Check out the new video! Premiere of the official music video for "Sudden Flight" ft. Jesse Royal and Sevana (prod. Winta James) off the Ancient Future album."This song gives a history of Jamaican politics - names and references are subtly incorporated.  I wanted people to understand the perils of this partisan politics."

There is so much that Alice Walker’s The Colour Purple gives a reader to reflect on. Celie’s difficult life which is uncovered throughout the novel exposes her rape and bearing of children from her stepfather at a young age. Married to a man “Mr.”

The story of two interweaving narratives told by Saleh Omar and Latif Mahmud who find themselves meeting thirty five years later in Gatwick England can enthral and take the reader into the world in which the characters exist. The once prosperous Omar who owned a furniture shop in Zanzibar now finds himself living the life of a refugee in Gatwick.

For many artist, Europe seems to be the utopia of reggae and to some extent it is, as it not only caters for all genres of music but diversely to a big audience and so with the tour coming to an end Etana and Mykal Rose certainly made Austria apart of their European tour all thanks to Bun Fire Squad.

The opening of the "Think Art" exhibition took place at the Welt Cafe Vienna, which drew art lovers from around the city who attended the event.  Brian Senorfe a Ghanaian born artist has honed his skills, perfecting his skill at thread art. For many this might not be a technique of art that is commonly seen, as it has its own disciplines of patience in each piece of work that is done. Having spent time with Brian at his studio, one had the opportunity to acknowledge how much patience and discipline goes into each of these time consuming pieces that are rendered into the art works and the way that we get to see them.

Just going down memory lane reminiscing on the last 2 months filled with activities the Akaryoshye - East African Party was just one of many events that stood out. Younger crowd, great music and diverse group of people.

Another year has come to an end. Many memorable moments have come to pass, both happy and sad, trials and tribulations, losses and achievements and triumphant endings. Christmas is an annual commemoration of Jesus Christ and widely celebrated holiday by many of us around the world.

Die Ausstellungen in der AAI-Galerie im café afro und in der AAI-Galerie im Weltcafé sind eingebettet in das Bildungsprogramm des Afro-Asiatischen Instituts in Wien.

The third year of Roots Music from Southern Africa right here in Vienna Austria. A beautiful line up of African artist staging performances that one rarely gets to see. This brought the night to an absolute hault, as if one were seated in a venue somewhere back in Africa and time just waited on this moment.

Afro poetry Cafe, a platform that many of us looked forward to, turned out with a good attendance being the first gathering. There are certainly poets who could write to order 20 page speeches in 20 different kinds of verses.… There are very few poets, however, who could write them all with such easy grace; and I doubt that there are any other poets who could pack these intricate forms with so many ideas like the ones who expressed their own written poetry and recited poems with such sentiment and passion at the Afro Poetry Cafe.
