valign="top"><p> </p><p>Born in Nairobi, Iddi Achien’g was introduced to music by her mother who sang around her as she went about her daily chores. Growing up in a musical family, with a brother who played guitar and piano and sisters who sang in the church choir, she was exposed to music both in church and at home. It wasn’t long before she too joined the youth choir.</p> <p>After school, while pursuing music and drama professionally, she met one of Kenya’s best renowned music producers and arrangers, Tabu Osusa. Impressed by her vocal prowess and stage command, he signed her onto the Nairobi City Ensemble as the lead and only female vocalist. Under his tutelage, she further sharpened her musical intellect.</p> <p>She kicked off her solo career by recording and releasing her debut album, Thim Lich, earning a nomination at the Kisima awards in the afro-fusion category. Iddi has toured and performed at festivals and shows worldwide. In October of 2007 she was in Oslo, Norway, for the World Music Festival, and the Bergen International Festival. Iddi has performed in Djibouti, Sweden, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda.</p> <p>Iddi sings in Luo, her mother tongue as well as other languages including Kiswahili, Luganda, Dinka, Arabic and English. She sites her musical influences as Angelique Kidjo, Dobet Gnahore, Haddy Njie, Ogoya Nengo and Baaba Maal, among others. A socially conscious artiste, through her music Iddi addresses social issues with emphasis on co- existence, love, peace, freedom, development of African women and a deeper understanding and appreciation of her culture.</p> <p>Currently in the process of recording her fifth album, Iddi Achien’g says her music style is termed as “afro-fusion contemporary benga” growing in popularity around the country and abroad. It is a fusion of traditional music interspersed with modern beats, styles and arrangements. The traditional instruments orutu, djembe, nyatiti always feature in her songs as heard on Thim Lich (the forest is an unpredictable place) It can be described as ‘A Truly Kenyan Sound’. Globalization is not all about economic standardisation. We should all make a pro active contribution to our diversity with an objective of appreciating the very best of one another’s culture.”</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><img alt="http://www.tangentlines.com.au/assets/AfricanMural_760.jpg" src="http://www.tangentlines.com.au/assets/AfricanMural_760.jpg" /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p> </td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-224555655022921219?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127633908759894579.post-14142704664433461052009-02-19T17:40:00.001-08:002009-02-19T17:49:42.194-08:00<table width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffff" border="1"><tbody><tr><td><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td valign="middle"><h1>Best of WaPi </h1></td> <td valign="middle" align="right"> <p class="style1">Pan Africa</p></td> </tr> </tbody></table></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td valign="top"> <table align="right" border="0"> <tbody><tr> <td><a href="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/images/large/Best-of-Wapi.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/images/medium/Best-of-Wapi.jpg" alt="Best of WaPi" align="right" border="0" height="200" /></a></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p class="size10italic">style</p> <p>afro / fusion</p> <p class="size10italic">festivals</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Sauti za Busara 2009</span></p> <p class="size10italic"> Feb 2009</p> <p> <a href="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/events.php?showdate=2009-02-14"> Sat 14</a>, 5:10pm Old Fort - Mambo Club<br /> </p> </td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><p> </p><p><strong>WaPi</strong> (Words and Pictures) is a monthly arts event organised by the British Council in Tanzania to provide a platform for new, raw creative talent from all art forms to perform and present to large audiences of young people.</p> <p>WaPi has a regular following in Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda and Nigeria and is now spreading to other African countries.</p> <p>At Sauti za Busara 2009, we proudly showcase “The Best of WaPi – Africa”, featuring:</p> <p><strong>Jonny Ragga </strong>(Ethiopia) From Addis Ababa, Jonny Ragga’s musical passion is reggae.

