Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The wealth of sublime music produced in Ethiopia in the 1970s (before a military junta stopped the party) seems to have no end.
Here we are on volume 24 with at least a dozen more CDs promised. But who's complaining? For the already converted it's more of the fragrant same. And for the newcomer it's a chance to journey into a sinuous and sensuous realm where jazz, funk and soul were something else altogether. Does the Ayalew Mesfin track sound a little like early Roxy Music, or is it just me?
