    Germaine Acogny and the fabulous dancers taking a bow

    Why would they honor him all the way in Dakar: Simply because he loved our Africa, he saw the beauty of our dance and thought it was important to bring Western techniques in order to dev’ African Dance. In Dakar helped by Germaine Acogny he founded the Mudra Afrique School….

    Why did I want to attend: The energy from the dancers that were from various parts of West Africa..the fro-atitude….curiosity abt the Bejart legacy…curiosity abt the Acogny myth

    Verdict: Beautiful, interesting, lovely evening

    Fav’ part: Seeing all these ‘natural” African brothers and sisters on top of a Senegalese stage performing for the very first time some of his most extraordinary pieces…

  • BERGER OU ES TU ? TON TROUPEAU S’EVADE

    Cows.. Cows..

    The thing not to do: Run over  them..I know I may sound sarcastic but true of true the legend has it that if you do their owners will blast of you bad luck..true or not if you are smart enough I don’t think you will want to find out…

    I do think that it’s smart to have cows running free in an urban city such as Dakar..but MAYBE..just maybe it’s things like this that remind us of the authenticity of our continent..of the rural way of life we used to live…

    Cows Cows..I shall let you go….pardon’ooo no problem man

    But on the “real de real” c’est pas normal deee

    Andaloss decor

    Current Mood: Tired

    The song: Morning by Jean Baylor member of Zhane

    The place: Andaloss a lebanese restaurant on Sandienery Street in Downtown Dakar..from the outside..mmm nahhh

    But once inside the warm red tones and Marocan theme of the restaurant had Marieme and I thinking: ‘Oh Ok”

    The Service: Badd ..they either need to add people to their staff or teach their current employees on how to be quick and welcoming

    Example: Asked for a glass or water before my meal..didn’t get it until after we had lunch…

    Would I recomend it: Yes because it’s discreet and cosy

    The plus: Andaloss does take away they have a tea salon , pastry shop and a butcher shop..all on Sandienery Street…

    The clientele: business people during the day…

    Till next time Marieme:)

  • I Don’t Want To Believe…..

    I don’ t want to believe that there’s only way of depicting Afrika

    I want to believe that we all are different yet similar in my land

    I don’t want to believe that there are no cool blogs about Africans by Africans

    I don’t want to believe that it all can only happen abroad

    I don’t want to believe that we all have to accept the current vision of our continent

    I don’t wanna believe that there is nothing I can do

    I don’t want to believe that there will be no better days

    Hun Hun of course said with a lot of atitude lol no josee

    I just refuse
