Japanese investors back new VC fund targeting African startups The backing by large firms underscores the growing interest from the nation in African companies as they contend with a shrinking market and relatively low interest rates at home.

Nairobi-based Novastar used the latest fund to invest in electric bus company BasiGo and the fleet manager for Uber’s two-wheeler EV fleet. #africasky #green #goodnews

March is often full of performative declarations on women's rights. Here is a lobby fighting for something concrete. #africasky #womensrights

I wonder to what extent the fact that learning in South Asia is mostly in local languages, as opposed to SSA where former colonial languages dominate in education, accounts for the slower literacy progress in the latter region. #language #Africasky

CAF strips Senegal of AFCON title, Morocco declared African champions Governing body's appeal board rules Senegal forfeited final after players walked off pitch over referring decision.

Pyrrhic victory (/ˈpɪrɪk/ PIRR-ik): A victory gained at such a cost to the victor that it is tantamount to defeat. A victory that negates any true sense of achievement or damages long-term progress.
Morocco, is this worth it?

‪#BurkinaFaso has many great artists. I interviewed choreographer Serge Aimé Coulibaly in 2023 in this timeless piece about how the 12thC Manden Charter influenced his outlook and the role of artists in society.

Letta Mbulu's album Letta.

#NowSpinning: I came to Letta Mbulu the way I've discovered so many artists: Harry Belafonte brought her with on tour and shone a spotlight on her. For whatever reason his pal Miriam Makeba couldn't make it, so Letta stepped up and into history (at least for me).

The Ladysmith Black Mambazo album Shaka Zulu

#NowSpinning: Who needs instruments? Not LBM; they've sold 30 million records worldwide without so much as a mbira.

It's a rainy day here in the Twin Cities, which always compels me to listen to the track "Beautiful Rain" while the backyard weed plants flourish.

The album The Voice of Africa by Miriam Makeba

#NowSpinning - If you're not sitting around languidly smoking a bowl of weed and listening to Miriam Makeba LPs on a rainy Saturday afternoon, you might want to ask yourself where your life went wrong.

(It's not too late to get on your good foot.)

The album The World of Miriam Makeba

#NowSpinning - A rainy Twin Cities morning calls for the might of Mama Africa. Most of these songs are saying "fuck white colonizers" in various African languages, and I couldn't agree more. Elon's family have been dicks since forever.

The Ray Lema album Nangadeef

#NowSpinning - It didn't seem right to give this a debut spin on anything but Saturday. Pairs perfectly with a tangy AK-47 sativa buzz and, through no choice of its own, instant coffee.

The album Africa Shona Mbira Music, Recorded in Mondoro & Highfields, Rhodesia by Paul Berliner

#NowSpinning - Keeping the vibe going with this; both it and the earlier album were thrifting finds by my homey Benevolent @blakedonley.bsky.social , who knows my affinity for world music.

Despite my utter lack of musical ability, I kinda want one of these now...

The album The Music of Africa

#NowSpinning - It's Saturday, but that's not going to keep me from learning some shit. Every day's a school day!

Hope your weekend is off to a great start. I've got a qtr oz of Juicy Fruit I'm trying to get through to make room for incoming Cali Burger. (Tough job, but...)
