.

Carnival in Santiago de Cuba Yoruba As I prepare for my show, sometimes I wonder how much I can explain without separating myself from some members of my audience. After all, the purpose of the show is to celebrate the oneness of the African Diaspora not fragment it. So, I never want to make too many distinctions as far as what I know because I’m a Caribbean member of this Diaspora. What I wrestle with sometimes is the actuality that not everything that I know is common knowledge. For instance, planning this show on Fela means connecting the dots from present day Nigeria to the legacy of the Yoruba religion and culture. That sounds simple enough in theory but the idea of the Yoruba legacy outside of Africa is so vast and complicated that I realize there is a huge void of understanding between those of us who grew up with these core African themes and those who do not. Mainland America, with maybe the exception of certain Deep South communities, was successfully purged of the unadulterated African concepts. Obviously, the Africans were not totally de-Africanized but the missing elements that survive outside of North America are pure enough to separate the cultural outcomes of South American and the Caribbean members of The Diaspora.

Just 90 miles separates Cuba from the United States of America but as far as African cultural elements, there is an ocean of separation. The faces in Mississippi, Alabama and Florida are just like the faces in La Habana, Santiago and Matanzas but there is no rumba in Alabama. So, when I think about Chango, Obatalla, rumba and guaguanco I must explain to my audience from North America that African ideas were not a daydream in the Caribbean. The shackles that bound our bodies were the same but the shackles that restricted our souls were not. If I find myself talking a lot about traditional African religion on this show, it’s because it totally shaped our worldview. The drum and the music that it symbolized are not an African influence, as I’ve heard so many educators say, they are Africa! Who influenced whom?

We, after all, represent the first world culture. There is no coincidence that the former Portuguese and Spanish colonies stand out as the bastions of African Cultural preservation.

Their proximity to Africa meant they were already unable to resist the influence of Africa. The English, Dutch, Danes, Germans and French were much more resistant to the African’s influence. Maybe, it was merely the affectations of a lack of geographic proximity. Sometimes there seems to be resentment in some of us, when North and South American Afro-descendents get together.

Yet, that which was preserved must be shared by whoever was entrusted with guarding it. Intro: Ake Bo Je /Bukky Leo & Black Egypt (feat.

This week's show focuses on the special musical and cultural contributions of Earth, Wind and Fire.

This is actually the second part to last week's show celebrating 'Africa in America', or the Africanization of Black music in the United States. To some readers, referring to the Africanization of Black American music may seem like an odd reference. Yet, from my African-Caribbean mindset and viewpoint, the lack of real African drums and traditional rhythms created an unusual musical identity in the United States. The beat of the drums underwent a transmutation and was hidden in a new syncopated version of European styled music.

Painting: Varnette P. I can recall when I was younger, hearing Afro-Americans reluctant to connect any part of themselves or culture to an African identity. Kids would declare: 'I aint no African!' To them, Africa was a primitive, foreign identity. That attitude has not really disappeared from the American mindset, it has just morphed into a new one that identifies African culture as that of US immigrants. So, now African culture is something new that comes from Nigeria, Ghana or Senegal. For those of us from the tropical zone, our Africanisms are much more difficult to deny.

Though the same affliction of shame abounds in the minds of the African Diaspora where ever they reside. Still, whether confusion of 'what to call ourselves' exist or not, everyone knows that Calypso, Reggae, Merengue, Samba and Guaguanco are all African musical expressions and forms. Earth, Wind and Fire connected the dots between Africa,Brasil, the Caribbean and America. Intro: Evil / Earth, Wind & Fire / Head to the Sky Set one: 1.

Let me Talk / Earth, Wind & Fire / All n' All. This week's show is a reminder that the journey of African-Americans in the United States towards acceptance of their African identity has been a long and winding road. There have been waves of Afrocentricity that have ebbed and flowed through the courses of US history.

This desire to learn more about a forgotten legacy often at odds with a desire to 'move on' and become an accepted member of a uniquely American identity. For many in the United States there was a legacy of shame and denial made easier by the absence of a strong, easily identifiable African culture. Surely, the Africanisms are present in the expressions of a US culture but the dots were never really connected to Africa.

