FOR THE BEAT OF MY HEART

DANCE TO THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART

In Northern  Africa, where begin the Sahara desert and its sands, Sudan continues to offer the aspect of a war-torn country. Diplomats, warriors, extremists still fight to find out a way out to this lengthy trouble. But, so far, blood and sand are the answer to these uneasy times linked to apparently impossible dreams. But, in America, a Sudan woman keeps telling  another story.

Politics by the way has its up and downs. On the other side, art such as music , paintings and even life style continue to achieve a sort of untelling way to make it. Stiletto has the physical aspect of Sudan, because  her skin tone, profile and  until to this  childish smile of hers refer to Africa and its unexplored mysteries. I ran into her by  Greenwich Village, at twiliight. She offered  the image of the Nubian girl who use to  fetch water in the nearby well.   However she looked   like a queen at the Manhattan dusk

I asked her if she minded to be photographied  for  our blog (Globeadventureshorizonsblogpost.com). Stilletto paused a while and agreed. As a result, I got four and more shots you can watch here. Stilletto, like a lot of Africans, feel  comfortable  themselves, their clothes and tatoes, left alone those boubou wrapped around with so much grace and elegance. Surprising Africa. !

Compared to a lot of countries defining themselves by weapons and PNB, Africa  used to shape an identity of her own through singing, dancing and drumming.  I’ve  learned  that day Stilletto had to dance for Rolls Royce, the 2014 version with a built-in system of sounds. I went to a nearby place, two days later. Stilletto was there with another model dancing  at the beat of her dj machine for Rolls Royce.

Stilletto works as a part time model for famous companies back up by a husband who affirms himself through 18th century fashion. But, as she mentions in her business card,  the sounds resonate thouroughly to the heart, as  an enduring staccato. It was an irresistible one.  Life also is a matter of sounds and beat.  Stilletto was right when she was saying : Dance to the beat of your heart.

Back in past, I was thinking about the magic of drumming, the secret of  Africa future

Thank you Stilletto…
