The confederations and clans collectively known as the Tuareg descend from the oldest inhabitants of North Africa. They lead a mostly nomadic existence across the Sahara Desert, in the lands we now know as Algeria, Libya, Niger and Mali. Tuareg communities have long felt neglected by independent African governments, especially in Mali, which has endured a succession of rebellions. In 2012, a Tuareg uprising led to a year-long crisis in which the Malian north separated from the country and fell under harsh control by Islamic extremists. Ironically, these extremists banned music, which in the hands of modern bands like Tinariwen had been a crucial means for expressing Tuareg aspirations. This broadcast unravels this complex history and provides a vivid portrait of the Tuareg predicament in Mali today. The program samples a rich variety of Tuareg music and includes conversations with Tuareg musicians and cultural authorities in the wake of Mali’s crisis, as well as with University of Houston anthropologist Susan Rasmussen, who has been researching and writing about Tuareg culture for over 30 years, and veteran journalist and author Andy Morgan.

Hip Deep in Mali: The Tuareg Predicament

Episode 163: Madagascar vol 1

Playing at OM Culture in Seattle last week was pure magic. 

The ecstatic dance community there is truly one of my favorites in the US—so much energy and connection on the dancefloor. The hosting was impecable, and the vibes flowed effortlessly.

I got so many amazing comments afterward that people were asking for the set! It’s always a blast to play for such a welcoming and vibrant crowd!

*Thank you to you wonderful people who made this track with me. You are so talented and full of heart. You have my love and respect.*

Hello loved one that are here looking and listening, 

I want to wish you a happy Winter Solstice! 

It is a special day by many counts. The days will now begin to lengthen their time in light once again. Even more rare, Jupiter and Saturn, the largest planets that circle around our sun are very close to each other, the closest they have been in many hundreds of years. 

This day of celestial conjunction inspires me to open up, reach out, and dare to give and to share. As I remember all our special times together I feel the urge again to connect with you. It was a year ago, on Winter Solstice, when we gathered to celebrate our gifts and the release of my EP, ‘SCHIFT’ at Love City Love, in Seattle. 

Thank you all so much for your care and love and for showing up in response to the invitation to join in on my life’s dream journey.  

I have been asking myself:
How can I contribute to this great energetic alignment and celebrate ''New Beginnings'' in these challenging times? How can I make space to connect with both you and the cosmos?

It is within my power to share a spontaneous gift of song with you. Within that song there is a question for you: 
Is this the time for New Beginnings? 

If you feel the time and space is right for you, it would bring me the greatest joy to connect thru your listening and feeling. I would love to hear your reflections. 

I have not yet released this track publicly, but it is my wish for you to enjoy and share this private link as much as you feel like. 

New Beginnings, stands alone for now. Soon you will come to know it as track #7 on my upcoming debut album ‘Nomadic Nebula’, produced by the greatest, Erik Blood, which I will be release throughout 2021. 

Love and light, 
May your star shine bright, 
Hezza Fezza
