debt it's basically a mafia model it's like uncle luigi i don't want to cast aspersions toward any ethnic group believe me abby but let's say that somebody is an organized criminal and they want to collect rent from somebody that they are. you know leaning on this is what america is doing to get these bonds paid for it sounds totally logical max and of course i'm sure in those corporate profits keep funneling in the region for the next couple decades speaking of china we all know about obama's asia pivot where he's putting all this military pressure on the region again leverage but if the u.s. is so indebted to china already does not automatically give china the upper hand in future. well i think what we're seeing in the region really is saudi arabia is really calling it in this kerfuffle going on now because they're very jealous that russia has almost a near monopoly on a pipeline from into europe and saudi arabia wants a pipeline into europe too and has to go through syria to get the pipeline established so they get their good friend america and israel to gang together and

when you travel from ethnic group to ethnic group, you will find that--let's say in nigeria with the yoruba, where they have a very tonal language-- they might say, hello "modupwe." so there's a lot of variation in tone-- many of their instruments and their drums, like the donno and the talking drums, they sound just the way they talk. you might hear "do-do do, do-do-do-do-do-do, do." in senegal, the wolof, the people of the mande cultures which is the sousou, malinke, the bambara-- they speak very fast. you might hear, "naga def," so you might hear, "bla ga da, mangi flec, blanka da, blankadi bla dah, bleat bla-bla-bla-bla-bla." so as you could see there's a direct connection with the spoken language, and what is being played, and how you express it on the drum. mandiani is a rhythm that comes out of the old malian empire. the drums and the instruments that they use for the rhythm mandiani come from the djembe orchestra. the djembe orchestra encompasses maybe two or three djembes, usually one principal musician and the bass. this is the djun-djun, and this is the song na. you have t
