Bookman on the Airwaves [December 24, 2017]

The chump in the white house made recent remarks blanketing entire nations of Africans as "shithole countries" and has mostly been met with silence from leaders on the continent. Bookman agrees that official responses might be a waste of energy when Africa has more pressing issues to address. Environmental urgencies like persistent droughts have been a nuisance to goat and sheep herders in Somalia as well as for the entire capital city of Cape Town, South Africa which is about to lock off its municipal water supply indefinitely. Meanwhile, the Kenyan people are facing the prospect of a lower life expectancy due to poor air quality.

Bookman hones in on the current steps being taken by the Africa Union to open up intra-continental air travel with the impending launch of the Single African Air Travel Market (SAATM), plus some of the airlines that service the continent. Before that, he shares some basic information about the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) for the benefit of the uninitiated and glances at some of the programs and projects being tackled by the regional organization today, such as making the Caribbean the first climate-resilient region in the world as well as its efforts to take a new official stance on ganja.

Away To Africa (awaytoafrica.com) is a very cool destination management company that provides guided tour packages for those who wish to experience the cultural richness of the continent. Tiffanie Anderson, its founder, links up with Bookman on the Airwaves to share how her journey led her to establish this enterprise, and then she gives a synopsis of the daily activities one could expect on Away To Africa's Ghana tour. Also in studio is Primrose Gueye, a Florida middle school teacher who has lived in Senegal, as well as Sasha Bookman, who once dwelled in Ghana herself. Together, the 3 queens share their firsthand knowledge of the continent amidst banter about the newly released Black Panther film (no spoilers, promise), the historical N'nonmiton warriors of the Kingdom of Dahomey (present-day Benin) and the recent shooting at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where both Sasha and Tiffanie attended as teenagers.

Bookman on the Airwaves [February 18, 2018] w/ Tiffanie Anderson, Primrose Gueye and Sasha Bookman

Since the phenomenal, record-raising release of the 'Black Panther' film, many Rastafari have noticed similarities between Wakanda, the movie's fictional African nation that has never been colonized, and Ethiopia, the actually uncolonized nation that really exists on the continent. Negus Kamaal Atu is an etymologist, entrepreneur (visit: www.etsy.com/shop/MelakuAromatherapy) and devout Rastafari who calls into the Airwaves to share his perspective on the parallels.

Riddim Ride: Rights of People

A tribute to Vaughn Benjamin. Rest In Prophecy.

“Vaughn Benjamin must be recognized as the most important lyricist of esoteric knowledge in RasTafari Reggae tradition to date. He has left behind a timeless legacy of music after more than 25 years as lead singer for the band Midnite, plus another 4 years as Akae Beka.

"Around the time when Midnite disbanded and Vaughn assumed the name Akae Beka, I was learning about a European side of my ancestry. My research led me to discover that one of the persons in my lineage was a man by the name of James Bruce, known to have brought 3 copies of the Book of Enoch out of Ethiopia. Soon, I was contacted to write a bio for Vaughn's new website, for him to explain why he chose 'Akae Beka' as his new moniker. In our conversation, he told me that he got the words 'Akae' and 'Beka' directly from the Book of Enoch. They represent a sacred oath (and its principal part) that aligns in an uncanny way with Vaughn's persona.

"When I take a look at the life work of Vaughn Benjamin, first with Midnite, then as Akae Beka, it is clear that he swore his oath from the very start. His catalog of roughly 3 decades is unrelenting in spreading all the reasons why H.I.M. Haile Selassie I is worthy to be praised.

"Vaughn Benjamin passed away on my 37th birthday, November 4, 2019, triggering a deep self-reflection. Analyzing my own life work and incorporating the knowledge of my connection to the man whose travels to Ethiopia yielded the very text that became useful to Vaughn, I have an acute sense of duty to ensure this great messenger is not forgotten. The Sacred Oath of Vaughn Benjamin is my first act of this duty. More than just a mix, it is a musical story that unfolds for listeners who listen keenly. I sincerely hope that it will be heard far and wide from this day, Vaughn's first birthday since his passing, onward into eternity.” - Dutty Bookman [August 13, 2020]
