Mallika Lovell and today on body Alicia Poggi radio are one of a kind African poetry, podcasting, fretful way. Feature Zambian poet Judy Walmsley with her vibrant poem simply entitled I Think I Can Dance I Think I Can dance Security under the mugume a tree No expert judges accolades for me but my sway and stands, causing appreciated glance from friends and family as I dance under the Mogo Mogo tree Nativity. Nostalgic memories playing pulsating beat inwardly thundering, hurriedly delaying, hurriedly delaying, foot stomping, body bobbing, majestic pumping waste. Twisting yes, as I dance under any tree Tara or flavour off coastal fever storeys and lessons enshrined in melody of sainthood and sensuality. Spoken music movements easy rhythmic yes, as I dance under the palm tree appreciation of mix and variation, rhythmic interpretation of beat song and dance combination. Yes, our cultures are distinct as our dance I'll beat when we stream the strings and thumped the drum one. Compared to just sit without invitation, our bodies obey and twist with perfection. Yes, as we dance under any tree, I enjoy this lyrical and Pacey delivery by Judy. Her voice is dancing, too, as she makes this offering in praise of indigenous African dance. Trudy grew up in Lusaka, Zambia, in a culturally mixed household, later moved back to Nairobi, Kenya, during its move Tow a multiparty state, which she says fuelled her patriotic spirit, A love for the arts for dance, painting, writing and stage performance in her formative years was a key in shaping this world view. Trudy describes herself intrinsically as a seeker, a lover of God ofthe truth, of authenticity and of inspiration. She holds a B A degree in communications from Day Star University, and her debut title off her anthology, is Changing Winds, which captures her poetic observations, angst and hopes. It's always a pleasure celebrating Pan African polity with you on board Alicia Poggi radio, and I hope you'll be Back for more.
