We have African influenced poetry in the #Caribbean, in Spanish it's known as "Poesía Negroide". One such classic poem describes a black woman who sways through the fiery streets of the Antilles, and then it goes on to describe our islands, the blood and sweat of the sugar cane harvest, the flower that one island is known for, and how the black woman is known in each island. In #Haiti Kreyol language they say that their women are sweet like molasses and pure honey. I'm thinking of commissioning a poet friend, to compose a poem in Spanish, inspired by a Haitian woman.

Omani J W Wrght, to you in particular, the most recent comment I have found: 'Do I understand absolutely this cry from the heart. So long suppressed/massacred by the self-serving human trait - which gave rise to Colonialism, (the tafficking for both enslaved labour in private plantations, AND, in the hideously large, ever-growing sex industry, this video, women's male testosterone so fired by injustice and the lack of respect for the power, the deep wisdom inherent in all awakened women,' called herself Peter. In lieu of 22 years of corruption and exploitation faced in Indonesia and Malaysia (cleaned out, blackmailed, retained in horrendous conditions in two detention centres - one for many weeks, then eventually released for a 10% of initial demands), in an ongoing attempt to retain freedom of speech - the right to protest injustice and corruption, so often forced to change my name on the WEB/NET, also totally fed up with bowing to pressure, desiring to press on at any cost, (my recent songs: music and lyrics, all improvised and stored in a private collection I've entitled 'In the Moment - From my Heart,' so inspired by this, my next song I'll name, or simply sign off here, 'Just Call Me Eve.' 😘

YASSSSS!!! This was STUNNING!!! They captured the pain, the survival, the sensuality, the hypnotism, the power, the strength, and the spirit of the song! I am almost never pleased when people cover this song, because they never do it justice. It was *not* a vocal showpiece to just do a bunch of runs or a performance piece to just dance around to. Nina EMBODIED all those women. And these ladies did a FANTASTIC job with it! One of the first Four Women covers I’ve seen that truly lives up to the live performances that Nina would do. All the ladies were absolutely stunning, in every way.

This song is brilliant. It captures the complexity of African American woman of different shades.

@@danicaloveshugs6494 in brazilian portuguese version song of Cruella de Vil it's sang "Cruella cruel" instead of Cruella de Vil, which literally means cruel Cruella (yeah as obvious as it appears). Cruella de Vil does make sense in portuguese too tho. I bet her name comes from some romantic language, perhaps italian? In any case this two languages have their similarities, and i guess "vil" is a word in both of them, meaning vile. But they choosed to change Cruella de Vil to Cruella cruel in brazilian version song to rhyme it. And i love it, i love how it sounds. I used to love the song as a child. That's why. "Cruela cruel, cruela cruel (Cruel Cruella, cruel Cruella) É mais traiçoeira que uma cascavel (It's more treacherous than a rattlesnake)" And here for you to understand how it rhymes you gonna need to hear it, because we pronounce this word way differently.

?? What's wrong with the audience? Why "sadly"? This is Nina's former band (mixed race). And no musician phoned it in. I'm not understanding why 'sadly' look at the audience. Music is a thread that ties us all together, from the depths of our being, The Self/Atman. That's beyond the mind, beyond thought, beyond the roles we're playing in this lifetime. It doesn't deny anyone's experience. Quite the opposite: it unites us in our shared experiences throughout the ages.

What a way to study diasporic African women's history by listening to this deep song. Lizz Wright! OMG what a beautiful and velvety voice. I am validated and lifted after listening. Authentic, truthful

Dianne Reeves is by far the best vocalist among these four singers.

Holy shit, I never underestimate how the African diaspora is leading other groups who seek to find their own voices. Thank you to Sheryl and Dianne for healing and educating me.

Very well expressed ladies! Sing, sing ,sing until you are understood. Tell it like it is and was!!! Tell the history of a people torn, beaten, mistaken, and forgotten in true history books! Tell it, and tell it again and again..but love anyways!! You (We )are a special people that The Good Lord made!!!

In my days at Yale, in the late Sixties, I was a radio personality and entertainer who had the good fortune to meet and introduce BB King, Donnie Hathaway, and the late great Nina Simone, an experience I will never forget. This song, so captures her essence both as a artist, social commentator, and independent committed black woman. I was sitting talking with my dear African American sister Felicia from Atlanta, when this song came on. It stopped our conversation in our tracks, we were glued to the screen, Felicia called this " Black Girl Magic." Amen, my sister. I had goose bumps and tears began to flow as I relived those times when songs like this captured and inspired our continued commitment to address the grievances of the past, not to be relived in the present, but we still have so much yet to do. I love me some Diane Reeves, and Nina's song and these incredible black women's performances that each reflect the various ways our women and thereby our culture has been violated, truly is outstanding and moving. I love each portrayal, but for me, when the second sister began to sing, her voice echoed the emotions and pain of a hundred years, and captured a vital part of our complex reality: "Between two worlds do I belong. My father was a rich white - he forced my mother late one night. " As the late great Nina Simone so eloquently put it: "Nuff Said!"
