Sur les traces de Marie 
Sur les traces de Myriam

Dans les pas de Marie
Dans les pas de Myriam

Sur le chemin de Marie
Sur le chemin de Maryam

Une étoile est née dans la nuit
Une étoile s’est manifestée

Sur les traces de Maryam
Sur les traces de Marie
Dans les pas de Marie
Dans les pas de Maryam

De ses mains elle a creusé, la Terre, ouvert ses secrets
L’air l’a alimenté, ses cheveux l’ont protégé
Dans la grotte sacrée, son coeur l’a guidé
Son grand coeur l’a guidé

Dans les pas de Marie
Dans les pas de Maryam
Sur les traces de Marie
Sur les traces de Maryam


Dans les pas de Myriam

-1st of January 2025-
...It's a new day...
....on Planet Earth....
...Sweet light...
...Planets are turning...
...and my body whirling...
...it's a New Era...
...light on Earth...

Urubamba - El Corazon Del Inca (A Macaca Edit)

I met Winnie Lado in Kampala, she is from South Sudan and she's been living in Uganda for a few years now with her 2 daughters. Neighbor of @nyege-nyege-tapes headquarter, she gathers artists in her garden every sunday, to jam, talk and laugh. 
This is a recording of her poem "Stop Negative Labeling" she wrote after arriving in Kampala.  Her work addresses and focuses on humanity, from personal, to social to community and global level.

In My Passport, Do not Call me a Refugee!!
I want to be a tourist, I want to have a visa of a tourist, 
I want to be a doctor without boarders  travelling  around
I want to be a nomad, maybe a hippie
I want to be an expat, a teacher or an artist
I want to be all these in my passport
I want to be a dreamer or a sailor
I want to experience all life without classifications 
That limits me from my choices or dreams
I want to escape to a little village with water and greens
Maybe there I could be who I want to be
BUT
What I do not want Is an imposed definition
That mentally limits my strength and believe of me in me
I do not want to be called names that push my spirits abay
Do not call me a refugee
Not by choice I moved but non the less I am me
Do not call me an Immigrant
In this world people mingle and there is plenty of love to be shared
Do not call me displaced Mr. news Anchor in my town
What does it make of you, who do I call you
There is enough of transitions and transformation we all need to deal with in growth
Why distruct my focus adding more salt to the wound
Fighting my mind
Make my image weaken to me and generations
Make me hate my story and kind
Trying to be someone else all the time to measure
Hating the gift of me and dispicing all that reminds me of me
Because you told my story
Identified my name
No do not call me a refugee
Do not make my gender or skin colour your weapon 
To destroy me, my continuation
I want to be
I want to be he dream in my head
I want to be a bondless soul
I want to be anywhere and every where respected and respectful
I refuse to be a story of Pity
Let my personal hurts torment me enough
Let my growth be of my experiences
Stop putting the children in the camps
Stopping their dreams and their life while alive
I see group of black kids in a photo
I see people demanding for help
Weakening yet again the future
Frustrating their head of family to the disgruntled image you made him be
Frustrated enough to numb his awakedness to drunkenness
To take his children for a burden
And his wife for an enemy
As they dig graves and burry their lives
Because nothing seems worth
As they await what image you brainwashed them
Waiting for you to be the savior
Why halt a generation
Why halt a civilization
Why kill the dreams
And you wonder why there is trouble everywhere
What hits the northern hemisphere
Destroys the southern hemisphere
So why not hit with love and freedom
I want to be 
I want to be a tourist, I want to have a visa of a tourist, 
I want to be a doctor without boarders  travelling  around
I want to be a nomad, maybe a hippie
I want to be an expat, a teacher or an artist
I want to be all these in my passport
I want to be a dreamer or a sailor
I want to experience all life without classifications 
That limits me from my choices or dreams
I want to escape to a little village with water and greens
Maybe there I could be who I want to be
