Nicomedes Santa Cruz Gamarra (June 4, 1925 – February 5, 1992) was a Peruvian singer, songwriter, and musicologist. He was primarily a decimista, a singer of décimas. He researched most forms of Afro-Peruvian music and dance, becoming the leading ethnomusicologist in Peru.

He assumed the task of reviving Afro-Peruvian folklore through a theater company he organized with his sister Victoria Santa Cruz (1959–61), through radio broadcasts, and his collaborations in the daily newspapers Expreso and El Comercio as well as other publications. In 1959, with his group Conjunto Cumanana, he recorded the album Kumanana, followed in 1960 by Ingá and Décimas y poemas Afroperuanos. In 1964 he recorded a four-album set, Cumanana. In 1967 he attended the Canción Protesta Encuentro in Cuba and recorded his poem “Benny ‘Kid’ Paret, which was issued on the album Canción Protesta.

He made his theater debut in 1957 at the Teatro Municipal de Chile, with the company Pancho Fierro, in a show called Black Rhythms of Peru. He ventured into journalism, radio, and television. During his travels, he continued to participate in events promoting Afro-Peruvian folklore, notably his address at the first Black Arts Festival, held in Cañete, in August 1971. In 1974 he traveled for the first time to Africa, where in Dakar he participated in the symposium “Négritude et Amérique Latine” with his lecture “Aportes de las civilizaciones africanas al folklore del Peru”. He traveled to Cuba and México, participating in a series of television programs, as well as later trips to Japan (1976), Colombia (1978), Cuba, and Canción Protesta Encuentro (1967), Cuba (1979), Panama (1980).

In 1980 he moved to Madrid, where he lived until his death, working as a journalist at Radio Exterior de España. In 1987 he began collaborating in preparing a series of LP record albums called Espana en su Folklore, a collection of songbooks from Spain and America. In 1989 he taught a seminar on African culture in Santo Domingo and the following year participated in the expedition Adventure 92, touring ports in Mexico and Central America. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

15 Best Restaurants That Have Vegan Options (in the world)

Veganism is a lifestyle choice that eliminates animal products from one’s diet and lifestyle. This includes all animal-derived foods such as eggs, dairy, honey, and gelatin, as well as clothing and personal care products that are made from animal products or tested on animals.

People often choose vegan restaurants for ethical and environmental reasons. Eating vegan reduces the demand for animal products, which in turn reduces the number of animals raised and slaughtered for food. Additionally, veganism is an environmentally friendly choice as plant-based diets require fewer resources to produce than animal-based diets.

Eating at vegan restaurants can also be beneficial for your health. Eating plant-based meals regularly can help you get the nutrients you need without the cholesterol and saturated fat found in animal products. Additionally, vegan meals tend to be lower in calories than animal-based meals, making them a great choice for those looking to lose weight.

Some of the most popular vegan restaurants around the world include By Chloe in New York City, Veggie Grill in Los Angeles, and Mana Food Bar in Chicago.

Additionally, in Europe, popular vegan restaurants include Cloud Cakes in London and Green Rabbit in Paris.

In Asia, popular vegan restaurants include VeganBurg in Singapore and Loving Hut in Taiwan.

In South America, popular vegan restaurants include Vegans of Buenos Aires in Argentina and Vegarte in Peru.

Lastly, in Australia, popular vegan restaurants include Vegie Bar in Melbourne and Gigi Pizzeria in Sydney.

Asia is home to many vegan restaurants, from small local spots to large chains. Some of the most popular vegan restaurants in Asia include Loving Hut in Taiwan, VeganBurg in Singapore, and Veg Out in Hong Kong. Additionally, popular vegan restaurants in Asia include Souley Vegan in Japan, Loving Hut in Thailand, and Fauna in India.

South America is home to many vegan restaurants, from small local spots to large chains. Some of the most popular vegan restaurants in South America include Vegans of Buenos Aires in Argentina, Vegarte in Peru, and Greenbox in Brazil. Additionally, popular vegan restaurants in South America include Nirvana in Chile, La Yuca in Colombia, and Amor Vegetal in Venezuela.

Africa is home to many vegan restaurants, from small local spots to large chains. Some of the most popular vegan restaurants in Africa include Plant Junkies in Johannesburg, The Living Food Kitchen in Cape Town, and Revolution Kitchen in Cairo. Additionally, popular vegan restaurants in Africa include Soul Green in Lagos, The Black Herbivore in Dakar, and The Vegan Table in Nairobi.

The surge in veganism has reached incredible heights, from the renowned Michelin Star restaurant in New York City going completely plant-based to Burger King’s vegan franchises. Businesses have picked up on this trend and the potential it holds, and we are all for it! A survey from Cornell University reports that one out of every 10 Americans do not consume meat. However, vegan restaurants are not only for vegans and vegetarians. For all the food-lovers and globetrotters, we’ve compiled a list of the top vegan eateries around the globe. The quality of their dishes is remarkable, even surpassing that of Foie Gras and caviar.

