Men Ace, you are so cultured I'm scared of you. Even more reason for you to cancel your tourist visit to the outbacks of Madinatul Munawwara. The Saudis couldn't care less. In fact all these hordes of Africans in one place is a friggin headache for these knuckleheads.

How about we weave the story of Hagar and Ismael into that of Soundiata Keita and have our pilgrimmage where it matters most. And force Abdou Latif to do the real pilgrimmage. The pilgrimmage is called Kouroukanbaa. The place is KouroukanFouga Estates deep in the heart of Mali. Since they erected a monument there two months ago, I've had my friend Aboubacarr put together a month-long activity plan for the faithful to Kouroukanbaa. I will update you once in a while. We're gonna have many more monuments and rituals before launching. Perhaps we can work a West Africa Art & Culture exhibition within the pilgrimmage. A pilgrimmage is the celebration of history and culture in as much as those form part of our religions. The wailing wall. Saanementereng.

Thank you Ace. If the idea of a book on culture and music sounds interesting, and the idea of the WACE Festival, please let us know. This is serious.

By copy of this note Ace, I ask our friend Aboubacar to add to our knowledge of KouroukanFouga, location, genesis, etc. Thank you in advance BT. I will forward your notes to our friends at Ellen (Gambia-L). And what will we call our bottled spring water at KouroukanFouga BT? We must be serious about this. No wonder the knucklehead Sarkozy says Africans don't have any significant culture.

Haruna. Whatever you have to say Ace, hold it for the book. Let's plan the Festival properly.

Haruna,
Thanks for your kind words. But like American Express-Can't leave without you. I want to drink Zam Zam with you because since the Zam Zam, I don't hear much of Ismeal, the Black son of Abrahim.
 Ismeal is like Yasser Arafat on CNN. He is not written much about.
 But when the wife of Abraham was unable to have a child it was the Africa black slave girl HagerWomb Womb-man that brought Ismeal.
 Jacob was fabricated and Ismeal dissapeared in our history books.
Drinking Zam Zam is a tribute to a black a Prophet.
Where is this place Kouroukanba at KouroukanFouga Estates. I know Taba kankourang ! Love to go.

Ace, vat is zis???? I thought you and I were performing our pilgrimmages together, the Kouroukanba at KouroukanFouga Estates?????????? What is this world coming to????

Now that I know you really wanted to throw stones and drink of Zamzam water, I'll have to begin fundraising for Ace's Hajj after we help Pa Modou Bojang. Perhaps we could raise funds for Pa & Ace's Hajj. At the KouroukanFouga Estates. Evian, I don't wanna hear it. This CamaraLaye is trying to play with our minds. In fact I withdraw the name CamaraLaye. From now on he's Abdou Latif. Regardez-moi ca.

Haruna.

Subj: Congratulations to El Hajj Momodou Camara

Folks,
I take the liberty to introduce to you our newly minted El Hajj
Momodou
Camara (Denmark). Knowing Momodou (oops El Hajj Momodou) he would
prefer
to keep this private but as Gambians, we like to go public with all
things Hajj! Once again congratulations.
