Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho 
Intro in Yoruba by: Olawale

Ona mi o, mo n ba lo
Imole ran dun mi lokan

Translation:
"This is my path, I am moving forward
The light shines, it brings joy to my heart.”

From the moment I saw you there
With the sunlight in your hair
I knew my heart had found its way
To love you more with every day

Your laughter brightens up the night
Like fireflies in golden light
Every touch, every embrace
Feels like time just melts away

These beautiful things
The way you smile, the way you shine
Every moment, love still sings
I’m so blessed to call you mine

The way your hand fits into mine
Feels like fate, so true, divine
Through the years, through joy and pain
I’d choose you over and over again

These beautiful things
The way you smile, the way you shine
Every moment, love still sings
I’m so blessed to call you mine

No matter where the road may lead
With you, I have all I need
Through every sunrise, every star
You’re my home, my beating heart

So take my hand, don’t let go
Let’s dance beneath the moonlight’s glow
These beautiful things will never fade
With you, my love, my heart is made

I thank the heavens every night
That you became my beautiful wife
A love so pure, a dream so true
My world is brighter all because of you

I thank the heavens every night
That you became my beautiful wife
A love so pure, a dream so true
My world is brighter all because of you

These beautiful things
The way you smile, the way you shine
Every moment, love still sings
I’m so blessed to call you mine

These beautiful things
The way you smile, the way you shine
Every moment, love still sings
I’m so blessed to call you mine

These Beautiful Things (Olawale Version)

We follow the rise of civilization and of powerful empires in West Africa before the slave tade, based upon iron-working and the traffic in gold and salt across the Sahara, followed by the spread of wealth and power southward, towards the gold fields and the tropical forests, and finally the reverberating impacts of the arrival of Portuguese traders on the coast, which paved the way for the rise of the Atlantic slave trade.

AfricaNow! December 3, 2025 Guinea-Bissau: Coup or Staged Coup?

Topic and Guest: On November 26 people in Guinea-Bissau woke up to hear that there had been a coup in their country.  Many within the country and beyond have questioned whether it was actually a military coup.  But rather it was a plan by the incumbent President Umaro Sissoco Embaló and forces allied with him, to prevent the official release of the November 23 legislative and presidential elections.  The presidential election was between incumbent President Umaro Sissoco Embaló and opposition candidate Fernando Dias da Costa of the Social Renewal Party.  The military arrested Fernando Dias, and Domingos Simões Pereira, President of the African Party of Independence of Guinea Bissau (PAIGC), and President of the National People's Assembly (ANP).  The process before the vote featured undemocratic and experts say illegal disqualifications of the candidates of the African Party of Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC).
   
Joining AfricaNow! to dissect and contextualize the situation in Guinea-Bissau is Imani Na Umoja.   Imani Na Umoja, Member of the Political Bureau and National Secretariat of the African Party of Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde (PAIGC); Steering Committee Member of Black Alliance for Peace’s (BAP) U.S. Out of Africa Network; and is also on the Coordination Committee of the West African Peoples Organization (WAPO).

History lectures by Samuel Biagetti, a historian (and antique dealer) with a Phd in early American history; my dissertation was on Freemasonry in the 1700s. I focus on the historical myths and distortions, from "the Middle Ages" to "Race," that people use to rationalize the world in which we live.   More info at www.historiansplaining.com

A podcast coming from the planet of Brooklyn that examines critical thought and community, while searching for solutions to some of our most challenging issues.

I see music in the stars, I hear music when I sleep, its a never ending story... Paulo Sergio Carvalho, known to the music world as iPauloSergio, was born in the stunning city of Ponta Delgada in the Azores, Portugal. His early years were enriched by the lush landscapes and vibrant culture of the islands. At the tender age of 13, Paulo discovered his passion for music, immersing himself in the sounds of the piano, keyboards, and guitar. This early exposure laid the foundation for his lifelong love of music and set him on a path to become a multifaceted musician.

Paulo’s music is a rich tapestry woven from a wide array of influences. He admires legends such as Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and Bob Dylan for their storytelling prowess, while also drawing inspiration from the melodic genius of Billy Joel and the powerful anthems of Journey and Van Halen. Furthermore, the innovative sounds of electronic pop icons like Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode can be felt in his work. This fusion of genres reflects Paulo's ability to connect with a diverse audience and create music that resonates on multiple levels.

In addition to his solo pursuits, Paulo has collaborated with fellow musician iGracie to write songs for various bands, including the country outfit Devils and Debutantes and the indie rock group Love Bomb Poets Society. These partnerships have allowed him to explore different musical styles and expand his songwriting repertoire, blending heartfelt lyrics with catchy melodies that appeal to listeners across genres.
