Via my friend Grant, I got this extremely funny video remix in which two Nigerian singers are trying to charm American music star Beyonce to sleep / hook up with them. Seriously funny guys, you have to watch this.

This commercial totally reminds me of Maasai people in fake tourist villages all over Kenya and Tanzania.  Kudoz to Africa is a Country.

It looks nice, but the mutation is most likely the effect of pollution in the area.

The other face of Cape Town

Posted on 16 April 2009 by Codrin Arsene

Faith47-The Cape Of Good Hope from Rowan on Vimeo. An inspired short movie in the city I spent the last three months of my life. Despite looking quite disapointing in this movie, Cape Town still remains one of my favorite cities of all times.  (via Africa is a Country)

Posted on 08 April 2009 by Codrin Arsene

Salif Keita is one of my favorite African singers. He is a famous Malian singer who was able to overcome his condition – albinism – and make the best of his life. you should buy one of his albums. It’s really worth it.

Awesome quote of the day

I’m going through my research material from Uganda as I’m preparing to write my masters thesis. I just came across one of the most hilarious quotes on my tapes. Check this out (it’s by a woman craft maker):

 

A  man who speaks and gives orders is that who has money to meet the needs of his wife. But if a man cannot fulfill those duties, then he is not a man after all, right? He’s just a nagging woman with a penis.

This Vanguard reportage deserves to be seen.

I don’t normally post things that are not Africa-related but this young man from Taiwan is simply amazing. Lin Yu Chun participated in a Taiwanese version of the American Idol called Super Star Avenue, singing the song I will always love you by Whitney Houston. I’ll keep it short: his version of the song is clearly better than what Mrs. Houston is capable of singing right now. Some dubbed him the “Susan Boyle of Taiwan” and there might just be something of this young man. Check it out yourselves. I’m sure you’ll be surprised as well.

To all of us who have experienced the adventure that is a boda-boda (motorcycle-taxi in East Africa, primarily in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and DR Congo)
