She was at the "caravan to the Ancestors" in Galveston Texas last year. Egungun, Egungun ni t'aiye ati jo! Ancestos, Ancestors come to earth and dance! "I'm sick of the war and the civilization that created it. Let's look to our dreams, and the magical; to the creations of the so-called primitive peoples for new inspirations." - Jaques Vache and Andre Breton "Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone." -John Maynard "You know that in our country there were even matriarchal societies where women were the most important element. On the Bijagos islands they had queens. They were not queens because they were the daughters of kings. They had queens succeeding queens. The religious leaders were women too..." -- Amilcar Cabral, Return to the Source, 1973    |

Really? That's interesting, I would have loved to see her perform in person. Did she perform some of her poetry or was she there as a motivational speaker of some sort?

Actually, she just attended as a fellow Aborisha there to venerate the ancestors. Egungun, Egungun ni t'aiye ati jo! Ancestos, Ancestors come to earth and dance!
