Bassekou Kouyate and his band Ngoni Ba made one of the best received African albums of 2009. "I Speak Fula", released in September followed the hugely successful 2007 Segu Blue album.

Through his music, Bassekou and his band have breathed new life into Ngoni playing.

The traditional string instrument made of wood or calabash with animal skin stretched across it was always played sitting down on stage.

Bassekou and his band changed that, strapping the Ngonis over their shoulders like guitars and bringing the instruments to the front of the stage.

Bassekou and Ngoni Ba headlined on Friday night at the Festival of the Desert.

We made contact with him on Saturday and he invited us to come to where he and his band were staying in Timbuktu to film an unplugged performance in the more traditional style.

Again, we found ourselves racing the setting sun, trying to get the performance recorded before the light failed us.

We borrowed his neighbour's rooftop and Bassekou Kouyate, his wife Amy Sacko, Calabash player Alou Coulibaly and Ngoni bassplayer Moussa Bah performed this beautiful version of "Jonkoloni" from the album Segu Blue.

Ghanaian cardinal Peter Turkson was considered Africa's main candidate for Pope.

In his country, however, many believe that Catholicism is under threat from the growing appeal of Pentecostal churches.

⁣The Lord's Passover Pantomime

Donald Trump tweeted that he will defund California schools that will include The Pulitzer Prize winning: 1619 Project, into their curriculum. The controversial project has received back-lash for "revisionist history," while Republicans work to retain "American History," as has been traditionally taught in schools.

I believe we are seeing prophecy unfold right before our eyes as Pharoah hardens his heart against the true people of Israel, the so called African Americans. Is it any coincidence that this project focuses on 400 years of black subjugation? Let's find out today. #400years #1619project #donaldtrumptweet

Edge of the Earth by Ashanda McCants

I'm standing at the edge of the earth
It hurts cause even though I was formed from the dirt
Chaos is covering the world and its stage
We're all being played, like an animal that's caged
Like a fiddle, I'm a little perturbed by the situation
My mind is tailspinning like I got a reservation
At a clinic, trying to find an explanation
Tired of the news telling lies on every station
Tired of the mask beyond the ones covering faces
Tired of the lies that leave us all in devastation
We're all in this together but can't touch one another
So I'm dropping these words to my sisters and my brothers
We don't know when we're going, we don't know what will be
The final curtain is prepared and the devil has to flee
Paranoia on here for ya is causing mass confusion
Everybody chasing something but the truth still eludes them
The truth still confuse them, blind leading the blind
Both ended up in ditches where the Pharoah made em grind
More bricks without straw, more straw without hay
Our soles are tired from the toiling but we're learning how to pray
And we're living for today because tomorrow and soon after
Isn't promised unto us so we try to live with laughter
We try to hug our children, try to feed them well
But the television wants to lead them all to hell
And I'm tired of the lies, and I'm tired of being tired
Cause all I see is war when the fire is on the line
And its getting to the point where I'm fighting for my faith
But I can't say that I am weak because this mask is on my face
And its' time to be a leader, before the Father weeds the lawn
And removes all of the cowards who are pretending to be strong
And before I keep on going I'll just say it is the truth
I don't want to be an Orpah, I would rather to be a Ruth
I would rather have the famine, I would rather work and toil
If it means my soul is faithful that I know I'll have a Boaz
And the husbandman is Jesus, Hebrew known as Yahusha
He will step into the dry land, He's prepared for Yasharal
Gathering His people from every part of the earth
I am standing on the edge but I know its for the work
I know that He'll insert Himself into this perferct storm
So my sisters and my brothers, He needs us to hold on
He needs you to be strong and trust in Him to move
When all is said and done everyone will know the truth
Receipts will be pulled and Egypt's gonna lose
So we're standing on the edge but the army is confused
And the sea is parting, we'll crossover dryshod
To the place that He will take us, so we can worship God

Testimony from TEOTW listeners about how they awoke to being Hebrew Israelites, and Gentiles awakening to the negro being the true Israelites.

Let's get this straight once and for all.

Read Rev ch 13

I share newly found info on the origins of the inhabitants of Seir.
Also, new info on iniquity is shared.

This is a study of the Appointed Times of Yahuah. In this study we are not looking at the feasts in the usual manner that we often hear being taught. No, in this study we look at how we can build Israel. We look at how ouir ancestors were to keep the feasts to the benefit of all of Israel. They are the times appointed by Yah to bring your money, for the building of His house, for the reedeming of our people, for taking care of the poor, for loving one another in more than just words. This is a BluePrint to how we today can start to bring oursleves, our families, our people, Israel out and gird oursleves up as a people against the days ahead of us and do it quickly.

⁣The Indignation: A Warning Before Judgment. The indignation is not
sudden anger or cruelty. It is righteous correction against sin", and
injustice that have filled the earth. Yet even in this moment, Yah’s
mercy is clearly seen, because He speaks first and gives instruction
before acting. Isaiah’s command to “enter your chambers and shut your
doors” shows Yah’s desire to protect the faithful. Obedience is the key
to safety, not location or strength. Just as in the days of Passover,
Noah, Lot, and Rahab, Yah always separates and shelters His people
before judgment falls. Those who listen are preserved, while those who
ignore the warning are left exposed. The house becomes a symbol of
covering, covenant, and trust in Yah’s word. Yah’s anger has a limit,
and His correction is never the end of the story. Scripture and the
Apocrypha both show that judgment passes, but mercy remains for the
righteous. Hidden sins are exposed, truth is revealed, and Yah makes a
clear distinction between those who fear Him and those who reject His
ways. Even during shaking, the righteous are guarded in His hand. Yah
promises restoration and renewal. He declares that He will do a new
thing, bringing His people out of hiding and into light, peace, and
purpose. The message of the video is clear and comforting: Yah warns
before He judges, He shelters before He corrects, and those who obey His
voice will come through the indignation and into restoration.

Are you a Job? Complain all you want, but bad things happen. Accept the good with the bad; and, most of all, always trust the Most High. Dramatic Reading (DR)

I Can Feel My Help Coming On! (Strong)

Psalm 124

If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may Israel say;
If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:
Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:
Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:
Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth.
Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Hebrews 13:5,6
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have:
for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Shabbat Shalom - Daniel 12:4 - ⁣But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”

⁣This WoW Story introduces a quiet and colorless community known as the Uhgs, a people who have lived without understanding the power of light within. As their journey unfolds, the Uhgs begin to discover what it truly means to have a light shining in their hearts—one that brings awareness, warmth, purpose, and transformation.
Through this allegorical tale, listeners are reminded that light is not merely something seen, but something received, nurtured, and carried. When awakened, it changes how a community sees itself, one another, and the path set before them.
Created for families and the Hebrew community, this story encourages reflection on inner awakening, truth revealed, and the responsibility that comes with walking in the light once it has been given.
