Trio Ternura, "A Gira," 1973.

A São Paulo family trio at the heart of Brasil’s soul and MPB scene, singing a Candomblé prayer on national television in the middle of a military dictatorship. The 7-inch became one of the most hunted Brasilian singles of all time.

sometimes i think about the absolute hell in which whales must live, enduring endless, inescapable machine noise from boats that also wrecks their ability to communicate with one another

No offense but one day yall are gonna need to just wake up and read African authors, support their cartoons and seek it out it’s pretty evident that the rare times the West picks it up it’s done haphazardly so why not just do some digging

wow music is so powerful. this was literally church for her. 😭

y’all should check out Three Little Birds on britbox, about the lives of three Jamaican women arriving to England during the Windrush Era. Well acted, well directed, moving! I’m incredibly sad it isn’t getting a second season. I was hooked! I’m ready to get a petition going tbh!!

@SVG__Collection Those who love the legend & maestro Curtis Mayfield should get into his earlier music and (songwriting) when he was part of the Impressions. His early work is full of great tracks & odes to love that he composed so beautifully.🖤🕊️

A Chinese-owned copper mine spilled so much waste into a river in Zambia that it effectively killed it and then tried to cover it up 🙃 also a major reason Somali pirates exist is because China overfished their coastlines leaving fishermen with no way to support themselves

We get it: The whole Caribbean got oil now discoveries to make now because the US attacked Iran and mess up the oil market and now want a well to control close to home 🫩

[Tamanisha J John @TamanishaJohn]

See: they’re talking about US corporations increasing Caribbean oil output globally — neglecting Caribbean ecology and geography. They don’t even help these states enough during Hurricane and other natural disasters, but want the region to be an oil frontier

@laymagdalene is this not just desecrating the grave?? wtf is wrong with these people???

[Lua @ukhwini]

@SpursCulture 💯 This obvious coaching blunder makes me wonder if this wasn’t just a scripted loss to drive engagement. Cause now the streets are saying “Wemby got his chain snatched” & the narrative is that the Knicks are the favorites. The same Knicks that got knocked out by Indy last yr🙃

[Tamanisha J John @TamanishaJohn]

The piece is timely too, given that today Trinidad and Tobago secured the UN Security Council seat, at the height of its alignment with US imperialism:

@kimikoko73 @jasminejadaa_ @Kemani_0718 Taught me something! Didn’t realize they were the main inspiration for Townsend thought it was the Temptations. Gotta rewatch now

Johnny Alf performing "Eu e a Brisa" live, 1969.

The pioneer and architect behind Bossa Nova. Jobim and João Gilberto spent the 1950s studying him in Copacabana clubs. Revered by those who knew, overlooked by those who didn't.
