AFRICAN MEMORIES... Democratic Republic of Congo I see myself, a light-hearted, inquisitive eager young teenager aboard a military plane preparing to land in the newly appointed capital of Leopoldville, Kinshasa. First stop in Lagos; second stop in Accra; spongy heavy red earth, a blinding orange light, a caressing dampness, huge, hieratic and motionless birds... At long last, this is Kinshasa. Never ending boulevards; markets of rainbow hues; exotic fruits and vegetables never seen before; tapioca on every stall; fleshy flowers and plants, almost virile. People, always in motion or sat on the ground, drowsy and spellbound by the warmth. Ladies of a disturbing beauty, dressed like queens to my astonished eyes. Me, a fair-haired girl from Rome with a post-war conservative and austere inheritance, marvelling at

these

perspiring

majestic

bodies

of

ebony

with

headdresses

to

rival

the

Coliseum

architecture! Everything seemed to me to be in excess; a magical, confusingly overwhelming theatre of the absurd. 1

Matadi, the jungle, the river, the activity of the port which captivated me. ‘Ringo’, my pet chimpanzee who cycled everywhere, arms tight on my shoulders. 2

Mbote, hello! My grey parrot, Bubi, screeched the alarm each morning and pronounced words with a raspy sound which came from beyond the grave. It would let itself caress docilely and peck immediately as if to revenge for being treated the jester of our playground. Its endless daily repetitions of the popular radio song “Mobutu, Mobutu, 5 years, will stay in power 5 years, 5 years...” remains stuck in my head all these decades later. “La Pergola” restaurant, the “Memling” hotel; the young servants; the little girl my mother took under her wing because she had been abandoned by her family... We lived in a grand house on the boulevard Lumumba. For me, a young naive teenager who had never left her native Italy, the dark looks and broad smiles of women, men and children were almost hostile, too strong to cope with. I was scared! I was awestruck! It was a whole new reality for me, who had been so pampered. A reality whose mystery still remains unsolved today. What is the origin of the strength, of

the

splendid

nature,

of

the

appealing

and

inexplicable charm which evokes the word AFRICA? Maria Elena Cuomo

1 Matadi is a port in the Democratic republic of Congo which is also the capital of Bas-Congo province. Matadi is located on the left bank of the Congo river, halfway between the Atlantic ocean and the capital Kinshasa. The port serves as a major import and export point for the whole nation. Cargo ships harbor there and supply trains and trucks heading to Kinshasa. 2 Mbote means ‘Hello’ in Lingala language. Lingala is widely used in both Democratic Republic of Congo and Republic of Congo where it has become an official language, largely used in the media, in the army, in the administration as well as in popular culture. Alongside French, Kikongo, Swahili Tshiluba, Lingala is one of the four official languages in Democratic Republic of Congo.

Fulanis descended from nomads from both North Africa and from sub-Sahara Africa. Bravery and beauty are two notions which characterise their culture. Fulanis possess a distinctive type of face. Their facial tattoos are an unmistakable trait of tribal or family identification. Tall and with a natural elegance, they wear brightly coloured attire with pride, bodies adorned with elaborate jewellery. Their immense cultural diversity over different geographical regions share nevertheless some common aspects: a highly accentuated subjectivity and a firm adherence to their tradition.

SoudourÊ, Niger: Village situÊ dans l’Ouest du Niger, le long du fleuve Niger, au nord-ouest de la capitale Niamey, SoudourÊ est connue comme lieu de naissance de Hamani Diori, le 1er prÊsident du Niger indÊpendant. SoudourÊ is a village in western Niger. It is located along the Niger River northwest of the capital city, Niamey.

Saint-Louis, SĂŠnĂŠgal:

Saint Louis, ville situĂŠe au Nord-Ouest du SĂŠnĂŠgal, a ĂŠtĂŠ la capitale de l’Afrique occidentale française entre 1673 et 1902. Saint Louis est une ancienne ville coloniale oĂš l’on peut dĂŠcouvrir des crĂŠations architecturales datant du dĂŠbut du XIXème siècle. Saint-Louis is located in the northwest of Senegal, near the mouth of the River. It was the capital of the French colony of Senegal from 1673 until 1902 and French West Africa from 1895 until 1902, when the capital was moved to Dakar. From 1920 to 1957 it also served as the capital of the neighboring colony of Mauritania. It is an old colonial city retaining much of its early 19th century architecture.

Lumière, Couleur, Chaleur Une palette de couleurs, des plantes exubérantes, une chaleur écrasante qui fait danser les formes, des foules bigarrées toujours en mouvement, et par-dessus tout ce formidable élan de vie - un véritable et pur plaisir d’exister. La beauté des femmes à l'allure hautaine pleine de dignité, les fillettes aux cheveux épineux ou ébouriffés, aux sourires éclatants et aux regards malicieux, qui profitent des petites choses de la vie. AFRICA l'explosive, AFRICA la belle, AFRICA la mystérieuse, AFRICA lénifiante mais toujours vibrante !

Light, colours and warmth A Palette of Colours, the exuberant flowers and plants, a stifling suffocating heat that blurs the vision and transforms exotic shapes, rainbow crowds in perpetual movement, an impassioned impulse for life, a pure pleasure of existence. The beauty of women, imperious and full of dignity and their little girls with unique decorated hair, mischievous looks, dazzling smiles, making the most from the simple things in life. Africa Entrancing, Africa Beautiful, Africa Mysterious, Africa Explosive, AFRICAN VIBRATIONS. Maria Elena CUOMO