The group features minimal instruments including a hand-held Casio keyboard, a few drums, whistles and a battered old stool beaten with sticks for extra percussive flavour. Jagwa Music guarantees to set any concert venue ablaze with explosive performances that always keep the crowds jumping and bouncing from start to finish. Their stage show is awesome – a non-stop gymnastic workout choreographed with skill and sensitivity, combining theatrics, acrobatic prowess, no small amount of humour and more energy than an atom bomb.</p> <p>Song lyrics are embellished on the spot with spontaneous commentary, depending on what’s going on in the news and who’s around in the audience. Usually combined with witty observations about the daily struggles of survival in a world surrounded by injustice. For example, in <em>Shangazi Mbaya </em>(A Cruel Aunt), the singer comments:</p> <blockquote> <p><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">I did not want to say, but today I say it in the open<br />What aunt did to us<br />I will say in the open, the bad things she did to us,<br />Wanting to rob our inheritance,<br />Shamelessly she pretended not to know us in the court.<br />Aunt is cruel, but her plan did not work<br />God did not allow her<br />The court found out….<br />We have the right to inherit our late father’s wealth</span></p> </blockquote> <p>These days when you tune in to most local radio stations you can now hear a lot of Tanzanian music. So-called bongo flava, in Swahili language, but the rhythms and melody is more USA than EA. You never hear mchiriku on the radio, despite its popularity with the urban youth. Radio presenters allege this is because mchiriku was always considered to be kihuni – music for poor people and associated with drinking and bhang-smoking.</p> <p>For Jagwa Music, things look set to change. In October 2005 the group performed at the Sage Centre, Gateshead (UK) at the World Music Expo (WOMEX) where many delegates greatly appreciated the group’s refreshing energy and rawness, rarely seen these days in Europe where African music is often sanitized by the “world music” fashionmongers. The group is now receiving enquiries from festival promoters all around the globe and it’s looking like mchiriku music will finally gain the international recognition and respect that it always deserved.</p> <p>Jagwa Music &amp; Jahazi Media are currently working on a new recording for international release in summer 2009.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><ul class="module_bd_container" id="mbdcontainer_zA.1"><li class="module service" id="module_itemRecordGuid.4794011ab29624.37662850"><div id="mf_itemGuid.4794011ab29569.59919639" class="modfield description editable flexContent rte" rel="itemGuid.4794011ab29569.59919639"><p><img src="http://worldoneartists.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/African_Clyde_Shot_2_22x32Acrylics.19182115_std.jpg" style="width: 501px; height: 361px;" class="yssImg yssImgE" width="501" height="361" /><br /> African Clyde (22x32)Acrylics</p><p> ($450)</p><p> This is the case in the African series of oil paintings, some of which are exhibited here at worldoneartist.com.

In the early 1970s he moved to Kinshasha for secondary education. His vocal talents were recognized early and he worked in various Kinshasa bands like Bariza, Super Tukina, Super Bella Bella, and Saka Saka. Samba travelled east with other musicians in 1975. In Kampala, Uganda in 1976, they made their mark as Les Kinois (The Kinshasans). With Samba as lead singer, Les Kinois relocated to Nairobi in 1977 and took the music scene by storm. Samba formed his own band, the legendary Orchestra Virunga, in 1981.</p> <p>Virunga, named after a volcanic mountain range in central Africa, proved to be one of East Africa's most popular groups, Their music is an innovative mix of the best rumba and soukous from Congo, with the earthier Kenyan style. Samba composes and sings in both Lingala and Kiswahili. His astounding voice has been described as melting in the ears. His band Orchestra Virunga also receives high praise: "The telepathy that runs between the bass, drums and rhythmic guitar players of this outfit is jaw-dropping” (Ian Anderson, fROOTS).</p> <p>Orchestra Virunga played 23 concerts around UK in 1991, causing a terrific buzz. More recently Samba Mapangala has settled with his family in Washington DC, in USA. In 2000 Samba's presence at the Kenyan Jamhuri celebrations in London was one of the major highlights.</p> <p>His last time to perform in Tanzania was during May 2004 so the people of East Africa look forwards to February 2009 with great anticipation and excitement. Samba Mapangala’s music is timeless, sounding as fresh after the 100th hearing it as it did the first. His lyrics usually containing advice or social commentary are poignant, the melodies delightful, energetic and exuberant. In short, Samba Mapangala is one of East Africa’s best-loved musicians, with a series of hits over the past 25 years, including Virunga, Ahmed Sabit, Vunja Mifupa, Sungura, Vidonge, Dunia Tuna Pita, Nyama Choma and many more.