Although filmed a few weeks ago, the publishing of this episode is unintentionally divinely aligned with the Ghana's resolution declaring the Transatlantic Trafficking of Enslaved Africans as the "Gravest Crime Against Humanity" being adopted by the UN.

In this episode, Sonya sits with DJ and Soundman Ajani for a thought provoking conversation on what it means and why it is necessary to decolonise spirituality and the place that music holds within that.

They explore how colonisation has misshaped perceptions of spirituality and the impact and significance its disregard has had on African and Indigenous cosmologies.

Ajani emphasises the importance of reconnecting with ancestral energies and how music can provide that bridge. His perspective reinforces the idea that spirituality is not just a belief system, but an embodied experience.

Sonya asks Ajani, "What song carries your foundational framework? How does it guide you to shift with what is no longer aligned?"

Ajani's answer to this question is, The Invasion - Burning Spear, so go and have a listen!
