FULL MOVIE

hi there! I just saw your tags on a reblog of a rambly thing of mine and-- you mention Nigerian queer film, do you have recs? ideally something with subtitles in English, but I'll make do with whatever's available.

Wikipedia has a sort of outdated list here and they actually have a lot of lists of queer media sorted by country, but I've only watched Rag Tag and We Don't Live Here Anymore because even more recent films like Ìfé are kind of hard to find I have no idea where I'd find Rag Tag today because I watched it in on a sketchy website in like 2016.

TIERS Nigeria's YouTube channel has a lot of documentaries and they also have the short film Hell or High Water and the webseries Everything In Between freely available which is why I've watched them but they only have auto captions.

For books I can recommend When We Speak of Nothing although this is more British Nigerian and Under the Udala Trees.

ÌFÉ - PRAYER FOR ODUDUWA (Para Merceditas) - Studio Live Session

A powerfully progressive synthesis of electronic sound and Afro-Caribbean language, ÌFÉ is a bold new musical project from Puerto Rico based African American drummer/producer/singer Otura Mun. Mun, an Ifá priest or Babalawo in the Yoruba religion, has been a vanguard artist in the Puerto Rican music scene since his arrival there in the late 1990's, producing critically acclaimed albums and songs for many of the islands most important musical voices. Hailed as an R&B slow burner, "House of Love (Ogbe Yekun)," ÌFÉ's second single is a ghostly, beckoning musical offering. Recorded live using improvised electronic instruments, ÌFÉ mixes Cuban Rumba with the digital sounds of Jamaican Dancehall, creating a musical space and expression altogether its own. At times tender, at other moments seductive and flirtatious, the song is an invitation / an offering to those forces that walk among us and a reminder that life is nothing if not a constant act of giving to receive. 

 Directed by Otura Mun and Luis R. Vidal Written: M. Underwood for Discos Ifá (ASCAP) ÌFÉ is... Director and Founder: Otura Mun Musicians: Rafael Maya, Beto Torrens, Kathy Cepeda, Anthony Sierra, and Jhan Lee Aponte Dancers: Jorvian Santana Ayala and Walian Sànchez

Te adoro eres única. Quédate un minuto más. Mucho vampiros tipo Dracula. Su mundo chiquito, nuestra un galaxia. Tu luz brillante, Jupiter.
