Abibisika (Black Gold) Points I want to share this as a warning about our African culture. Here is a mzungu Israeli making a career/living off of African drumming and culture. He is profiting from traditional African music (African drums, xalam). I think too many of our people invite mzungus into our sacred culture and allow them to profit and steal from us. As a… Read more

Abibisika (Black Gold) Points His description on his website nauseates me: “Ben’s drumming style is considered as the ‘next generation’ of Senegalese drumming. His creation has been acknowledged and approved by master drummers Doudou Ndiaye Rose and Ali Ndiaye Rose.

Abibisika (Black Gold) Points They become manufactured negros, living in an unnatural state, some of us already reclaimed our lost identities, most can’t.
