I dread the idea of any of my friends getting partners because I swear every time they do they never do anything with me or if they do all they talk about is their partner

Writers are scary because we’ll take personal trauma and think, "Hmm… what if this happened to my fictional characters but worse?"

Mary Lou Williams (born Mary Elfrieda Scruggs; May 8, 1910 – May 28, 1981) Was A Jazz Pianist, Composer,

Mary Lou Williams (born Mary Elfrieda Scruggs; May 8, 1910 – May 28, 1981) was a jazz pianist, composer, and arranger who wrote hundreds of compositions and arrangements and recorded over one hundred records. She was born in Atlanta but grew up in Pittsburgh. She was one of eleven children and taught herself to play piano, performing her first recital at age ten. She became a professional musician at the age of fifteen when she played with Duke Ellington and the Washingtonians. She joined a band led by saxophonist John Williams and married him in 1927.

They moved to Oklahoma City, where in 1929 John joined Andy Kirk’s band, Twelve Clouds of Joy. She worked for a year as a solo pianist and a music arranger. She took the name “Mary Lou” and was recording jazz albums.

She left Twelve Clouds of Joy after divorcing her husband. She moved back to Pittsburgh, where she started a band with Harold “Shorty” Baker and Art Blakey. She left the group to join Duke Ellington’s orchestra in New York where she became the star vocalist. She moved back to New York where she started a radio show called Mary Lou Williams’s Piano Workshop.

She took her talents overseas and performed mostly in England. She retired from music and focused on her newly embraced Catholic faith. She created the Bel Canto Foundation, an effort to help addicted musicians return to performing. She returned to the music business in time to perform at the Newport Jazz Festival. She started her record label and founded the Pittsburgh Jazz Festival.

She focused on religious jazz with recordings like Black Christ of the Andes which was a tribute to the Afro-Peruvian priest St. Martin de Porres. She wrote Music for Peace. She never abandoned secular music as in 1965 when she performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival. She recorded new albums and became an artist-in-residence at Duke University, teaching the History of Jazz among other courses. She directed the Duke Jazz Ensemble. She performed at the White House for President Jimmy Carter and guests. She participated in Benny Goodman’s 40th anniversary Carnegie Hall concert. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

yo yo yo welcome back to this blog❤️

Today's artist is Peruvian legend Eva Ayllón. She's one of the most recognizable singers of peruvian creole music (música criolla), a very interesting genre that encapsulates the rich and varied culture of the country, mixing influences from Andean music (música andina), African music and European dances (like waltz and mazurka).

Eva Ayllón's musical career starts as a solist in the 1970s; she later joined the group "Los Kipus" and reached national recognition. (P.S. some of her best recordings are listed in Los Kipus' profile if you're using Spotify!)

Here's my favourite song from one of their best album:

Also called "la Reina del Landó", Eva is regarded as the best representative of afro-peruvian music. Landó is a dance originated from Angola, in Africa, where it was used to accompany marriage cerimonies. It was brought to Perú by the Spanish slave trade in the 16th century. There's also samba landó, which is very similar, from what I gather, though some people consider it to be the same as landó.

You can also find several other afroperuvian dances in her discography, like "Inga" for example.

Here's my favourite recording of "Taita Guaranguito", a landó song:

BLACK ERASURE IN ARGENTINA

Argentina is Blacker than it likes to admit. “Mexicans descend from the Aztecs, Peruvians from the Incas, but Argentinians descend from ships from Europe,” so goes an old saying that encapsulates Argentina’s perception of itself as a nation of White Europeans that never had Blacks. Afro-Argentines formed almost half of the population of Argentina in 1778, but an evidently systematically implemented anti-Blackness policy reduced them to 30% of the population by the time the country gained independence from Spain in 1816.

Several decades of racial politics and alleged extermination campaigns followed where they were slowly yet steadily wiped out and their rich Black culture erased from the nation’s collective consciousness. Today, statistics show Afro-Argentines form a paltry 0.4% of Argentina’s total population, making it the Whitest country not just in Latin America but the Whitest country outside of Europe.

Evidently, there were no racially-oriented laws in Argentina, such as South Africa’s apartheid or the Jim Crow laws in the United States, but the country created a lot of obstacles that prevented Black people from accessing lands, the labour market and education. Over the centuries, Black and indigenous people chose to strategically increasingly mix with and pass off as White to escape marginalisation. Some of the country’s biggest stars can trace their lineage back to Black slaves. However, compared to other South American teams, the all-White, always-White roster of the soccer team must have piqued your curiosity.

This Whitening process was attempted throughout much of the Americas, in places such as Brazil, Uruguay as well as the United States, when the American Colonization Society set up Liberia as a home for freed slaves. What makes Argentina’s story unique in this context, however, is that it successfully pushed to build its image as a White country. Ex-president Domingo Faustino Sarmiento once said towards the end of the 19th century that it would be impossible to see Blacks in Argentina unless one travelled to Brazil. African Stream’s Brenda Mwai lays out the case.

One thing I’ve learned about writing is ”give everything a face”. It’s no good to write passively that the nobility fled the city or that the toxic marshes were poisoning the animals beyond any ability to function. Make a protagonist see how a desperate woman in torn silks climbs onto a carriage and speeds off, or a two-headed deer wanders right into the camp and into the fire. Don’t just have an ambiguous flock of all-controlling oligarchy, name one or two representatives of it, and illustrate just how vile and greedy they are as people.

it’s bad to have characters who serve no purpose in the story, but giving something a face is a perfectly valid purpose.