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><img style="cursor: -moz-zoom-in;" alt="http://www.berlinwallpaper.com/Murals/NG/4-501.jpg" src="http://www.berlinwallpaper.com/Murals/NG/4-501.jpg" width="394" height="542" /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-2974132135512006724?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127633908759894579.post-72966704470655025602009-02-19T17:36:00.000-08:002009-02-19T17:53:48.389-08:00<table bgcolor="#ccffcc" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"></tr><tr valign="top"> <td valign="middle"><p align="center"> 2009 only / <a href="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/artists.php?whereSzByearlike=%25&amp;whereartistlike=Culture%20Musical%20Club">all years</a> </p></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td valign="top"> <table width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffff" border="1"> <tbody><tr> <td> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr valign="top"> <td valign="middle"> <h1>Culture Musical Club </h1></td> <td valign="middle" align="right"> <p class="style1">Zanzibar</p></td> </tr> </tbody></table></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td valign="top"> <table align="right" border="0"> <tbody><tr> <td><a href="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/images/large/2007%20Artists%20A-Z%20v4web_img_8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/images/medium/2007%20Artists%20A-Z%20v4web_img_8.jpg" alt="Culture Musical Club" align="right" border="0" height="200" /></a></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p class="size10italic">style</p> <p>taarab / traditional</p> <p class="size10italic">festivals</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Sauti za Busara 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009</span></p> <p class="size10italic">recordings</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><p>Taarab 4: The Music of Zanzibar – Culture Musical Club (1988, GlobeStyle), Spices of Zanzibar (1996, Network), Kidumbak Kalcha: Ng ’ambo – The Other Side of Zanzibar (1997, Dizim), Bashraf – Taarab Instrumentals from Zanzibar (2000, Dizim), Waridi – Parfums de Zanzibar (2003, Jahazi), Zanzibar – De l’âme à la danse / Zanzibar – Soul &amp; Rhythm (2003, Jahazi)</p></span></p> <p class="size10italic"> Feb 2009</p> <p> <a href="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/events.php?showdate=2009-02-12"> Thu 12</a>, 7:05pm Old Fort - Mambo Club<br /> </p> </td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><p> </p><p>Zanzibar, island of spices and meeting point of the trade winds...

With all this you have got the visual and sensual equivalents to the leisurely sound of Swahili taarab, itself the result of hundreds of years of exchange of musical and poetic ideas across the Indian Ocean. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Founded in 1958, the Culture Musical Club is Zanzibar’s premier taarab club. The orchestra performs widely at concerts in Zanzibar town, but also frequently travels overland with a fold-up stage and an electricity generator to bring its music to the rural areas. The club has released hundreds of songs on the local market and since 1988 they have had five releases on the international market. The group have been performing in Europe regularly since 1996, and in the past few years they have done shows in United States, Dominican Republic and Japan.</p> <p> </p> <p>Besides taarab, many club members are also active in kidumbak groups, smaller ensembles that play a more down-home, dance-focused music. Both types of music are now included in their shows, contrasting the serene sound of orchestral taarab to the festive and sexually charged dance that is kidumbak.</p> <p>The taarab orchestra includes three violins, qanun, oud, two accordions, double bass, dumbak, bongos and rika, plus singers and female chorus. The kidumbak side features three violins, sanduku (tea-chest bass), two kidumbak drums, cherewa (maracas) and mkwasa (claves), female chorus &amp; dancers.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><img alt="https://www.storesonlinepro.com/files/1886758/uploaded/African%20Voyage%201.jpg" src="https://www.storesonlinepro.com/files/1886758/uploaded/African%20Voyage%201.jpg" /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-7296670447065502560?