Tribal Realities è su tumblr (in ITALIANO!) :-)

Ma scrivi solo in INGLESE???
Several people are  asking me to write in my native language which is Italiano because they cannot understand me in english. Thus I decided to crerate a tumblr page in ITALIANO!:-)

Diverse persone mi hanno chiesto di scrivere anche in italiano, e dunque ho deciso di creare un'altra emanazione di Tribal Realities. ;)
Potete leggermi in italiano su http://tribalrealities.tumblr.com/

Grazie. :D

MÉXICO FLAVORED RAP: Instituto del Habla

THE INSTITUTE OF SPEECH NOT ONLY TEACHES US
RAP AND CULTURE OF MEXICO,
BUT ALSO SHOWS HUMILITY, OPEN-MINDED-NESS,
AWARENESS, KNOWLEDGE OF THE ZAPATISTAS
AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE FIGHT

Thanks to my dear folks from the collective, multidirectional and bottom-up platform space  En Busca de Los Guerreros de la Paz I discovered a massive posse from Ecatepec México, delivering a powerful and consciousness-raising message through hiphop. The name is Instituto del Habla aka The Institute of Speech which, fueled by Emiliano Zapata, Ernesto Che Guevara and Malcom X, is starting a little big cultural revolution, shaking Mexico's mainstream media with genuine and indigenous wisdom.
Naturally, this led to a FIRE-interview published on the page of Tribal Realities Magazine VOL1 (2014): a joint effort with the extra-ordinary brothers of Enbuscadelos.
While you listen to their music here...
...you can read the original interview (spanish) here.
And the english version here.

This is A Message from The Mother: She Told Me to Tell My Brotha & Sista She Loves You.
I am tired of politics and one way-partisan view of the world and life in general.
I don't wanna be right. I just wanna Peace in this world.
I am tired of NO statement. I Just Wanna Say YES.
As a Man, I turn my eyes to Women and their unique Love Vibes.
In this Issue Seven of TRIBAL REALITIES I am working on such theme.
In every civilization, in every culture, in every language, in every life...
there is nothing stronger then the Love of a Mother for Her Child.
And I think we all gotta start again from the top.
And proceed through our lil' lives.
With Love.

TRIBAL REALITIES presents...Free West Papua!

I am writing TR6...
I've recently produced a video called Free West Papua because I want to tell you the story of Papuans and their struggle for freedom against the illegal occupation of their land by Indonesian government and big business as RioTinto and BP.
Why am I telling all this to you?
Because Papuans struggle for their lives, their lands, their civilizations is our struggle to preserve our civilization, our culture, our traditions, our REAL economies against that global corpocracy of FAKE economy, predation and greed.
Industrialized civilization forced us to think we are disconnected from everything else. Cogito ergo sum, I think therefore I am. They tell us to expand our minds and live our lives in a Cartesian way i.e. separating body from mind, matter from energy, black from white.
But we know the world is much more complex that that.
Indeed, everything is connected to "everything else".
We Are All Related: Mitakuye Oyasin.
Indeed, I exist because I am related to.
Body is Mind is Soul. Matter is Energy. Black is White.
Each country has its own culture & traditions.
We gotta go back to our roots, our traditions, our millenary way of life.
It is time we skip Cartesian approaches, elevate Our-Selves to Supramental Knowledge,
establishing dense connections to THAT "everything else"

We gotta learn from Papuans: a civilization highly integrated with THAT "everything else". A civilization wiser than the industrialized world.
This is why I am supporting the Papuans.
Visit www.freewestpapua.org for more info: December 1st is West Papua Independence Day!
On December 1st I am Raising my Freedom Flag. How about you?

Stay Tribal, Stay Real!

TR4 --> MOTHER EARTH -->TERRA MADRE/SlowFood@TURIN 2008

In TRIBAL REALITIES ISSUE FOUR I raised controversial issues such as Bio-Piracy, Genetic Modified Organisms (GMOs), Terminator Seed techs (V-GURT), Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) on life-forms and, through my artworks and excellent contributors I stated our Love for MOTHER EARTH...do u remember my massive Vandana Shiva quote?
In the end of October 2008 she was back to Italy to attend TERRA MADRE.
TERRA MADRE, organized every year by Slow Food in Torino (this is the ITALIA I like!) "brings together those players in the food chain who together support sustainable agriculture, fishing, and breeding with the goal of preserving taste and biodiversity".
Vandana Shiva participated in a panel where she discussed a new "Manifesto on Climate Change and the Future of Food Security". check it out...SHOW & PROVE YOUR TRIBAL REALITIES

Take a look at this article, too.
Plus, watch Vandana Shiva's interview (spanish/english)at TERRA MADRE 2008 (above).
Stay TRIBAL! Stay REAL!

Nel Numero Quattro di TR mi sono concentrato su argomenti controversi quali gli organismi geneticamente modificati (OGM), la tecnologia dei semi Terminator(V-GURT), il brevetto sulle forme di vita(TRIPs) e, in generale, la necessità di irradiare Amore verso Nostra Madre Terra. Vi ricordate la mia citazione di Vandana Shiva ? Bè, Lei è tornata in Italia, come vice-presidente di SlowFood per partecipare a TERRA MADRE (questa è l'ITALIA che me piace) e discutere il MANIFESTO SUL CAMBIAMENTO CLIMATICO E IL FUTURO DELLA SICUREZZA ALIMENTARE e firmate la petizione sul Futuro dei Semi!

Firmate le petizioni qui:
http://www.arsia.toscana.it/petizione/clima.aspx

Staveti Bene : )

You can talk de talk but will you walk de walk?

Politician can u make the right decision for all of us?
You can talk de talk but will you walk de walk?

While I am meeting my contributors,receiving feedback & suggestions,writing/Beta-testing this issue 5, US elections are taking place and Italy is in the midst of political conflicts over key issues such as education, economy and democracy. Therefore it came out naturally to listen to this lovely tune from a fresh reggae band called Kora...they are from Aotearoa (New Zealand) and they're definitely dub...wise! Enjoy the video (above)!

Your Friendly Neighborhood,
