Here’s Lagbaja’s latest video. One thing that is peculiar to Lagbaja is the way he weaves cultures into each other seemingly flawlessly. Talk of hybridity. This one is done in Spanish and Yoruba, and the music is nice.
I like what I’ve seen so far.
I realize that this is a bit late, but I did make a short video of my visit to the Mardi Gras at the Soulard in St. Louis. Find it below so that you can appreciate the crowd. And the crowd you can see here is not even almost a tenth of the whole population of visitors on that day. I wonder how wild it would have been had it taken place in the summer.
My report of the event appeared in the Nigerian newspaper 234Next last week Friday. Find it here. This was my first time of being published in that newspaper.
Away from the first two depressing posts of this year, here’s really how this decade will begin on ktravula.com: fun.
Hat tip to Bukola O, a regular commenter on this blog from Aberdeen, Scotland, who sent me this lovely song, along with a mail of appreciation, and who called me her favourite blogger of 2009. What can I say? It has been good for me as well. Thank you so very much.
I have downloaded the song from iTunes and is now on constant replay on my laptop.