The restaurant KLE traces its roots back to the German Sauerklee, a plant with a long history. Local ingredients are used to make mouth-watering dishes, and the Spanish-born chef Zineb Hattab adds her own twist by combining Moroccan and Mexican flavours.

KLE is not only a one Michelin Star restaurant, but has also been awarded the prestigious Michelin Green Star for their commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices, such as not serving animal products and using organic produce.

Everyone can enjoy the amazing quality and flavour of their vegan-friendly dishes, complemented by a 100% vegan wine list. In a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, visitors can savour dishes such as Panna pistachio ravioli and violet and orange blossom meringue for dessert.

Joia has been at the forefront of plant-based dining since its inception in 1989, with 80% of its menu now being vegan. In 1996, it was the first vegetarian European restaurant to be honoured with a Michelin Star and recently won a Michelin Green Star.

Chef Pietro Leemann creates dishes through a careful process of experimentation and exploration, while opting to leave out all meat and restrict animal products such as dairy and eggs to a maximum of 20% of his recipes.

The restaurant also puts a strong emphasis on eco-friendliness and sustainability, with customer health being a priority. Joia avoids using heavily processed items, such as gluten and sugar, in its dishes.

It’s no surprise that Vegan Beat is so highly-rated by both locals and travelers! With a Tripadvisor Travelers Choice Award for 2022 and top ratings from Happy Cow and Google, this vegan street food restaurant offers a unique fusion of Mediterranean and cross-cultural cuisine.

Their signature side dish – spiralized potatoes with beet sauce – is the talk of the town, and the menu also features mouthwatering options like sweet potato burgers and mushroom gyros.

Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is casual, so vegans and meat-eaters alike come back to Vegan Beat again and again!

Reading reviews of vegan restaurants is a great way to get an idea of what to expect before you visit. You can read reviews on sites such as Yelp and Google, or you can read reviews on vegan restaurant review sites such as HappyCow. Additionally, you can ask your friends and family for their opinion on vegan restaurants they have visited.

If you’re looking for resources to help you learn how to cook vegan-friendly food, there are plenty of options. You can find vegan cookbooks, vegan cooking classes, and vegan cooking websites that offer recipes, tips, and advice. Additionally, you can find vegan-friendly meal delivery services that offer pre-made vegan meals.

Giordano Pacheco abandona el Dakar 2022: Luego de caída, logró terminar la Etapa 8 pero su moto no fue autorizada para largar mañana

El Dakar 2022 del piloto colombiano Giordano Pacheco se ha terminado. Lamentablemente, Giordano sufrió una caída en el kilómetro 30 de la especial de hoy y dañó severamente la moto. El colombiano consiguió reemprender la marcha y terminar la especial, en la posición 66, esperando reparar en la noche en el campamento de Wadi Ad Dawasir. Pero los comisarios de ASO y FIM no lo autorizaron a largar la especial de mañana por los daños que presentaba la motocicleta, con lo que está obligado a abandonar.

“Malas noticias para mí, lamentablemente en el kilómetro 30 tuve una caída muy fuerte donde estropeé mucho la moto. Se rompió un amortiguador delantero. Logré terminar la etapa con la moto en ese estado, pues pensé que iba a poder repararla en el campamento. Pero los oficiales no me permitieron largar mañana con la moto en ese estado, así que quedo fuera del Dakar” comentó Giordano Pacheco en el bivouac. 

“Yo estoy bien, tengo el hombro un poco dolorido. No creo que haya fractura, pero me duele. Como pude terminar la etapa creo que es algo relacionado a los ligamentos, así que mañana me iré a revisar el brazo” señaló Pacheco sobre cómo se siente después de la caída.

“Necesito unas piezas que no logro conseguir y la moto no es segura para participar mañana, así que estoy fuera del Dakar. El amortiguador no lo conseguí tampoco, me quieren cobrar muy caro por uno y no tengo ese dinero”  concluyó Giordano Pacheco. “Esto sería todo para mí en esta edición del Dakar. Logré terminar la etapa, no me fue mal, pensando en que podría arreglar la moto acá, pero es imposible. Para el próximo año será”.