Instead, these cultural affectations were heralded as being the fabric of a uniquely American expression. Jazz, blues, gospel, rhythm and blues all being viewed through the prism of a post-slavery expression.

Though there may have been some resignation that Africa was too distant a memory to uphold for the formerly enslaved, the slave masters certainly promoted this concept to their benefit. Unlike the Caribbean and parts of South America, the playing of the traditional African drums were banned in the United States. This might seem to some as a civil ordinance rather than the evisceration of an identity. To those who think the drums are merely musical instruments, it is not easy for them to understand that the drums occupied such a central force in the spiritual lives of Africa's people. The drum was an instrument for communicating with the divine. The drums and their usage also drew lines between African tribal and ethnic groups.

For instance; taking away the Ashanti drums from the Ashanti meant taking away a language that separated them from their neighboring states and ethnicities. For those who see Africa and Africans as a mass of Black People, this subtle nuance of history is lost. Of course, the Africans south of the Rio Grande River overcame this by merging some universal aspects of their differing cultures. As in Brasil and Cuba, were elements of Yoruba, Ashanti, Dahomey and Congo cultures forged a sometimes indistinct musical and liturgical mixture. It was certainly more advantageous to preserve a collective African identity than to quibble over the details of ethnic delineations. In the US, the African ceased to exist as an African, they were transformed into Blacks.

The monolithic concept of Africans as Blacks that still persist in America has also been promoted as a worldwide concept. Africans never referred to themselves in this way. Africa was never monochromatic, this false identity became a real detriment to the cultural understanding of the African Diaspora in the US. This false identity continues to be promoted in the image of Black History in the US. As a public school teacher I have participated in many Black History Month Celebrations and the content is always focused on a post-slavery reality.

As a Caribbean-African I have no desire to down play the fact that my Caribbean culinary diet, musical expression, cultural nuance and syntax are heavily African in identity. While this pride has often been resented by those of the African Diaspora of the United States, it must be expressed unabashedly.

There is a need to celebrate any surviving African identities rather than merely celebrating surviving slavery. There are African cultural identities to be found in the US, if you look hard enough. The culture and people of the Mississippi Delta have been looked down upon by many in urban America. Yet, much like the Caribbean and Brasil, this region of the US represents a fertile crescent of African culture that should be revered.

In looking back to Africa we must not forget where to look for Africa in America. Intro: The Drum / Sounds of Blackness / Africa to America Set one: 1.

Being an island boy means loving the beach, it's one of my favorite places on earth! Notes: I've always been in love with sound design (creating life-like soundscapes) and virtual reality imaging with sound. On all of my CDs I've used live remote recordings that I've done outdoors to help add dimension to a musical story.

I've always been in love with the little details and nuance you can appreciate while listening to headphones with the lights off. Stevie Wonder would always said that to really appreciate his landmark '70's recordings you should hear them the way he does.with headphones in the dark. I've grown up with that idea as a guiding principle when I record. If I can lay back with some headphones in the dark and be lifted into a fantasy, then I've done my job as a composer. On all of my seven CDs I've experimented with ambient sound, whether recording the street vendors in Brasil on Beijos Azuis or making multiple stereo recordings of a rain storm for the debut Rain People. I'm probably most proud of my 'slave ship' re-creation for the song 'I will Cry for You' on Thunder in the Jungle, which included creating a virtual sail boat with items found around the house. I hope you enjoy this show as much I did creating it.

Today's show illustrates the unbridled energy of African music that exists in the Spanish-speaking Americas.

Though largely invisible in media portrayals of what Latinos look like, the African presence in Latin America and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean cannot be ignored. The connections between Africans of Latin America are more profound than those of the dominant Euro-centric Hispanics. Music, culture, dialect and syntax, dance and food easily cross the borders that separate New World Africans. Though separated by more than 54,000 merchant slave ship voyages, the Africans cultural expressions were inseparable. Listen to an Afro-Venezuelan musician call upon Chango in the same way that a Cuban or Boricua does. Listen to the sameness in the spiritual language of Afro-Peruvians and Afro-Colombians.

Forget the hyphen, we are New World Africans of the African Diaspora. Children of the holocaust. Intro: Columbia pa' Miguel Angel / Venissa Santi / Bienvenida Set one: 1. Latin Goes Ska / Skatellites 2.
