Harlem to Northern Ghana
The Cultural Oneness Festival is set to establish itself as a prominent event in the global entertainment scene. The inaugural edition aims to attract over 80,000 attendees, both physically and virtually. It will augment Ghana’s annual “Beyond the Year of Return” festivities, which follow the highly successful “Year of Return” celebrations in 2019, commemorating 400 years since the beginning of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade.
Unlike previous festivals of similar magnitude, such as Panafest and Year of Return, which focused on the coastal areas of Ghana, the Cultural Oneness Festival will offer a fresh and distinctive experience. It aims to introduce participants from around the world to the diverse and vibrant cultures of the Savanna area, which is part of West Africa’s expansive Sahel region.

MUSIC MONDAY: “I’ll Take You There” – The Best of Mavis Staples (LISTEN)
by Marlon West (FB: marlon.west1 Twitter: @marlonw IG: stlmarlonwest Spotify: marlonwest)
Mavis Staples is eighty-four years old as I peck these words. She has been a gospel and soul singer longer than Elizabeth II wore the crown.
Many R&B vocalists started in gospel music, though she and her family have always kept a foot in both worlds. The Staple Singers have brought their spirituality, and devotion to civil rights to all of their studio and stage offerings.
From the churches across the South Side of Chicago and the Rock ‘n Stages with artists a third her age, Mavis Staples has brought her unique smokey voice to audiences for decades.
This collection brings together her many works with The Staple Singers from 1948 until 1999, and her own solo offerings from 1969 to the present.
Mavis Staples is still an in-demand guest vocalist to boot. She has dueted or sung background with Mahalia Jackson, The Band, Gorillaz, Jon Batiste, Run the Jewels, Hozier, Benjamin Booker, Sheryl Crow, Abraham Alexander and so many others.
Mavis Staples is the only subject of one of these playlists that I have had the pleasure of spending any meaningful time with. Back in 2012 I was honored to be one of the Alumni Of The Year at Columbia College Chicago. She received an honorary doctorate from the college.
I was delighted to spend hours visiting with her that graduation weekend. She could not have been more warm, insightful, and kind.
Please enjoy this collection featuring decades of Doctor Mavis’ work with The Staple Singers, as a solo artist, and generous collaborator.
As always, stay safe, sane, and kind.
