All we touch and all we see is all our lives will ever be. And we were lucky enough to weave our experience together with Kofi Meroe of @sankofabeer for this year’s @barrelandflow.

Our collaboration beer, Woven in Time, is an expressive and balanced dark ale brewed with millet and smoked maple syrup. In Ghana, where Kofi is from, millet is a common ingredient. And to approximate the smoky flavor of many Ghanaian dishes, he and our team used an ingredient found right here in New England: smoked maple syrup.

Tying it all together is the beer’s label, designed by the thoughtful and talented @rachelgloriaia, who’s based right here in Portland. You can find her artwork and murals on display across Maine and beyond.

Find Woven In Time at Barrel & Flow Fest, available on Tavour starting 8/20. Check out @barrelandflow for all the details.

In the period of African colonial independence the beacon country from Africa was Ghana, first to achieve independence in 1957. The new nation's most influential figure was its prime minister, later president, Kwame Nkrumah. When Nkrumah was born in 1910, Ghana was still the Gold Coast, a British colony known for its plantations and for being the world's largest producer of cocoa. Its frontiers were the result of bargains among the colonial powers -- Britain, France, and Germany -- that did not correspond to the historical boundaries of the kingdoms that preceded colonization, particularly the once-mighty Ashanti empire.

Nkrumah, who came from a modest, traditional family, received his early education at the hands of Catholic missionaries. He applied to universities in the United States, and studied at Lincoln University. In the USA, Nkrumah saw alternatives to the British tradition of government. He also became suffused with an acute consciousness of the politics of race relations. Unlike many new African leaders, who sought to emulate their European instructors, Nkrumah plunged into America's black communities. He forged ties with black American intellectuals, for whom Africa was becoming, in this time of political change, an area of extreme interest.

Returning to the Gold Coast in 1949, with the help of several associates, he set up a new party, the Convention People's Party (CPP), in the process demonstrating his supreme organizational abilities. He set his sights firmly on independence. No amount of autonomy or self-rule, he argued, could match the energy, commitment, and focus of a government and people in a truly independent country. Ghana's route to independence, became the model for the rest of the continent.

"SEEK YE FIRST THE POLITICAL KINGDOM, AND ALL ELSE SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU."

#BHM #swipeleft👈🏾 Musician and political activist Fela Kuti was born Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti on October 15, 1938, in Abeokuta, Nigeria. Kuti was the son of a Protestant minister, Reverend Ransome-Kuti. His mother, Funmilayo, was a political activist.

As a child, Kuti learned piano and drums and led his school choir. In the 1950s, Kuti told his parents that he was moving to London, England, to study medicine, but wound up attending the Trinity College of Music instead. While at Trinity, Kuti studied classical music and developed an awareness of American jazz.

Beginning in the 1960s, Fela Kuti pioneered his own unique style of music called "Afrobeat." Rebelling against oppressive regimes through his music came at a heavy cost. Kuti was arrested 200 times and endured numerous beatings, but continued to write political lyrics, producing 50 albums before he died on August 2, 1997, in Lagos, Nigeria.

"MUSIC IS A SPIRITUAL THING. YOU DON'T PLAY MUSIC. IF YOU PLAY WITH MUSIC YOU WILL DIE YOUNG. WHEN THE HIGHER FORCES GIVE YOU GIFT OF MUSICIANSHIP, IT MUST BE WELL USED FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY."

As a child, Kuti learned piano and drums and led his school choir. In the 1950s, Kuti told his parents that he was moving to London, England, to study medicine, but wound up attending the Trinity College of Music instead. While at Trinity, Kuti studied classical music and developed an awareness of American jazz.

Beginning in the 1960s, Fela Kuti pioneered his own unique style of music called "Afrobeat." Rebelling against oppressive regimes through his music came at a heavy cost. Kuti was arrested 200 times and endured numerous beatings, but continued to write political lyrics, producing 50 albums before he died on August 2, 1997, in Lagos, Nigeria.

"MUSIC IS A SPIRITUAL THING. YOU DON'T PLAY MUSIC. IF YOU PLAY WITH MUSIC YOU WILL DIE YOUNG. WHEN THE HIGHER FORCES GIVE YOU GIFT OF MUSICIANSHIP, IT MUST BE WELL USED FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY."
