Walked to our supermarket shortly before sunset. The color was gone by the time I was returning from the brief visit.

!!! According to news reports, he was convicted on the basis of IG posts and a song. Miami jury took less than 2 hours to convict. He faces up to 15 years.

Their quasi-incoherent staccato truncated style is a tic of power and arrogance. It says, “I’m so busy and so important that I have no time to compose sentences, it’s your job to decipher my utterances.”

The bones on which the beauty of our community is built are being revealed as each day more of gorgeous clothes fall to the ground.

The US military buildup in the Caribbean is aimed at ousting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, but also at cutting off the flow of Venezuelan oil to Cuba in order to fulfill the Republican right’s decades-long dream of collapsing the Cuban government. foreignpolicy.com/2025/11/03/m...

This is just a staggering number - truly incomprehensible. Hundreds of thousands of children dead because a fucking Afrikaner dismantled USAID.

Postmambo was in Morocco, where we Shazamed this: 3 Afos Il Berad by Ahouzar www.shazam.com/track/312595...

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Postmambo was in the Sahara. These, my friend, are camel tracks.

At sunrise, Postmambo is en route to Casablanca.

I had to post it

Postmambo is in Essaouira, with the group Ahwach Haha, Amazigh musicians who have come in 70 kilometers from their village for the occasion. Instrumentation is 3 flutes, three frame drums, and a gang of footstomps and handclaps. No singing, just stomping. Photo: Steve Coats.

The subway on Halloween night is one of the greatest things about NYC.

Postmambo is in Essaouira, the ancient port of Mogador, where there are . . . camels on the beach.

Between banning books, non-white people, genders, immigrants, comedians, journalism… And then pushing AI which just regurgitates new ideas… America is headed into a deep cultural recession. This place is bleak and getting increasingly boring.

“Culichi metal is the fucking best.”

Postmambo is in Marrakech, listening to Sakhi Abdelghani, oud, and Youssef Tamsamani, darbouka, playing Abdelhalim Hafiz’s song “Qariat Al Fingan (reader of cups),” as in reading fortunes from cups. At the Paella House restaurant, where it is early and the crowd hasn’t arrived.

Postmambo is in Ouarzazate. This is the tazerzit, the fibula that is an identity symbol of the Imazighen (who reject the imposed name of Berbers), surrounded by elements of their ancient alphabet, called Tifinaght, in their language Tamazight.

I've had to update the plot of the strongest tropical cyclones by ocean basin all too often in recent years, since climate change increases the number of high-end storms. Melissa has joined the club, tied with Dorian (2019) as strongest Atlantic hurricane recorded outside the Gulf of Mexico.

Cuba is going to need a LOT of mutual aid after Melissa hits - and it's far more difficult to get it to people on the ground there than in other parts of the world because of the US embargo. It has to be done carefully & by people who understand how to get around restrictions 🧵

Murdering random civilians in the southern Caribbean while the northern Caribbean is facing one of the biggest hurricanes in history is so fucking vile

"Imagine the burden of [being] an icon of your country's folk tradition. That is the mantle that Carlos Vives carries for Colombia. During his turn behind the Tiny Desk, he takes on the role with a sense of pride and musical mastery." Carlos Vives — Tiny Desk Concert: www.npr.org/2025/09/22/g...

Postmambo is in the Sahara. At sunrise.

Postmambo is in Midelt. This is Lahcen Ait Akkoub, an Amazigh musician, playing the ottar. Sitar in India, tar in Persia, ottar in North Africa, guitarra in Sevilla, git-tar in Nashville.

Unpopular position: dislike 'spooky season' very much. Mostly because of loathing horror movies and horror in any genre. Life is filled with sufficient horror as it is. The exception is Halloween cats -- I do love them!

Postmambo is still in the Middle Atlas Mountains.
