Rooted in the vibrant sounds of West Africa, o.rayan's musical journey began in the Ivory Coast where he was born and raised. His eclectic taste, shaped by 90's house, dub, disco, r&b, and hip hop, infuses his selections with a unique perspective, pushing him to seek records unbound by genre or era. As a dedicated vinyl enthusiast, o.rayan has cultivated a global network of record-pooling communities, unearthing and digitizing rare gems that rarely surface elsewhere.

In this Truancy Sessions mix, o.rayan captivates with a kaleidoscope of intoxicating sonic rarities, offering a glimpse into his world of carefully curated, heartfelt sounds. Journeying through hidden corners of electronic music, the mix spotlights a series of bright and evocative selections from some of house music's unsung visionaries. Beginning with a nod to his Lebanese heritage, the mix flows ever-deeper into enveloping tracks marked by punching drums, lush pads, and drifting melodies, while the diversity of o.rayan's musical exploration shines through in multilingual vocals that bridge cultures through rhythm. His passion for vinyl is evident in the mix's impeccable quality and singular curation, each track revealing his exquisite taste for surreal, body-moving rhythms. Shaped by transformative experiences and fueled by his belief that “music and love are my fuel,” o.rayan's mix stands as a testament to music's enduring power to heal and inspire.

AfricaNow! October 9, 2024 AFRICOM—Militarism, Imperialism & Neocolonialism

Topic and Guests: October 1, 2007, marks an important date in the increased U.S. militarization of Africa.  That is the day the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) began and was started fully operating the following year on October 1, 2008. Those featured on the show today unpack Western governments’ neocolonial policies throughout the continent; foreign intervention in Haiti under the guise of Pan-Africanism; and the continued U.S. militarization of Africa through AFRICOM (the U.S. Africa Command).

The show begins with a recent conversation with Kossi Paul of the All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (AAPRP) and active member of the Panafrican Brigade for Palestine and is on the Steering Committee of the U.S. Out of Africa Network of Black Alliance for Peace.  

The show then spotlights a portion of Black Alliance for Peace's (BAP) recent webinar launching of the 2024 International Month of Action Against AFRICOM, entitled Resisting Fascism and Neocolonialism: U.S. Out of Africa, #ShutDownAFRICOM.  The show features Booker Omole, National Vice Chairperson and National Organizing Secretary, Communist Party of Kenya; Inemesit Richardson, President, Thomas Sankara Center, Burkina Faso; and Leila A., Black Alliance for Peace from the launch.

To every one who leaves a "Like" on my music I say thank you; to me you are a Ministering Angel and I kiss your hands, your fingers; Soundcloud is an Oasis of Positivity; the world outside here howls with negativity and -- perhaps the worst manifestation of negativity -- indifference. Fellow musicians: I'm so impressed with your creativity and imagination, and something I look for in all music - momentum (we know it when we hear it!); let's keep encouraging each other ... I've played guitar since I was ten; took some time off to study literature (Spanish) and travel and work (Europe, Latin America, Japan). I started studying classical guitar in Seattle with Steven Novacek and continued with other teachers and on my own for about ten years. I love just about all music, especially Brazilian, especially guitar, but music of all instruments and from all ages. I've written two novels. Presently I help run Emma's BBQ in Seattle with my wife Tess Thomas; she is a great singer and we like to go out and jam with other Seattle musicians. I love SoundCloud ... so much talent all over!
