Wanda's Picks Radio Show: Who is Albert Woodfox Part 2

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1. Rebecca Hensley, Social Change Agent speaks to us about Albert Woodfox, Angola 3   2. We end with an archival conversation with Thomas Mapfumo, revolutionary artist, known as the Lion of Zimbabwe. He appeared in Berkeley at Ashkanez Music and Dance Center a couple of months ago. We open with his Varimudande, a traditional piece from his ancestral village and people.
