I was fascinated by Miriam Makeba’s voice when I was a child, so much that I begged my mom to buy the Pata Pata album.
Here’s The Click Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-4U2hfMpnk
When in Africa last fall (Tanzania) we met with some Hadza people. They speak a click language. One of the folks we met, Kwaleche, tried to teach us some of their language, specifically the names of animals they hunt. I could make the sounds but not while saying the word. Like this Zulu the Hadza use clicks and pops, but also a back of the throat guttural sound. Kwaleche and his fellows had a very hearty laugh at our failure. We did too.
White smoke at the Vatican.
That was fast.
I’m a silent observer on a traditionalist email list, so I will know something about what that cohort think about the new pope by this evening.
I don’t recall a marching band being part of this event before. But perhaps I didn’t watch it live before.
Ed Martin’s been withdrawn from the DC DA posting, will go to main DOJ and a new DC attorney appointment will be made shortly. Hopefully Tillis gets the boot from North Carolinians.
Damian Thompson (@holysmoke) says conservatives are very afraid it’s Parolin.
