Ace, I thought Tiken Jah Fakoly was Malian. Or is it like Modibo Keita the
champion olympian who is actually from another neighbouring country but
acquired Malian citizenship during war there? Or does Fakoly have one parent
from Mali and the other from Ivory Coast? I gotta read up on this guy. I
think in addition to his music, he may have another inspirational story like
the Taekwondo maestro. I thank you Ace. What're you doing enjoying summer
festivals without inviting me? I thought you said you were going to invite
me. Have you been speaking with Olfactor and Giuseppe?
Haruna. I'm watching yew Ace. You Sy-sy you.

Thank you, the music budsiness is eating up my time these days, and the
summer festivals are rocking, I am on your Heels. I read yoiu everyday
almost, The forum is like my breakfast, Its my newspaper, what I need to know
from elsewhere I catch up with it here. I know the man, Tiken Jah Fakoly
well in the industry but not personal, he is a rising Reggae singer from Ivory
Coast and was denied permission to play in senegal and his music was
banned for a time ( Welcome to Senegalese democracy & consciouness) for
critising the government. He is a runner up to Alpha Blondy in Ivory coast. In
2009-2010 Alpha Blondy charge a fee of 20.000 (thousand) euros, (the most paid
African artist) for a 90 minutes show while Tiken Jah Faakoly charge is a
mere 5.000 (Thousand) Euros, He is coming up in French speaking countries
and he is a rebel artist. They all enjoyed government housing scheme
facilities for free housing and rehearsal homes and studios, just like in Europe
and America as well as finanbncial subisdies for career support. All french
speaking countries they have an annual bufget from France, the government
and the french institutions, to tour the world and also to make music for
the community franciase. Ivory Coiast still have to come up with a national
music. They cannot hide behind Bob Marley. The have many local tribes and
local music, they cannot be Small Paris forever, even Alpha Blondy said it "
I Love Paris", Let the African music play from Ivory Coast, let freedomn
ring.
Amabdla !!!

Subject: In honour of Femi Peters, Here is April 13th's edition of ORTM
News.
In this edition:
1. ATT receives Bissau's minister of foregin affairs who delivers a
message from Bissau President Sanyang.
2. ATT in Sao Paolo. (As my lawncare technician Will is won't to quip;
Haruna, I'm going to SANG PAOLO)
You would think Mali's President does not need to sell Mali to malians
living abroad. NOT ATT. You know he's a cut above idiots. Everyone was
impressed with ATT's patriotic presentation. No powerpoints here Laye. Go away.
Braseeeeeel!
3. Mali PM Hon. Modibo Sidibe considers advalorem agriculture. McModibo.
What a brilliant idea. You guys don't even know how much I enjoyh Malians.
They are sooo intelligent.
4. Bamako-Senou International Airport expansion and modernisation
complete. And operational. Freight handling hangar and airconditioned warehouses
are crucial. Now fresh fruits and vegetables can be exported without
diminished quality and freshness. This is what we mean by enabling local producers
and manufacturers. Not kidnapping them and carting them off to your
God-forsaken farms.
5. Supplementary thermal power station at Sirakoro inaugurated by Energy
minister Mamadou Igor Diarra. Another at Balingue' is under construction to
be completed in time for Mali-50. The two thermal stations together will add
100MW of electricity to the Malian grid.
6. Mali Biofuels gets a boost in the arm. UNDP and IMF help with funding.
7. Adema-Pasj (alliance political party, the largest in Mali with some 50
odd representatives in the National assembly) convenes. Prof. Dioncounda
Traore (NA president) presides.
8. ATT announces the allocation of 10 billion FCfa to Mali's regions. Each
region will get 1 billion FCfa to expend on any number of critical
projects. This is sort of like Obama and Biden's Infrastructure Development
Stimulus package. The regions will propose shovel-ready projects to be approved
and funded by the National government. The projects will be monitored and
everyone associated with the projects will be accountable to the people of
the communes. Osmotic growth. What an idea???
9. Mali Agriculture gallops toward export. Mango export. I can't wait for
my mango juice made in Mali. Hell I might become a friggin distributor. I
gotta do my homework on that. Evian I don't wanna hear it. Don't you know
Mali water tastes better than Zam-Zam and Evian??? This is what I say about
you.
10. Mali Musician Tiken Jah Fakoly gives back to his home communities in
the form of agricultural capacity building. He also built a school. I think I
have a new favourite musician. Ace do you know this guy? Tiken Jah Fakoly?
I gotta look him up.
11. Mali customs intercept a boat loaded with counterfeit drugs from
La-Guinea, intended for the consumption of Malians. Bravo Mali Douane!!!!
Police, adjective.
