This video for Raashan Ahmad left me wondering why I have never taken the train to Poland. It was recorded in Poznań, while Ahmad was on tour there recently.

Still working.
Time for Abdullah Ibrahim. Classic piece of video of him playing with long-time bandmember Carlos Ward. In 1984 in Communist Poland. 10 minute long clip of “Water from an Ancient Well” and “The Wedding.”
FILM EVENTS / ‘MY FATHER THE LUO’
November 6, 2009 By Leave a Comment
If you’re in New York City tonight, go see Polish director Tomasz Magierski’s documentary, “My Father the Luo.” The film revolves around Roma Ndolo, a young Kenyan-Polish woman and her attempts to connect to her father’s homeland. The film, judged on the trailer, above, also comments off the rise of a famous son of a Luo, Baracjk Obama, to the the American Presidency.
The film will be screened at the CUNY Graduate Center tonight.
