Jain - Makeba 2015

Jeanne Louise Galice, better known by her stage name Jain, is a French singer-songwriter and musician, with malagasy origins by her grand-father. She began her career in 2013 and published her demo tracks on MySpace, where she was noticed by Dready, who remained her longtime manager. Her debut album, Zanaka, was released on 6 November 2015. "Makeba" was written by Jain and produced by her longtime collaborator Maxim Nucci. The refrain of the song used a sample from the 1978 song "Me and the Gang" by the American percussionist, songwriter, arranger, and record producer Hamilton Bohannon. "Makeba" peaked at number seven on the French Singles Chart. It references Miriam Makeba, also known as "Mama Africa", a South African singer and anti-apartheid civil rights activist.

The Australian reality television show I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! uses the song as an intro. Since 2019, it is also used as the intro theme to Amazon Prime Video's coverage of the Premier League in the UK and Ligue 1 in France. In June 2023, "Makeba" received a resurgence in popularity due to the virality it achieved on TikTok. The song has been used in ads for Marshalls and Levi's. The music video for "Makeba" was shot in South Africa, and shows various parts of Johannesburg: Miriam Makeba Street, Ponte Tower, Berea Park, Marble Towers, and Orlando Power Station. It earned a nomination for Best Music Video at the 60th Grammy Awards, losing to "Humble" by Kendrick Lamar.

"Makeba" received a total of 66,5% yes votes!

Diwali-inspired intersex flags

It was Diwali, and I was once again inspired by a holiday to make some relevant intersex flags 🪔

First, some Diwali-specific imagery:

The rangoli pattern on the left is by Desti Silvana Ekasari of the Noun Project and comes with a CC BY 3.0 license. The diya lamp icon on the right comes from the Fluent Emoji pack.

I also made intersex flags for intersex members of the religions associated with the holiday: Jains, Hindus, Vajrayana Buddhists, and Sikhs (FYI: "Sikh" is pronounced like "sick" not "seek" 💜).

Icon sources: Jain Ahimsa, Hindu Aum, Vishvavajira, Sikh Khanda

Personal note: I'm not myself a member of any religion, but I do celebrate Diwali because my partner's family is Hindu. 💜

महावीर जयंती के दिन लोग जैन मंदिरों में जाकर पूजा करते हैं, शोभायात्रा निकालते हैं और भगवान महावीर की मूर्तियों का अभिषेक करते हैं। इस दिन दान-पुण्य का भी विशेष महत्व होता है। लोग जरूरतमंदों की मदद करते हैं, खाना खिलाते हैं और सेवा के काम करते हैं। इस दिन कई जगहों पर भंडारा भी किया जाता है। यह त्योहार सिर्फ धार्मिक नहीं है, बल्कि हमें जीवन जीने का सही तरीका भी सिखाता है।
