Dear All, just to hold the human in equipose with the economic some music by K'naan a Somalian musician.The first is the world cup anthem, the other a critique of Somolia and the third an inspirational call to Africa! Interestingly in the first you see the role of coke. Mabye despite itself capitalism rather than socialism withers the state, but then affirms the nation? While the process has its own kind of incidiousness, it also has its creative fusions, it spaces of hope-- what permutations this world will take in the coming years for good or for ill remains to be seen. I would also be interested to know what if any reactions this video received from the muslim world?

Happy listening.
The thing is that we like the world in our own image - so did God - even Somalians do not look threatening when they walk, talk, sing and drink Coke like us! Is it diversity? Is it appreciation of diversity. Is it cultural consent and uniformity? Is it Pax MNCs!
