She gave of her family tradition to the world without getting the proper compensation she deserved. It’s time we gave back for the funerary rites and for the grieving family I put $25 to the pot who can match or double me? gofund.me/44ba8990f

While we love the music, it is important to remember that this Black music is still heavily policed and surveilled in the DR. She may have reached folkloric status but this music which represents Afro-resistance is always a threat to the state order. gofund.me/44ba8990f

February 28th, La reina de la salve Dominicana joined the ancestors. If you’ve ever listened to “los olivos” “india del agua” “gran Bwa” know she was singing music that got us closer to freedom and closer to spirit. #PaloDominicano #AfroLatina gofund.me/44ba8990f

For anyone who has ever listened to “yo soy ogun balenyo” please consider putting in for Enerolisa, who deserved nothing but the best in this life and in the ancestral plane. It was the great privilege of my life to host an event with them in the Bronx and it’s time to give back.

The Dominican Republic will celebrate Enerolisa today and police salves tonight. Just last year a group of women were playing some salves on stage and the cops came to shut it down accusing the music of being Haitian, despite the tradition being older than the DR itself.

Speaking it into the ether or whatever but it looks like I could be done with this degree within the year. Don’t ask me what I’m doing after. I don’t wanna think about it because the pain continues. What I really want is my life back and the room to find a new “passion”

Coincidently Pro-Bukele troll farms were part of the disinformation network aiding CJNG in the aftermath of El Mencho's death. english.elpais.com/international/…

Palestinian poet @MosabAbuToha, who fled Gaza in late 2023, says "it's still a genocide" as Israel continues to block most humanitarian aid from entering the territory while also killing hundreds of people since the start of the U.S.-backed ceasefire.
