Just back in from the West End Center Aldershot from watching Reg Meuross on guitar/vocals, with Cohan Braithwaite Kiloyne concertina and vocals, and Jali Fily Cissokho? on Kora playing "Stolen from God". A folk song cycle about the transatlantic slave trade. Had no idea what it was going to be like, but thoroughly enjoyed it and bought the CD at the half time break. In between each song there was a reading about the capture and treatment of slaves and their masters
Seemed a good end to the day. After earlier this afternoon replying to an old friend i have known since primary school on face book after his post ranting about Islamic slavers and how they enslaved Christians, and me pointing out slavery has been going on for thousands of years and that many thousands of slaves were taken by Christians, and that he could read about it on Wikipedia.
Sounds very interesting - unfortunately they're not doing it anywhere I can get to.
Eurgh - whatabouterism at its worst.
