More Oumou
Just came across this lovely video I had to share with you. A stylish declaration of love…this time from Oumou Sangaré.

From Timbuktu to Oumou
Of course I managed to miss most of the 19th edition of the African Film Festival in Milano this year. I had only planned on picking up a copy of the catalogue and heading off when I found myself transfixed in front of a projection on a wall:
On arriving at the flat, and without knowing [...]
In 1981 a film was released
Not just any film but Umrao Jaan, one of my all time favourites. Originally based on a novel penned by Mirsa Hadi Ruswa , the heartbreakingly beautiful 1981 filmatisation by Muzaffar Ali is miles ahead of the 2006 remake starring Aishwarya Rai.

Fongkong fun
Perhaps it´s the Fonkong stunt they pulled that won me over.
Could it be the brainy and beautiful coloured range cover shot that speaks to me ?
I don´t know. I just Love Jozi….
German Football
