Significant to Me.

The BUTHIDARS

Each one of us has songs that are significant to us for one reason or another and that when played can transport us to the where and when they first wove their magic or recorded the tragic. If you know exactly what I’m talking about it would be great to know what music does this for you whether or not you want to share the reasons why. This first one is from 1994 and is a classic track from the Stax label.

William Bell and Judy Clay. Private Number.

From 1971 we see what might have been the start of my Reggae period because of the wording of this particular song.

Hucchuman And His Humber

Wonderful story – thank you.

Weekend Stories by Trishikh

Un grupo de alrededor de 150 indígenas llevó un enorme ataúd simbólico a las escaleras del palacio presidencial en Brasilia y le prendió fuego.

El ataúd tenía la inscripción «Genocidio» en la parte superior con «Ecocidio», «No al marco temporal», así como otras consignas en los laterales.

Más de 6.000 pueblos indígenas de 176 naciones indígenas se reunieron en el campamento «Lucha por la vida» frente a la Corte Suprema de Brasil en Brasilia para exigir que los jueces fallen a su favor y rechacen el plazo de 1988 adoptado por el gobierno de Bolsonaro en 2016 y promovido por la agro -Sectores de industria, ganadería, explotación forestal y minería de oro.
