Epifanía

Àkììtì Òkun

Acts 16:16-18 tells the story of a slave girl who is said to have a ‘Pythian spirit’ which enables her to tell oracles, and we are told that the apostle Paul cast out the spirit from her.

Drawing on her Yorùbá heritage and her personal autobiographical experience of having a great-grandmother who was a powerful Oracle in Nigeria, Olabisi Obamakin will look at that this story in a new light and will ask whether we should see the Pythian slave girl as possessed or powerful.
Drawing also on 'Butterfly Fish', a novel by Irenosen Okojie that explores Nigerian worldviews and beliefs, Olabisi will show how the New Testament can be read in a new and powerful way through the lens of a Nigerian/British woman.

Dr Olabisi Obamakin is a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Theological Education at Durham University. As a Nigerian/British woman, she has a special interest in widening participation into Theology and has spoken about her work to multiple academic and public audiences including at Exeter Cathedral and on BBC Radio Devon.

Oh Africa : A Pan-African Anthem of Happiness

A hybrid interview and listening session with Satch Hoyt on the release of Un-Muting, distributed by Honest Jon's. 

Born in London of British and Jamaican ancestry, Satch is a visual artist and musician in the body and mind of a spiritualist: a believer in both ritual and retention. Working in sculpture, installation, painting, sound, and performance, Hoyt directs these mediums towards the same end: the search for what he calls the “Eternal Afro-Sonic Signifer,” a “mnemonic network of sounds” that enslaved Africans carried with them during the forced migration of the Middle Passage. 

In 2019, Hoyt staged Afro-Sonic Mapping at Berlin's House of World Cultures  (HKW),  a multifaceted project of sonic restitution grounded in his recovery of some of the earliest wax cylinder recordings from Angola and the Congo housed in the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv. Since then, Hoyt has turned his attention to African and Afro-Diasporic musical instruments in western museum collections. Like wax cylinders, dormant instruments can be resonified or "un-muted" to make their longed-for return to the present-future. For Hoyt, these instruments are ancestors whose original role was to communicate with Orishas and other ancestral kin. 

Based on his un-mutings at the British Museum, Hoyt recently produced an immersive sound installation surrounded by a series of his paintings for the exhibition Your Ears Later Will Know to Listen at Nottingham Contemporary. Just last month, the original sound commission was released by traza as a beautiful 10” vinyl LP (link to vinyl and digitial download in the cart icon above).

I sat down with Satch over Zoom to discuss his origins, artistic practice, and his experience encountering instrument-ancestors in the British Museum's collections storage. In between you’ll hear both sides of his latest Un-muting release.

ILERA [Wellness]

A fun and uplifting Afrobeat dance track.

You Lift Me (O Gbé Mi Soke)

Crooked path, straight signal.

“Orí igi tó wọ́ làá wà tí a rí èyí tó tọ́” – It’s while on the crooked tree that one will discover the proper one.

Crooked Trees (Òrí Igi) is a desert-meets-diaspora transmission: Yoruba talking-drum codes, dusty hi-hats, and a bassline that bends but never breaks. Written in honor of the elders, the crooked teachers, and every side quest that led back to the right path.

Aṣẹ to everyone climbing the weird way up. 🌍💫

LB74 - Ife Me Tire

London-based DJ and songwriter. If you’d like to perform any of my songs, I’d love to hear from you.  Si quieres interpretar alguna de mis canciones, ponte en contacto conmigo. Here on Soundcloud you’ll find my unreleased and experimental material. My latest album “The Gift” is available on all other digital platforms with all proceeds going to Alzheimer’s Research UK.

I am Cristian Bay, a creator who stopped listening to the world’s music to compose his own.
My songs are born from silence after the scream — from the echo of pain that still vibrates through the body.

I use AI not as a tool, but as a mirror of the soul:
a voice that helps me transmute pain into dance, loss into rhythm, memory into ritual.

Each track is an act of alchemy.
My lyrics don’t seek comfort — they seek movement.
They are hypnotic mantras, invocations where the body remembers what the mind tries to forget.

I’m not a singer.
I’m a medium of sound, an emotional alchemist who turns rhythm into language and art into offering.
