Fun fact: back in the 1990s, actors on Checkmate earned royalties... in pounds, no less. Our industry was actually heading somewhere until desperation crept in and folks started giving away everything.

@ExcelJoab You people need to bring back the pod. Even if it's on a monthly basis. We don't even need the video. Just give use audio recording with your phone done in a car. We need the pod.

@idhebor Another interesting thing is how Desert Blues serves as a companion genre to a lot of American genres like blues, rock and whatever Carlos Santana does.
I'd really love to experience what it feels like to find that genre for the first time again.

The year I discovered the desert blues and the philosophy of its players, I learned a little about life and my art found a deeper spirit

@idhebor It seems endless in how many ideological underpinnings it can carry.
One moment, Tinariwen is letting you know they miss home and using their guitar as a physical metaphor for the wars they've gone through, and in the same song, the videos are looking like sci-fi masterpieces.

@idhebor True, true.
For me, it was hearing Savane by Ali Farka Touré for the first time. The sound felt like open skies and slow winds. It kind of even changed how I see musicals integration in films.

My people. This is how to write a proper cultural critique.
Come with facts and the exploration of systematic undercurrents not just vibes and a loud mouth.

I am so pleased to share this gorgeous cover of the Canadian edition of my forthcoming book Contraband Bodies---a personal record of diasporic encounter as well as other Black migrants entangled in exilic plights. Thanks for everyone who has contributed to this literary journey.

Next assignment: You and your friends need to figure out how to take over Nollywood.

@Catchoris I've seen 71. I work in Nollywood and I live in Nigeria. I'm sure I have 5 friends who work in Nollywood and have seen more.

@_LOHI_ My thoughts exactly. Post your results don't be humble.

You underestimate the small cinephile community we have

I'll be surprised to find that a Nigerian born, raised, and living in Nigeria has seen up to 58 films in the NYT list of Best 100 Movies of the century. It's certainly impossible that more than 9 such persons work in Nollywood. Based on what is produced. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
