As long as you're doing #BlackFriday, @blackmastodon , I want to mention an artist that caught my ear last Saturday and that's Shemikia Copeland, all because I heard just one song of hers on KALW's Tangents program. But the cut I heard was "I fell in love with a honky in a honkytonk bar"...which you can find on the following page, item number 9. I'll be listening to the rest of that page eventually. Couldn't find her on YouTube.

Interspersed among the idyllic rural countryside are scenes of men fighting each other, burning villages, and young people without enough food. Problems that plague most of Africa. I don’t speak Swahili, but it seems pretty clear he is singing about stopping violence and moving towards peace. In the last frame he shows two men shaking hands with each other. Enjoy. 2/2 https://youtu.be/detUo04lkGI