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127633908759894579.post-12244597227870243442009-02-19T17:35:00.001-08:002009-02-19T17:56:11.271-08:00<table width="100%" bgcolor="#ffffff" border="1"><tbody><tr><td><table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td valign="middle"><h1>Bi Kidude </h1></td> <td valign="middle" align="right"> <p class="style1">Zanzibar</p></td> </tr> </tbody></table></td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td valign="top"> <table align="right" border="0"> <tbody><tr> <td><a href="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/images/large/Bi_Kidude_best_by_Bob_Sanko.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/images/medium/Bi_Kidude_best_by_Bob_Sanko.jpg" alt="Bi Kidude" align="right" border="0" height="200" /></a></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p class="size10italic">style</p> <p>taarab / traditional / ngoma</p> <p class="size10italic">festivals</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;">Sauti za Busara 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009</span></p> <p class="size10italic">website</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.asoldasmytongue.net/">www.asoldasmytongue.net</a></p></span></p> <p class="size10italic">recordings</p> <p><span style="font-size:85%;"><p>Zanzibar (Retroafric, 1995), Machozi ya Huba (Heartbeat, 2003), Zanzibara 4: Bi Kidude (Buda, 2006)</p></span></p> <p class="size10italic"> Feb 2009</p> <p> <a href="http://www.busaramusic.org/database/events.php?showdate=2009-02-14"> Sat 14</a>, 7:05pm Old Fort - Mambo Club<br /> </p> </td></tr> <tr> <td valign="top"><p> </p><p>Bi Kidude bint Baraka is Zanzibar’s most famous cultural ambassador and East Africa’s legendary barefoot diva of taarab and unyago traditional music.</p> <p>Bi Kidude’s exact date of birth is unknown, much of her life story is uncorroborated, giving her an almost mythical status. Kidude started out her musical career in the 1920s, and learnt many of her songs with Siti bint Saad. She has performed in countries all around Europe, Africa, Middle East and Japan and finally recorded her first solo album <i>Zanzibar</i> only ten years ago, whilst already in her mid-eighties. Having contributed tracks to many international compilations (on Retro-Afric, Piranha, Globestyle, Jahazi, even EMI/Virgin record labels), only recently did she release her own second locally-produced album (<i>Machozi ya Huba</i>, Heartbeat Records) with her traditional singing and drums influencing the burgeoning Zenji Flava local <i>hiphop</i> scene in one of the most remarkable juxtapositions of musical style in modern <i>world music</i>.</p> <p>As well as being East Africa’s most famous taarab singer, Bi Kidude performs traditional unyago music. In her 90s, she is still very much the island’s leading exponent of this ancient dance ritual, performed exclusively for teenage girls, which uses traditional rhythms to teach women to pleasure their husbands, while lecturing against the dangers of sexual abuse and oppression.</p> <p>In October 2005, Bi Kidude was presented with the World Music Expo (WOMEX) lifetime achievement award. Renowned African music expert Banning Eyre delivered a moving tribute, in which he informed delegates that <i>“the singer, well in her nineties yet still sporting a bone-crushing handshake, received the honours in recognition of her more than 80 years of singing and serving as a cultural mediator and advisor of the younger generations, including on matters of sex and marriage - a proper symbol of

With <b>An Afro-Portuguese Odyssey</b> I am yet again disappointed. Or am I? Once again I find myself recommending a CD that has managed to not only make its way into my musical rotation, but to stay there! </p><p>What connects all the selections on this CD is that the four countries represented -- Cape Verde, Angola, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique -- were all Portuguese colonies at one point in their history. Despite their distance from each other, these places are collectively known as "Palop <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006J9PK/rambles" target="_new"><img src="http://www.rambles.net/illustrations/putu_afroport02.jpg" vspace="9" align="left" hspace="9" /></a>countries." According to the promotional material, Palop stands for "Paises Africanos de Lingua Oficial Portuguesa, or African Countries with Portuguese as the Official Language." </p><p>The 13 tracks found here meld elements of African, Portuguese and Brazilian music. The styles displayed include Angolan semba and kizomba, Mozambican marrabenta, gumbe from Guinea-Bissau, and Cape Verdean morna and coladeira. </p><p>While all the tracks are worthy of mention in their own rights, one of the more memorable is the only track representing Mozambique. "Maldeyeni (In the Villages)" is about the simpler way of life in a small town verses the large city. The band, Mabulu, in