Chairperson of African Union, President Boni Yayi of Benin and African Union Commission Jean Ping during the Global African Diaspora Summit held in Sandton Convention Centre. Johannesburg. 25/05/2012
People of the African Diaspora include descendants of the estimated 12 to 14 million Africans who were enslaved and transported to European colonies in Latin America and the United States between 1500 and 1800. Africans mixed with people in the colonies, resulting in a wide range of genetic contributions to different groups of people. The average percentage of African ancestry in the Americas varies widely: 87 percent in African Caribbeans from Barbados, 75 percent in African Americans in the United States southwest, 19 percent in Puerto Ricans, 7 percent in people with Mexican ancestry in Los Angeles and 4 percent in both Peruvians in Lima and Argentinians across Argentina.

The Scottish Diaspora Tapestry is on show in St Giles Cathedral at the moment. The project celebrates the "global Scot" and the vast Scottish diaspora of Scots abroad and the influence they have had in the history and culture of other lands.
When it left Scotland it was around 150 panels, as it journeyed around the world it grew with contributions from craftspeople across the planet, and returns now to Scotland with over 300 panels, celebrating links with Argentina, Australia, Antarctica, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Ethiopia, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Jamaica, Lithuania, Malawi, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Pakistan, Patestine/Israel, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, Tristan da Cunha, the United States of America and Zimbabwe.
The themes range across centuries and continents and subjects, from India to the ships of the Arctic Convoys (who fought the bitter ice to take support to Russia during WWII), to a Hawaiian princess. The global family. It is estimated the descendants of Scots ancestry around the world is about five times the actual population of Scotland now. They've have ranged so far throughout history, some voluntary travels for adventure, commerce, missionary works or exploration, others forced (think of the vile Highland Clearances), but wherever they went they set down roots and had an impact, from starting football in a new country to schools to helping liberate others. Nice to think of in these modern days where so many seem to want to turn inwards and xenophobia rises, something that reminds us how intertwined we are across our world.

Abdirizaq Mohamed Abdi Abdulle, a driver with the Mogadishu Taxi Company drives through the streets of the Somali capital Mogadishu, 01 September 2013. Operating since the end of May of this year in the city's dusty and once again bustling streets and thoroughfares, the MTC's distinctive yellow and purple cars offer customers taxi fares around Mogadishu at competitive rates and in the first 3 months of operations, the company has increased it's fleet of vehicles from an initial 25 to over 100. The company, according to Abdirizaq, also enables employment opportunities for Somalia's youth following two decades of conflict in the Horn of Africa nation that shattered a generation. Now, thanks to the relative peace that has followed the departure of the Al-Qaeda-affiliated extremist group Al Shabaab from the city; an internationally recognised government for the first time in years and thousands of Diaspora Somalis returning home to invest in and rebuild their country, the MTC is one of many new companies establishing itself in the new Mogadishu and offering services that were hitherto impossible to provide.

NYABINGHIA
Nyabinghia
Reggae, Ska and Funk
(Africa / South America / Europe)
Forget your sorrows and dance! With the Berlin reggae band Nyabinghia it will definitely be a great reggae party. Beside mainly roots reggae and ska Nyabinghia's songs also have rock, funk and hip hop influences. In the early days, the guys covered songs of their idol Bob Marley but meanwhile their own songs predominate and make people dance.
Lead singer "Iron Leo" does not only convey a message with rasta philosophy that brings people together but also plays guitar solos that remind of the days of Hendrix and bring back the Woodstock feeling. This music is full of drive and energy. Percussive reggae rhythms, unique basslines, groovy offbeat and keyboard arrangements also play a part in contributing to create the individual Nyabinghia sound.
The Musicians: "Iron Leo" (guit, ld voc) from Africa, Kay Wegner (keys, voc) from Germany and Tito Araújo (dr, perc) from Brazil are the basis of Nyabinghia and are often supported by renowned musicians from the German reggae scene as for instance on the bass, percussion, the backing vocals or the brass section.
check it out here! Nyabinghia live inna YAAM Berlin @ Tropical Diaspora 29.11.13

