OSHUN’s video for “Protect Your Self” meets the criteria for being an Afrofuturist work quite obviously. Niambi Sala and Thandiwe present themselves as a part of rapper Proda’s higher consciousness and they are encouraging him to revert to originality. They give him the choice to either help them transform unoriginal, media obsessed, rude people or to let parasites decompose his body. OSHUN, Prado, and a group of black youth purge the streets of New York dressed in all white. I think the all white symbolizes purity because they say in the song, “If you mess with me, you mess with God, I mean it and I quote.” And when they shoot the people in the street, their clothes change from darker colors to lighter colors, symbolizing a transformation. This video is Afrofuturist because the members of OSHUN present themselves as omniscient beings and a group of black people corrects society instead of white people correcting society.

Old-School Oromo music from the 80’s sounds sooo Arabesque. Like, the use of the Oud/Guitar and drums is very reminiscent of the middle east. Must be the influence we got from Egypt and Yemen? Perhaps.

In this particular song he singing about a girl he’s been yearning for. Typical love song :)

Ruth Negga Lands Female Lead In AMC Pilot ‘Preacher

“Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Ruth Negga has been cast as the female lead in Preacher, AMC’s drama pilot based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s cult 1990s comic. 

The project, from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, is about Jesse Custer, a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who merges with a creature that has escaped from heaven and develops the ability to make anyone do anything he says. Along with his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Negga) — Jesse’s former and only true love — and an Irish vampire named Cassidy, the three embark on a journey to literally find God. ”

“Without you, African mother, there would have been no us—African fathers, sons and daughters. Do we need to say any more African mothers, our own true goddesses! Let us praise you to the highest, telling the world about your righteousness. Let us tell the entire universe about your sacredness African woman.”

We had a false alarm a few days ago, but today Grand Master has transitioned on to his next life.

December 31, 1918- March 19, 2015 Peace onto you Grand Master Teacher

Dr. Yosef Alfredo Antonio Ben-Jochannan, also known as Dr. Ben, is an Ethiopian-Puerto Rican writer, historian and Egyptologist. Ben-Jochannan earned a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering at the University of Puerto Rico in 1938, and earned his master’s degree in architectural engineering from the University of Havana, Cuba in 1938. He received his doctoral degrees in cultural anthropology and Moorish history from the University of Havana and the University of Barcelona, Spain, respectively.

Dr. Ben-Jochannan is the author of 49 books, primarily on ancient Nile Valley civilizations and their impact on Western cultures. One of Dr. Ben’s most thought-provoking works, “African Origins of the Major ‘Western Religions’” (1970), highlights how the roots of Judaism, Christianity and Islam originated in Afrika. He also argues that the original Hebrews were from Ethiopia and were Afrikans, while the European Jews later adopted the Hebrew faith and its customs.