interesting in that multiple generations are represented within the group. </p><p>Four artists/groups hail from Cape Verde. Having listened to Cesaria Evora for years, I find the style highly recognizable without looking at the song listings. The musicians showcased here are the Mendes Brothers, Agusto Cego, Leonel Almeida and Jovino Dos Santos. </p><p>The best song on <b>An Afro-Portuguese Odyssey</b> is, arguably, by Eneida Marta from Guinea-Bissau. On "Na Bu Mons (In Your Hands)," Eneida's sweet voice tells the story of a woman who has given everything to the man she loves, only to receive nothing in return. Rounding out Guinea-Bissau's musical repertoire are Manecas Costa, Bidinte, Dulce Neves and Ze' Manel. With five songs, this country (which I haven't heard much about) is the most represented. </p><p>Finally, Angola's musical styles are demonstrated by Paulo Flores, who has a solo track as well as guest vocals on a second track with Banda Maravilha. Ruy Mingas has an instrumental track, "Homenagem A 'Liceu' Vieira Dias (Homage to 'Liceu' Vieira Dias)" which consists of some very pretty guitar playing. In a way, it is almost jazzy. The strings are backed up by congas, a bamboo scraper and some light female vocalizations. </p><p>For those of you familiar with Putumayo, you will not be disappointed with <b>An Afro-Portuguese Odyssey</b>. For those of you who have yet to experience the genius behind some of the most expertly created compilation CDs of music from around the world, this CD would not be a bad place to start. While not the absolute best from their catalogue, this collection aptly demonstrates the care Putumayo puts into selecting the songs to release on each CD. Like I stated at the start of this review, I am still waiting to be disappointed by a Putumayo release.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-5174887945923781089?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127633908759894579.post-63693545157297787562009-02-19T16:55:00.001-08:002009-02-19T16:55:39.506-08:00<p> <img src="http://www.phototravels.net/venice/ivp/italy-venice-p-91.3.jpg" /></p> Close-up portrait of Carnival Mask in Venice, Italy<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-6369354515729778756?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127633908759894579.post-4517998864826348992009-02-19T16:50:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:52:36.887-08:00<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hgEw_oASIvw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hgEw_oASIvw&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/19BW3qXY_DI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/19BW3qXY_DI&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2ueoyIbwly0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2ueoyIbwly0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-451799886482634899?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127633908759894579.post-28366144409488474362009-02-19T16:48:00.000-08:002009-02-19T16:50:55.497-08:00<div class="post"> <a name="7485760408463267257"></a> <h3 class="post-title"> <a href="http://w-sahara.blogspot.com/2008/01/sahara-blues-refugee-music.html">Sahara blues: the refugee music</a> </h3> <div class="post-body"> <div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" >[<span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">picture:</span> aziza brahim]</span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7396/2479/1600/aziza-blog.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 291px;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7396/2479/1600/aziza-blog.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>One of the most fascinating features of the Western Saharan diaspora community is the way Sahrawi culture has taken off in the refugee camps, where the abnormal conditions of exile have developed an old heritage into something entirely new. Traditional culture, refitted to suit modern times and politics, has been strongly supported by Polisario as part of the <a href="http://w-sahara.blogspot.com/2007/08/interesting-essay-on-sahrawi-exile.html">nation-building process</a>, but it has also developed spontaneously. Nowhere is this more visible than in Sahrawi music.<br /><br />There exists a Hassani Bedouin musical tradition since hundreds of years, religiously themed and very similar to that in Mauritania.<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">*</span> But as with so much, in the case of Western Sahara, political circumstances (intense Spanish settler-colonization since the 1930s, the war and exodus of 1975, the exposure to Spanish and Algerian cultural influences since, as well as Polisario's conscious efforts to strengthen and mold a national culture, etc) have added new elements and made Sahrawi music branch off on its own path. The Hassani tribal and religious music has merged both with other Arab styles, like modern Algerian <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%AF">raï</a> -- in turn influenced by French jazz and chanson -- and with the musical traditions of the wider Spanish-speaking world, as well as modern Western pop. (See also this section on <a href="http://www.sandblast-arts.org/">Sandblast</a>.)