Fall Of The Moors – Kudjo & Cush Dey

What if the Moors weren’t defeated but instead chose to hand over power in 1492? Join us as Mikey Fever and Kudjo, along with our insightful guest Kush, challenge the conventional narrative surrounding the fall of the Moors. Together, we question historical assumptions and underscore the urgency of reclaiming Moorish identity, exploring how the shift in nationality led to new labels like Negro, Black, and African. This episode promises to open your eyes to a rich historical tapestry that extends far beyond the fall of Granada, urging listeners to engage with texts like “Layla, or the Siege of Granada” and “Dogs of God” for a deeper understanding.

Dive into the world of word magic and governmental strategies as we explore the King Alfred Plan and its implications for minority movements. The conversation takes a critical look at how language can manipulate perceptions, touching on the historic surveillance of African American leaders. We lay bare the need for awareness and unity in overcoming these challenges, and recommend pivotal readings to supplement your understanding of these complex issues. Our dialogue emphasizes the hidden power within books and the vital role of self-education in reconnecting with one’s heritage.

The exploration continues into the realms of national identity, cuisine, and spirituality. We reflect on the ties between food and heritage, pondering the absence of a unified Pan-African dish, while celebrating the rich tapestry of national dishes from the Americas and the Caribbean. In a spiritual twist, the episode delves into the mystical practices of the Moors and their lasting influence on contemporary spirituality, drawing upon Noble Drew Ali’s teachings. By the end, we illuminate the deep historical connections among ancient peoples, challenging stereotypes and urging a collective rediscovery of our roots.