El colombiano Giordano Pacheco se encontraba P64 en la clasificación general hasta la octava etapa y se ubicaba P11 en la categoría Originals by Motul (Malle Moto, Maratón).

b r a i d s • did you know that slaves used braids to relay messages? In South-American countries such as Colombia, African slaves used cornrows to escape their plantations. Braids have always been a facet of African beauty, no doubt. That is why it is unacceptable when white people wear it as a «trend» or to seem «cool». Appreciate culture instead of appropriating it. Sometimes, it is more than just hair. wwww.senegalesetwisted.com

El colombiano Giordano Pacheco ya piensa en la segunda semana del Dakar 2022: “Es un rally complicado, con mucho frío y agotador. Se viene una segunda parte de Dakar mucho más dura”

El piloto colombiano radicado en Chile Giordano Pacheco logró superar una difícil primera semana en el Dakar 2022 donde debió enfrentar la dureza de la carrera en la desafiante categoría Malles Moto (Originals) para pilotos sin asistencia. Particularmente difícil fue la Etapa 4, donde sufrió problemas con el radiador de la KTM y debió reparar con mucho esfuerzo en el bivouac. Afortunadamente, después de una noche muy corta, logró culminar las siguientes etapas y seguir adelante en la carrera.

La Etapa 6 fue recortada al kilómetro 101 después de que los pilotos opinaran que la ruta estaba muy cambiada por el paso de autos y camiones en el día anterior y decidieran conversar con la organización, cancelaron lo que quedaba de especial. El roadbook indicaba pocos de los peligros que estaban en la ruta.

“Hoy la etapa estaba muy linda, es una lástima que la hayan recortado. Al pasar los autos, camiones y UTV ayer por este trayecto, cambió totalmente la hoja de ruta, porque los peligros aumentaron debido a las huellas de los camiones y al trazado roto. Entonces, solo fueron 100 kilómetros de especial. Aun así, llegamos a esta esperadísima jornada de descanso. Vine a un hotel a bañarme, a cambiarme y a descansar bien para recuperar fuerzas” comentó Giordano Pacheco después de terminar una primera semana intensa en el Dakar 2022.

“En el día de descanso aprovecharemos para trabajar en la moto y dejarla en perfectas condiciones para las siguientes seis etapas” detalló Pacheco.

“Es un rally complicado, con mucho frío y agotador. Se viene una segunda parte de Dakar mucho más dura” concluyó el colombiano radicado en Chile.

La actividad del Dakar 2022 en cuanto a especiales cronometradas se reanuda el domingo 9 con 407 kilómetros en la Etapa 7 de Riyadh a Al Dawadimi.

On last week's show we shared some of our favorites of salsa artists from the 60s, 70s, and beyond! With Latinx/Latine Heritage Month taking place now, we wanted to highlight this genre that originated in Caribbean and Latin American communities across many countries, including in the US, and quickly became popular internationally, especially in West and Central Africa. La Lupe aka La Yiyiyi aka La Reina de la Canción Latina aka The Queen of Latin Soul (pictured above) was an Afro-Cuban artist born in Santiago de Cuba. She became a well-known performer in Havana before moving to New York in the early 60s, where she released more than 20 albums (at least 5 gold albums) and worked with artists like Mongo Santamaría and Tito Puente. She had a huge repertoire that included salsa and so much more. For example, on her 1969 album "La Lupe Es La Reina", you can hear her classic bolero "Puro Teatro", an Afro-Cuban bembé celebrating her Santería faith "Guaguancó Bembe", and a cover of "That's The Way It's Gonna Be" written by protest/folk singers Phil Ochs and Bob Gibson. Talk about range! La Lupe was a daring artist whose music challenged expectations of her day, but she stood her ground and blazed her own trail ❤ Full Playlist: *Orquesta Revé "Ruñidera" [CUBA] *Pete Rodriguez "I Like It (I Like It Like That)" [USA/PUERTO RICO] *La Lupe "Puro Teatro" [CUBA] *Celia & Johnny "Quimbara" [CUBA/DOMINICAN REPUBLIC] *Johnny Pacheco "El Diablo" [DOMINICAN REPUBLIC/USA] *Rodolfo y su Tipica "La Colegiala" [COLOMBIA] *Grupo Niche "Cali Pachanguero" [COLOMBIA] *Joe Arroyo "Inocente" [COLOMBIA] *Sophy "Desordenados" [PUERTO RICO] *Yumuri y sus Hermanos "Mi Salsa Tiene Candela" [CUBA] *Celina y Reutilio "Santa Bárbara (Viva Changó)" [CUBA] *Mon Rivera y su Orquesta "Lluvia con nieve" [PUERTO RICO] *Pupi Legarreta "El Platanal de Bartolo" [CUBA] *Fruko y sus Tesos "Salsa na ma" [COLOMBIA] *Boncana "Descarga Boncana" [MALI] *Star Band de Dakar "Guajira Ven" [SENEGAL] *Gnonnas Pedro & His Dadjes Band "Azo N'Kplon Doun Nde (El Toro)" [BENIN] *Laba Sosseh "Diamoule Mawo" [GAMBIA] *José Missamou "Son sabrosito" [CONGO] #lalupe #queenoflatinsoul (at KCSB-FM 91.9 in Santa Barbara) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTfF34KJsk/?utm_medium=tumblr
