Shrine Music

Music holds a special place in the souls of the first and spirit ones of Creation. Afrikan music is sacred music and as is so with other forms of creative expression from this soul people of superlative genius flow, it holds depth of meaning beyond compare. Profoundly intertwined with the progressive life of the Afrikan - this phenomenon both reaches and is expressed from the soul in a magnificent way. Celebration, ritual and rites are accompanied by musical expression as the spiritual whole is realised through the vibrational form as it harmonises with energies of the ethereal to emit vitality throughout personhood. From the music expressed from the self through voice, finger snaps or hand claps to the outward channelling of creativity through the drum, kora or mbira, divine spirit articulation is realised. As Afrikans gather at special times and in special places the distinct spirit vibrations can be heard and felt. As part of an Afrikan shrine musical instrumentation can be represented with an actual instrument or symbolically. When gathered at a shrine expressions can be chanted, played or both.  Music is indeed the spiritual soundscape of Afrikan life and such becomes an important feature Afrikan shrine activity. The Kishwahili word for music is Muziki.

With the vicious genocidal onslaught of the Maafa Afrikan song has been attacked in the most wicked of ways. Enemy efforts to completely destroy this profound creative expression have been unleashed through banning, censorship or the grotesque manipulations to transform it into a vehicle to popularise negativity imposed upon Afrikan life.  If not completely outlawed, the so-called master of the plantation would handsomely reward the music that pleasured him. He took great pleasure in being entertained as ‘Lord’ - a position guaranteed if Afrikans remained in subjugated horror. Therefore, the misuse of the Afrikan as vessel to provide pleasure was two-fold: to elevate the so-called master and in self-denigration.  The legacy of this foul set of circumstance linger and Afrikans throughout the world are subject to being coerced and manipulated with a barrage of vices to continue to provide pleasure to the others that mean them ill.

Gloriously, the spiritual essence of music never leaves the Afrikan soul and performances throughout the world reflect this in a powerful way. As Afrikan people continue to become more aware of themselves and reclaim self-governance and the autonomy over their creative flow, music can again be consistently elevated as expression of deep progressiveness and sacred substance. Of course, it follows that righteous life produces righteous expression and therefore the mission for global Afrikan ascendancy must surely be made real in the lives of every Afrikan soul.

Having a shrine in the home (and by extension) having a special places for the Afrikan community at large is certainly a part of that effort. Harnessing the power of music for ingathering, focus and harmonious vibration at a shrine is key. It could be asserted that music in this regard is Afrikan Shrine Music. The sacred music of the Afrikan soul freely expressed energises the attainment and maintenance of freedom for a whole people.  Muziki lives.

Kimungu Madhabahuni takes place during the holiday period associated with the spring equinox. At this time many people are away from the mundane of the various institutions albeit largely as a dictate of presently popular foreign religious doctrine. This therefore, can allow many more Afrikan people the time and space to restore, elevate and be themselves freely in reverence at their own special places.

A wonderful way to restore the collective ascendancy through shrine elevation is to become a part of an organ for Afrikan ascendancy.  The Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN) is an Afrikan-centred spiritual and cultural mission for ascendancy that embodies living spiritually and culturally rooted life.
