Culture shapes how we celebrate, learn and connect. On this page you'll find clear, readable stories about art, music, festivals, films and traditions that matter across Africa and beyond.
We publish short features, deep reads and practical guides. Expect profiles of artists, reviews of films and documentaries, festival roundups, and how-to pieces that help you take part in cultural events. Every article aims to explain why a story matters, not just what happened.
One recent piece explores a controversial documentary that claims Christopher Columbus had a different background than commonly believed. The article explains the film's DNA-based claim, notes expert caution about missing raw data, and lays out why the debate still matters for how we tell history.
Another feature is a practical Raksha Bandhan 2024 guide. It lists heartfelt wishes, short quotes, and ready-made social media status updates you can use to celebrate siblings on August 19. The guide also offers simple ideas to personalize the day, whether you’re sending a message from across the world or planning a small local gathering.
Both pieces show two things we focus on: clear facts and useful tips. One story digs into new evidence and expert pushback. The other gives you ready-to-use content and celebration ideas. You get context and action in each article.
Scan the headlines to find what interests you. Click a story to read the full piece, and use the tags to find related content — like film reviews, festival guides, or cultural history. If you want quick updates, use the share buttons to post an article to WhatsApp, Facebook, or Twitter.
If you work in culture — a curator, festival organiser, artist or teacher — this page is a practical resource. You can grab quotes for event blurbs, find images to inspire a program, or use our festival listings to plan visits. We welcome tips and guest ideas; send us a short note if you want to suggest a story.

A groundbreaking documentary, 'Columbus DNA: His True Origin,' suggests that iconic explorer Christopher Columbus was not the Italian navigator he's long believed to be, but rather of Spanish Jewish descent. Based on DNA analysis led by Professor Antonio Lorente, the film claims Columbus concealed his heritage amid pervasive anti-Semitism in Europe. Experts urge caution, citing the lack of raw data in the documentary.
