Afrobeat Journal

Afrobeat Journal The journal works in tandem with the New York Afro-Beat Festival (NYAF) to generate meaningful creative content from musicians, artists and scholars.

AfroBeat Journal is an interactive, on-line, multimedia journal that aims to link the scholarly and creative output of intellectuals and artists in the global African world. There are many journals that focus on the scholarship of Africans on the continent and in the diaspora, yet there is a visible absence of an on-line presence in the format envisioned. AfroBeat Journal seeks to encourage cross-

cultural dialogues via a virtual platform that brings together scholars, writers, musicians, and other artists using language and media immediately accessible to the global community. Each issue of the journal is devoted to a specific theme. Our first issue was published under the question, "What is AfroBeat?", while the second issue: "African Rhythms, Roots Culture" commemorated the legacy of jazz legend Randy Weston. Currently, we have an open call for scholarly papers and creative writings on the theme "Black Brazil." We encourage submissions that cross the divide between critical discourse and artistic creativity in a range of formats, including poetry, prose, visual, musical text and multimedia.

What a tremendous loss to the art world!!! Our hearts are broken to learn that our beloved Faith Ringgold () has passed. No words can truly capture what she has given the world through her work. How she loved us and spoke our names in every piece she created! Whew, this is a hard one y'all. Mama Ringgold, what you did and continue to do through us is not lost. We love you and thank you, until.

Rest in power, beloved. 🌹✨❇️🕊️💔
