@XivTroy Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" Lisa Stansfield's "All Around the World" and Soul II Soul's "Back To Life" have a deeper and more fascinating story behind their music

[Okong' Okuna @XivTroy]

You ever read a book or heard a song so ethereal—so lingering—you had to go hunting for the artist's story? It could not be just talent, the way they bled on those pages; could not be training alone, the waves in their voices. Who did you kill, writer man? What haunts you so bad?

The construction photos of the Zando Central Market tell a different story from the renders. You see the scale. You see the brick being laid. You see what it actually takes to build something this considered in Kinshasa.

Zando Central Market. Kinshasa, DRC. THINK TANK Architecture. 80,500 m². Reopened February 2026. Winner of the 2025 Holcim Foundation Award for Middle East and Africa.

The original market was built in the 1970s for 3,500 vendors. It had swelled to 20,000 with fewer than twenty toilets and no cold storage. THINK TANK did not import a solution. They reactivated three brick factories within 60 kilometers of the site to supply the terracotta. The perforated brick facades are patterned after Congolese wax textiles. Five open courtyards regulate temperature without mechanical cooling. Rainwater harvesting sustains sanitation and irrigation.

The dominant materials are concrete and locally sourced terracotta brick. The design kept everything else deliberately minimal.

Three brick factories reactivated within the region. Jobs created before the building even opened. 20,000 vendors now trading in a dignified, organized space with cold storage, reducing food spoilage and increasing daily earnings. Proper sanitation and waste management means the city can now collect tax revenue it was losing to the disorder of the old structure. Every franc spent on local materials stayed inside the Congolese economy.

A market rebuilt. An economy nudged forward. Both from the same decision to build with what was already there.

A cinema dedicated to African film

Studio NEiDA's cinema project in Ghana called The Falcon, is a purpose-built cinema and film community space planned for Berekuso, north of Accra. It is designed around four buildings enclosing a courtyard, drawing on Asante architecture…👇

Rammed earth is a sustainable, low-carbon building material that offers unique aesthetic layering and structural longevity through the high-density compaction of natural soil and pigments.

Ethiopia is landlocked.
It imports its oil mostly from the Gulf (Saudia & UAE), and the rest from India and Singapore.

Its oil lands in Djibouti and gets connected to a 550km Pipeline to Addis Ababa.

After all this, it lands petrol at the pump at KES 110-120 amid the current geopolitical crisis.

Kenya gets oil from the same Gulf, ships it directly to its own ports, and then a pipeline that the government mostly controls.

It then retails petrol at KES 206.

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!
