Beautiful Nubia

[APWW #716] We profile three African musicians who have created significant careers in the face of daunting challenges in their countries. Paulo Flores, champion of semba and kizomba in Angola, came of age in the midst of that country's long post-independence civil war. He's probably done more for Angola's spiritual health during these difficult decades than anyone alive. Emmanuel Jal faced still worse as a child soldier who escaped Sudan under horrific circumstances to become an internationally acclaimed singer and rapper. Today, he must watch as his homeland--now called South Sudan--descends into another brutal, senseless war. The masked man of Nigerian pop, Lágbájá, has created diverse, socially conscious music through a series of military regimes in his homeland, and has new advice for his countrymen in a fragile democracy. We'll meet all three artists and hear an awesome variety of music. Produced by Banning Eyre.

Three Survivors: Paulo Flores, Emmanuel Jal, Lágbájá

This song celebrates the selfless sacrifice of Yoruba matriarch and heroine, Moremi, who gave her only child, Oluorogbo, as a sacrifice to save her people. Today, Oluorogbo is a prominent deity.

“Mother calls and I hearken
She bemoans her loss,
“He that I gave that the Earth may know peace
My only one whom I gave up for you
My beloved son, Oluorogbo, ascends into immortality”
Descend, mother, descend
Descend, Moremi, descend
She mourns, she wails, she calls
Olurogbo lives forever…”
