AfriWATU! Murakoze

AfriWetu presents...a legend from the Rwanda Kingdom! Which also means this is a Guest Narrator show! A huge thank you to Olga for gracing us with her voice for our formidable NYABINGHI MUHUMUZA!

This queen was just legendary and honestly....just listen in to her story and then go and do your own deeper research. My fam from the region, please share any other fasctinating stories about Muhumuza that we can share with the AfriWATU!

As usual, a big Asante to Lee of Big City Studios for making us sound good!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

Amakuru AFRI-WATU!!!!

It's Part 2 of the Rwanda Kingdom! 

We continue the dope stories of these special ancestors, well special to AfriWetu! 

Last time we met the drama and this time we get, well even more! Although this is Part 2, this is still just a tip of the ice-berg...so remember to go and do your own deeper reseacrh.

My Rwandan fam, make sure you reach out to AfriWetu and give your take on these ancestors. 

As usual I want to thank Lee Kanyottu of Big City studios for doing his thing with production and making it seem like we are right there with our ancestors...ASANTE!

Sit back and enjoy!

Until Next Time!

Mubarikiwe!

AFRI-WATU!!!! 

A Brand Spanking New Series & New Episode just for you!

This is such a dope way for me to start the 4th year of AfriWetu! Tune in to hear the stories of a special set of ancestors...I am truly excited to share this with you all!

Meet the Rwanda Kingdom, a Kingdom that had much drama and intrigue and conquest and a ruling dynasty that dominated its story.... so it was impossible to fit it all in one episode, despite that being my intention, so look out for Part 2 that will be dropping soon!

As usual I want to thank Lee Kanyottu of Big City studios for doing his thing with production and making it seem like we are right there with our ancestors...ASANTE!

Sit back and enjoy!

Until Next Time!

Mubarikiwe!

WE ARE BAAAAACK! 

New civilisation and Guest Narrator episodes loading.....

That you for coming back for our FOURTH year and series AfriWATU!

Mubarikiwe

MAMBO Afri-WATU!

Would you believe its the end of S3 and the last episode of the series...

Presenting the Wrap Up with our Guest Host Kenya Gachecheh! Yup its that time when I hand over AfriWetu to my Guest with total control over content and questions....

He did a great job and it was a pleasure to invite him back, we last heard him in S1! Asante Kenyua for accepting the invite and coming up with great questions! Thank you to Lee Kanyottu for a great job as usual in making us sound soooooooo clever and colourful with the magic of great production!

S3 was a trip! I we increased our audience by A LOT! and our loyal listeners....that is thanks to you for sharing with your family and friends - ASANTE SANA.   For now I am taking a long break, and will be back in next year for more dope African History! 

Until next time.....Keep Rooted In YOUR Story

Mubarikiwe

Afri-WATU! 

Would you believe that this is the last Legend of the S3! And what better way to close out than with this very indomitable and formidable legend - Labostibeni!

This also means it was a Guest Narrator show, and AfriWetu had the honour of hosting the Queen of Nyummy....June Gachui! Thank you to her for her brilliant narration...she truly did our legend justice.

Please remember to listen in to the previous two episodes on the Kingdom of Eswatini for an even deeper context!

As usual, a huge Thanks to Lee for making us sound crisp! And a special thanks to June for lending her voice again, to AfriWetu and making this so much fun!

Until next time

Mubarikiwe!

Welcome back to the Eswatini Kingdom AfriWATU!

As usual a huge thank you to Lee Kanyottu of Big City Studios for making me sound good!

Until next time....

Mubarikiwe!

Afri-WATU! 

It's a brand new civilisation just for you.

Let's travel back to the Kingdom of Eswatini, a truly fascinating kingdom which today exists in close to its original form. This was such a trip to study and bring to you all. There was not enough time to pack everything into one episode....so this is a two -parter with Part 2 coming through to you in a few weeks!

I was truly excited to research this kingdom, it has always been on the AfriWetu list and it did not disappoint. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

As usual a huge thank you to Lee Kanyottu of Big City Studios for making me sound good! 

Until next time....

Mubarikiwe!

Pẹlẹ o!!

Afri-WATU we are back, after AGES, with such a bang, as we round off our visit to our West African Ancestors, with a LEGEND's story just for you!

We get to meet the Legend that is ODUDUA and his story is narrated by our very good friend of the podcast, Teju! It was such fun to record this episode with him, as a first time guest on the show, we shall bring him back for sure. Thank you Teju for being such a sport!

Odudua has a very special place in our Yoruba fams story and it was such an eye opener as to the way in which this story cost across the borders. 

As always, huge THANKS to Lee Kanyottu for delivering and making us sound podcast worthy!

Until next time,

Mubarikiwe!

Welcome Afri-WATU! 

Part 2 of the truly awesome Benin Empire!!

As we close out on this civilisation, I still feel like we have genially just skimmed the surface...but that is ok as I know you are all going to do your own deeper research, yes? There is so much out there, and when you think you have read it all...even more comes to the surface. It was a wonderful journey to go on! Remember to check out Part 1 if you haven't already!

As always, huge THANKS to Lee Kanyottu for delivering as always and making me sound good!

Until next time,

Mubarikiwe!
