Favoriting Explorers Room with Flash Strap: Playlist from July 22, 2021 Favoriting

Flash Strap's avatar View Flash Strap's profile Favoriting

This is where all of culture and all of time are collapsed into one seductive portal and viewed through the panoramic lens of the exotic. Come and embark on an armchair-travel virtual-voyage to the heart of timeless darkness and beyond; embrace the numinous monolith of the exotic immensity. Let us find that place where hybridization meets its destiny as pure fantasy. Let us become observers observing those others who are ourselves. You wear your mask and I'll wear mine.

Makeba lived in Guinea for a while, Flash?
Avatar 7:22pm
Flash Strap:

yeah, she was hounded by the FBI / CIA and then basically exiled from the US after marrying Stokely Carmichael, so they moved to Guinea (which is where / when he adopted the name Kwame Ture) and she did some stuff for the Syliphone label, President Sekou Toure's wonderful state label. she wasn't able to return to the US till '87 i think
