"The Ancestors and our Connectedness to Them" presented by Dr. Fu-Kiau (Dap @ Nkrumah)

Dig it!


Dr. Fu-Kiau is cited quite a lot in Afrocentric circles so I thought I might pass this video along to y'all, courtesy of Nkrumah Lucien. There is an additional audio of Fu-Kiau at the end of the post. Enjoy!






Part 1 of 8. Watch entire lecture on youtube.

"Nkondi is a like a diploma given to nganga, a specialist who deals with social issues"






                                 "The Kongo cosmogram is the foundation of Kongo society"





NB: For some reason I cannot see the MP3 audio player using the Firefox browser. It works with my primary browser, Safari. You can also listen to the audio by clicking on the source below.
