Beginnings...

So, here we go. A brief post about what i am trying to do here. In what is already a crowded blogosphere starting another one may seem self-indulgent. But at African Bambataa, i am going to attempt to do something a little different: write about Tanzanian 'Policulture' in an intelligent, non-patronizing way. What do i mean by Policulture? Basically i am going to bring together politics and culture in one space of conversation. I am going to talk about my five loves: music, literature, woody allen movies, politics and football. I am going to be honest and truthful, celebrate what is worthy of being applauded and provide constructive critiques when it is warranted. Welcome and enjoy!
