Kwanzaa - Celebrating Song

The following is an account taken from the important text: From Afruika to Afrika Ukombozi Siku - The Living Observance of Afrika Liberation Day. It includes quotations from a number of insightful sources:

“Songs have always been at the core of creative expression in the lives of Afrikan people. Blessed with exceptional a unique and exceptional gift of pinnacle creative genius flow artful expression is prevalent throughout the panorama of life. This primary and spirit people of Creation express song in wonderful life-enhancing ways.

‘The Creator bestowed gifts on our people, gifts fundamental to human communal life. Song and dance, the gift of sweat and brawn to beat back the wilderness, conquer the soil and above all, a gift of the spirit.’

It is the magnitude and magnificence of the Afrikan as spirit that is able to express sound and movement of the unique superlative order. The power of music to the Afrikan soul is profound and deeply impactful. From the most tender years song is key to the grooming and shaping of spirit life in a people supremely articulate.

‘Dance and Song in a highly oral society also has significant functions in the socialisation or the young. In all countries economic socialisation involves teaching children values and skills necessary for their society’s economic survival and emphasises the need to serve the family. In Afrika, proverbs and songs are the devices which enable the young to memorise lessons of social commitment and service and to remember with awe the hazards of disloyalty to kinsmen and ancestors.’

In troubled times song energises the soul to overcome even the most extreme challenges. The disruptive hell of the Maafa of recent centuries imposed dire extremes. Yet, through powerful creative expression strength is given to lift the soul from the deepest of creative roots.

‘Our deep spirituality is a resource – an additional source of strength, called upon for periodical renewal, when things get especially difficult. It is a resource to be shared and passed along. And so it was during [enslavement]. As we worked in the fields when the sun was at its hottest and our backs hurt the most, when we felt least like human beings, someone would break into song. The song would catch on until it moved throughout the field and its beauty would touch our spirits and say to us, “You can create and feel the beauty.”’

Songs lift, teach, inspire and so much else in the attainment or safeguarding of Afrikan life.”

Unfortunately, the wicked alien pirate vagabonds that hurled Afrikan souls into the Maafa of recent centuries have attempted to dominate Afrikan creative expression for the own vile parasitic purposes. Alien institutions have been established to harness Afrikan genius flow, grotesquely distort and derail its naturally beneficial substance to Afrikan people. Subsequently, the positive uplift and empowerment that is naturally expressed from the Afrikan soul is under attack from foreign enemy hostiles.

Wickedly the vicious alien cuts the Afrikan from living resource, mis-engineers the Afrikan and in so doing, compels the Afrikan he rendered susceptible  (into seeing no other option) to comply with self-destructive expressions from which he can generate profit and pleasure to feed his avaricious alien ills. At the same time, the Afrikan image can be peddled around the world in a the synthetically manufactured falsehoods of behaviours unworthy of humanity. Seemingly, part of the bogus justification to terrorise or slaughter Afrikan souls at will.  

In reality, the wickedness of the foreign enslaving, brutalising, murdering alien pirate is the most savage and barbarous behaviour the world has ever seen. As long as the Afrikan is duped or coerced into the falsehood of being less than, the onslaught of criminal alien savagery persists.

Victoriously, Afrikan souls are reclaiming their creative expressions, manifest to be beneficial for the Afrikan nation in content and otherwise. During the wonderful observance of Kwanzaa Songs are expressed to lift, inspire, inform and celebrate. Of course, this is far from unique to this glorious time of year for songs, dance and other forms of creative expression are part of the annual cycle of glorious Afrikan cultivation.

Afrikan spiritual and cultural living is essential to Afrikan betterment for it is here that the wholesome living can be expressed through song and otherwise. Songs are a beautiful expression of the Afrikan soul that has been with these marvellous soul people of creation from the beginning.

The living of the Afrikan way is wonderfully manifest through organisation. It is in the coming together of Afrikan souls within the fabric of spiritual and cultural living from which songs can be fully expressed in Ukweli (Truth). The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation is an organ for Afrikan ascendancy with the foundation of such fabric. During Kwanzaa and throughout the year songs are expressed to energise the spirit during observance and at other times. The Afrikan life is to be lived, Afrikan music is to be played and the Afrikan song is to be sung.

The wonderful observance of Kwanzaa takes place from the 26th of so-called December to the 1st of so-called January. It is seven-day period of Afrikan celebration and spiritual-cultural enrichment. Based upon the harvesting traditions of the Afrikan world this celebration of first fruits has at its core the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) together with an beautiful array of deeply meaningful symbols established elevate the Afrikan world community to its fullest flourishing.