Special Guest DJ Doutor Socrates und Gastgeber DJ GarRinchA verbinden eine Menge afro brazilektrischer Pole und Künstler, sowohl live als auch an den Plattentellern. Die “Tropical Diaspora” wird zu Fusionsounds die letzten Sonnenstrahlen aus dem Dezember pressen. Um 22 Uhr öffnen sich die Tore, der Eintritt kostet sieben Euro.” – Berliner Morgenpost
"A well-known, alternative club in Friedrichshain, Jamaican tinged with tropical reggae, latin, afro and brazil nights, have become legendary in the city. YAAM is not only one of the most popular clubs in Berlin, but is also associated with numerous social projects (eg street children in Sao Paulo or construction of schools in Burkina Faso). The Brazilian DJ Garrincha comments soccer games and animates any party regardless of the outcome. On the river Spree, with chill atmosphere, with a youthful and alternative audience. Ideal to hang out with a cold beer with friends. "- Berlinda

Show respect! Good behavior is a must! Against homophobia and discrimination
External Affairs Minister Humza Yousaf today visited the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry the day before it opens to the public.
Mr Yousaf met stitchers from all over the world who have contributed to the tapestry, as well as artist Andrew Crummy (above), as they made the final preparations ahead of opening to the public at Prestonpans Community Centre tomorrow (31 May).
Mr Yousaf said:
“I saw the early stitching of some of these beautiful panels when I was visiting India and Pakistan in 2013. To see them completed now, alongside the tales from so many other countries Scots have influenced is a double inspiration – not only for embroiderers who visit but also for what we Scots today can and maybe should seek to achieve ourselves. Its Scottish touring exhibitions will make an outstanding artistic contribution to our Homecoming Scotland 2014 Programme.
“We have been delighted in Government to give our wholehearted support to Andrew Crummy and his team and help fund this project from its very beginnings in 2011. It is an imaginative and powerful way to strengthen and develop our international links across the diaspora, and we encourage everyone who can to take the chance to see the tapestry as it tours Scotland this year.”

Give me the strongest cheese, the one that stinks best;
and I want the good wine, the swirl in crystal
surrendering the bruised scent of blackberries,
or cherries, the rich spurt in the back
of the throat, the holding it there before swallowing.
Give me the lover who yanks open the door
of his house and presses me to the wall
in the dim hallway, and keeps me there until I'm drenched
and shaking, whose kisses arrive by the boatload
and begin their delicious diaspora
through the cities and small towns of my body.
To hell with the saints, with martyrs
of my childhood meant to instruct me
in the power of endurance and faith,
to hell with the next world and its pallid angels
swooning and sighing like Victorian girls.
I want this world. I want to walk into
the ocean and feel it trying to drag me along
like I'm nothing but a broken bit of scratched glass,
and I want to resist it. I want to go
staggering and flailing my way
through the bars and back rooms,
through the gleaming hotels and weedy
lots of abandoned sunflowers and the parks
where dogs are let off their leashes
in spite of the signs, where they sniff each
other and roll together in the grass, I want to
lie down somewhere and suffer for love until
it nearly kills me, and then I want to get up again
and put on that little black dress and wait
for you, yes you, to come over here
and get down on your knees and tell me
just how fucking good I look

The Scottish Diaspora Tapestry is on show in St Giles Cathedral at the moment. The project celebrates the "global Scot" and the vast Scottish diaspora of Scots abroad and the influence they have had in the history and culture of other lands.
When it left Scotland it was around 150 panels, as it journeyed around the world it grew with contributions from craftspeople across the planet, and returns now to Scotland with over 300 panels, celebrating links with Argentina, Australia, Antarctica, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Ethiopia, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Ireland, Jamaica, Lithuania, Malawi, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Pakistan, Patestine/Israel, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Sweden, Taiwan, Tristan da Cunha, the United States of America and Zimbabwe.
The themes range across centuries and continents and subjects, from India to the ships of the Arctic Convoys (who fought the bitter ice to take support to Russia during WWII), to a Hawaiian princess. The global family. It is estimated the descendants of Scots ancestry around the world is about five times the actual population of Scotland now. They've have ranged so far throughout history, some voluntary travels for adventure, commerce, missionary works or exploration, others forced (think of the vile Highland Clearances), but wherever they went they set down roots and had an impact, from starting football in a new country to schools to helping liberate others. Nice to think of in these modern days where so many seem to want to turn inwards and xenophobia rises, something that reminds us how intertwined we are across our world.
