Lions will roar, swans will fly, angels will wrestle heaven, rains will break




I'm back from my awesome trip to Brooklyn (thanks Petra!) and realized that an inspiring dancer I just found about lives and performs there. Nora Chipaumire was born in Zimbabwe during the Chimurenga Chechipiri, or second war of liberation and portrays her life, struggles and response to the war through choreography and dance. This clip is from the movie Nora which was released in 2008. I can't find out where to watch or rent this movie but the clips are beautiful, strong and inspiring.
If anyone finds out let me know!

Asa-- "Jailer" [video]

I can't get enough of this song, and the video is beautiful. "Jailer" is by one of my favorite young songwriters, Asa (pronounced Asha). Thanks to DJ C Boogie, I recently discovered her 2010 album Beautiful Imperfection.
