The Scholar and the Skull
In this colored-pencil doodle, a scholar from medieval Mali contemplates the fossilized skull of a Homo habilis. I rather fancy the idea that people from ancient African civilizations may have occasionally chanced upon the remains of earlier hominins. What would they make of these beings, whose features appear intermediate between humans and other apes?
The perfect beverage to pair with fatty or fried foods for a light and flavorful balance is a well-known and refreshing ginger drink recipe from West Africa.

Nahawa Doumbia - La Grande Cantatrice Malienne Vol 3
I just love everything about this - Nahawa’s voice, the n'goni playing, the rhythms, just everything.
Rest in Peace to the wonderful Malian legend Toumani Diabaté, the king of kora 🇲🇱👑🖤
You will be so missed.

Thought of a casual look for her, based off Malian dresses and patterns!

Some super laid-back African grooves on here, loose percussion, swirling organs and sharp tasty guitar licks. Nice. -Kris
Queen Kassi was the wife of the Malian Mansa Suleyman (r. 1341-1360 AD), who like most Malian queens would have shared power with her husband. Although Kassi enjoyed substantial popularity with the nobility of the royal court, her husband divorced her to pursue a relationship and then marriage with a commoner named Bendjou. Understandably incensed by both her loss of power and her husband’s infidelity, Kassi and her supporters instigated a civil war by revolting around 1352, although Suleyman and his faction ended up winning. It goes to show you, however, that hell hath no wrath like a spouse scorned (or cheated on).
