Our Ancestors, Our Lives, & Ourselves: From Brazil to Fresh Catnip

Writes  (former) Liberal Arts Professor Felix Kaputu:

I’m in Brazil, about to undertake a comparative analysis of the Likumbi Lya Mize (from Zambia) and the Congado (from Brazil). Both are festivals that celebrate ancestors’ memories in specific conditions.  The Congado also seems to carry many remembrances of African rituals especially those from Angola, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
