Hippos are definitely extraordinary animals. They live in perfect symbiosis with the other inhabitants of their biocoenosis and contribute significantly to the stability of the whole ecosystem. Hippos move both on land and on water. During the day, the colossi enjoy the African sun inside a river. At night they go to graze a pasture land. Normally hippos live together in smaller groups. There are also some loners of their species, which are usually bind territorially. The attentive reader may have determined some similarities to the average raver, could that still be coincidence? This release is the first official EP from Savu. It contains two fancy and highly creative tracks, which are both danceable and useful for relaxing too. Depending on the situation, these piece of music can be enjoyed with a cocktail by pool or slightly sweaty in a club surrounded by your own Hippo crew. Thank you.

El Mariachi (Dirty Doering Remix) - Sascha Sonido

A small spirit is lured by the vibrant sounds of an archaic ritual, that takes place where once a great deluge cleared the lands. Drudging over and under layers of ancient roots and sunken treetops, it makes its way through the thick undergrowth. It's primordial senses pick up intoxicating gases that seep upward while nearby bare feet get sucked rhythmically into the soft wet grounds of a great Quagmire. The sound of thickly skinned drums being beaten by hands that lived multiple lifetimes resonates through the backwoods. All amplified by plants once deemed poisonous by the intruders that left this place long ago, now revered by humans and animals alike, to connect with a deeper sense of their own cosmic identity.

Magie des paysages

Le Feu du ciel " - Les Orientales (1829) 
Poème écrit par "Victor Hugo"


L'Égypte ! - Elle étalait, toute blonde d'épis,
Ses champs, bariolés comme un riche tapis,
Plaines que des plaines prolongent ;
L'eau vaste et froide au nord, au sud le sable ardent
Se disputent l'Égypte ; elle rit cependant
Entre ces deux qui la rongent 

Trois monts* bâtis par l'homme au loin perçaient les cieux
D'un triple angle de marbre, et dérobaient aux yeux
Leurs bases de cendre inondées ;
Et, de leur faîte* aigu jusqu'aux sables dorés,
Allaient s'élargissant leurs monstrueux degrés,
Faits pour des pas de six coudées*.

Un sphinx de granit rose, un dieu de marbre vert,
Les gardaient, sans qu'il fût vent de flamme au désert
Qui leur fît baisser la paupière.
Des vaisseaux au flanc large entraient dans un grand port.
Une ville géante*, assise sur le bord,
Baignait dans l'eau ses pieds de pierre.

On entendait mugir le semoun* meurtrier,
Et sur les cailloux blancs les écailles crier
Sous le ventre des crocodiles.
Les obélisques gris s'élançaient d'un seul jet.
Comme une peau de tigre, au couchant s'allongeait
Le Nil jaune, tacheté d'îles.

L'astre-roi* se couchait. Calme, à l'abri du vent,
La mer réfléchissait ce globe d'or vivant,
Ce monde, âme et flambeau du nôtre ;
Et dans le ciel rougeâtre et dans les flots vermeils,
Comme deux rois amis, on voyait deux soleils
Venir au-devant l'un de l'autre.

Why Autonomous Africa?

----------------------

Many of the problems Africa faces are a result of outside interference by other countries, and as the 21st century progresses we will see the continued pillage of African resources to feed the global capitalist machine on an unprecedented scale. Corrupt and greedy regimes gladly sell their land and mineral wealth to finance their own extravagant lifestyles while the vast majority of ordinary people see little or no improvement in their own lives. An autonomous Africa run by the people for the people, where African land is predominantly used to feed African people and Africa's vast wealth of resources is used to benefit the people of Africa seems the only logical way forward. Autonomous Africa's goal is to highlight this message and here presents to you 4 tracks of African inspired grooves.

We fully realise a small run, independently released 12" is going to make very little difference to the world, but doing something has to be better than doing nothing. The idea of an autonomous Africa may be naive and unrealistic, but at some point the world we live in will have to change or future generations are going to be left with very little as we consume way more than our fair share. We have collectively buried our heads in the sand thinking we are powerless to engender change. Individually we have little power but collectively, the power is ours.

About The Mtandika Mission
--------------------------

Mtandika is a large village in the dry Ruaha river valley, 400km west of Dar es Salaam. It is a very poor village.

One of the prime movers in the village is Sister Barberina Mhagala. Since she retired from being Headmistress of the Primary School in 2005, Sister Barberina has been developing a Trade School at Mtandika to provide skills training for girls who are either orphans or have no fees for secondary education. She started by building a classroom and dormitory for the Trade School girls who were given sewing lessons and learning to make garments to sell.

Because many of the children do not have homes locally, accommodation is critical. So Sister then built extra accommodation blocks, not only for some of the girls attending the Trade School but also for some 80 girls attending the local Lukosi Secondary School where there was no accommodation.

The girls are taught to be as self sufficient as possible and as well and grow their own food and rear animals in the school grounds.

Water supply is critical, as water is not only required for every day purposes at the school but for irrigating the shambas [allotments]. Water is currently pumped from the nearby perennial Lukosi river some 500 metres away using a petrol pump. Investigations into a cheaper alternative are being investigated.

Education is essential if Tanzania is to fully develop its full potential and anything is possible given the opportunity. As well as supporting Sister Barberina in her capital expenditure, some 10 of the children at the Trade School and 30 at local Secondary Schools who cannot afford the fees are sponsored by funds raised by the charity.
