One of the last remaining ‘azmari bets’ (poetry/music houses) in the Ethiopian capital has been saved from demolition to make way for a skyscraper. But as Addis Ababa pushes to modernise, many worry that the traditional artform will be lost. https://t.co/bcd4IwULDh

Sérgio Mendes helped to spread Bossa Nova globally. His music delighted and awoke in so many, a passion for music.

He will be missed.

I'm mourning the death of Brazilian music star Sérgio Mendes (1941-2024).

This track from his famous Brasil 66 band still sounds fresh and vibrant, so many decades later.

Giving honor to the culture and memory of those murdered this why we helped in the commemoration of the Night of the Murdered Poets with @JewishLanguages , @DerNister2 , and the So Cal Arbeter Ring Educational Center.

Culture is worth remembering.

A dank (Thank you)!

🕯️ Remembering the Night of the Murdered Poets 🕯️
A 🧵:

On August 12, 1952, 13 Soviet Jewish poets, writers, and cultural leaders were executed in an act of repression by Stalin’s regime. This tragic event is now known as the "Night of the Murdered Poets"

As we remember these figures, let us also reflect on the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the power of literature to challenge injustice. The voices silenced in 1952 still speak to us today. #NeverAgain #CulturalHeritage
