Afri-WATU we are back to the Kanem-Bornu Empire - Part 2!

This Empire had everything, and each time as I said last time, there is more and more and more to unearth....I encourage you all to really follow the paths, and get lost in the detail and wonder of these ancestors.

As usual a HUGE thank you to Big City Studios for bringing the stories to life with dope production.

Until nest time

Mubarikiwe!

Afri-WATU!

So excited to share with you the first part of one of the most well known Empires in the world, the Kanem-Bornu Empire!

This was a mighty task to research and so very worth it, it is one of those civilisations you think you know, and then just like that, another deeper layer is uncovered. Even after alllllllll the material out there, it still feels like there is so much unsaid! We would love to hear from the descendants their stories of their ancestors, check in with us!

Thank you as always to Big City Studios! Always delivering the BEST production!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

Afri-WATU!

Welcome to the conclusion of the Kasanje Kingdom!

We get to meet the rulers and the actual Imbangala military society. It was a great journey learning about this kingdom and bringing them to life for you all.

As usual a huge thank you to Big City Studios for making this sound so good and correcting my sound errors!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

Afri-WATU!

Welcome to the first of our African Ancestor Kingdoms of S6! The Kasanje Kingdom!

We start with a powerful and right in your face civilisation whose infamy and reputation precedes them.

The Imbangala (sometimes also known as Jaga) were FIERCE and they used all the tools in their control and power to subdue their enemies and those unlucky enough to cross their path.

As usual a huge thank you to Big City Studios for correcting all my dodgy mic sound...you truly work wonders to create a whole new world.

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

HABARI ZENU AFRI-WATU!

It's been ages since we were back on the air, and AfriWetu ti really excited to kick of S6 with a special interview had with Daniel Story of the American History Association - yep our Ancestors are truly global.

I wanted to thank you all for coming back, today marks 6 years to the month that AfriWetu first came onto the airwaves, and it is quite something, I still pinch myself!

Enough about me, you will hear more from me in this interview, and after that we go right back to where we love....meeting the Ancestors and this year with a few extra special episodes when we delve into new civilisations and themes! Its all part of the plan....

Sit back and enjoy,

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

AFRIWATU!

It’s Part 2 of the Yao people!

Welcome back to this journey to the past and discovering more about these ancestors. Today we keep digging further into the Yao as a community and understand their diversity and culture.

These ancestors had A LOT going on and so even here is it merely a tip of the mountain that we have covered! It’s always such a pleasure to pique your interest, keep telling us more about your ancestors! 

As usual a huge thank you to Big City Studios for awesome production.

Until next time

AFRI-WATU! The Yao have officially arrived at our threshold!

We have met them in many other previous episodes, so how awesome to finally MEET them in their own show right!

It was such a wonderful journey and as usual it took its own turns that AfriWetu didnt expect, so part 1 is already packed, and part 2 will be coming shortly!

As usual a huge thank you to Big City Studios for the ace production of this show, always such magic comes out bringing our ancestors to life.

Until next time