<div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" >[<span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">picture:</span> tiris]</span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.londonisfree.com/Images/tiris.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 101px;" src="http://www.londonisfree.com/Images/tiris.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>This has created a fascinating synthesis of traditional Arab and Berber melodies and arrangements, pan-Arab, African, Western and Latin influences, and the modern genres of jazz, blues and rock, all fused in a nationalist cultural narrative. Long, slow tunes driven by guitar and song, sometimes with a funky slap base, make for similarities with the more well-known Saharan blues of <a href="http://www.tinariwen.com/">Tinariwen</a>, the <a href="http://w-sahara.blogspot.com/search/label/touareg">Touareg</a> nationalist band from Mali, while melodies tend to be sad, carried by electric-guitar loops and clapping. Lyrics in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hass%C4%81n%C4%ABya">Hassaniyya</a> can be religious, or based on traditional poetry, but also often deal with subjects like war, exile and loss, often against a background of pro-independence messages and freely mixed with Polisario sloganry.<br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204);font-family:arial;font-size:78%;" >[<span style="color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">picture: </span>mariem hassan]</span></div><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" ><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.eyefortalent.com/eft-media/Mariemcloseupcolor300dpi_7x4.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 248px; height: 171px;" src="http://www.eyefortalent.com/eft-media/Mariemcloseupcolor300dpi_7x4.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span></span></span></span></span></span>But enough history, here's a random sample of online Sahrawi music so you can see for yourself:<br /><ul><li>The awesome Sahrawi singer Aziza Brahim has a Spanish-language blog <a href="http://aziza-brahim.blogspot.com/">here</a>, where a good deal of her music is available for free; an older blog from her time with the Spanish jazz band Yaboyo is <a href="http://aziza-yayabo.blogspot.com/">here</a>. Even better, you can go to her <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendID=206280121">MySpace</a> page to find both music and a couple of videos of live performances. Start off with <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://aziza-yayabo.blogspot.com/2006/09/msica-de-aziza.html">Mulana</a>, a beautiful, low-key religious song where her voice gets full play.<br /></li></ul><ul><li>If Western Sahara has a superstar, it has to be <a href="http://www.worldmusiccentral.org/artists/artist_page.php?id=1120">Mariem Hassan</a>, also with a <a href="http://www.eyefortalent.com/ram/Mariem%20Hassan%20-%20Wadna.mp3.ram">tremendous voice</a>. A couple of songs can be downloaded <a href="http://www.eyefortalent.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/artist.detail/artist_id/49/">here</a>, and thanks to the tireless efforts of Sahrawi computerized youth everywhere, there's videos aplenty on <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=hgEw_oASIvw">YouTube</a>.<br /></li></ul><ul><li>Via Polisario Khat Achahid, you can download three beautiful MP3 tunes by Nayem Alal: <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://fpeluali.org/music/06.wma">Am Wara Am</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a href="http://fpeluali.org/music/04.wma"><span style="font-style: italic;">Layam layam layam, salam salam salam</span></a><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span>and <a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://fpeluali.org/music/01.wma">Tiris nabghiha</a> -- ("Year after year", "Days days days, peace peace peace" and "We long for Tiris".) More Nayem Alal tasters are found <a href="http://nayimalal.calabashmusic.com/">here</a>.</li></ul><ul><li>The band Tiris -- yes, same name, from a mountain range in Western Sahara -- also has a <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&amp;friendid=125557008">MySpace</a> page, with two songs for free listening: <span style="font-style: italic;">El Nabi</span> ("The Prophet") and <span style="font-style: italic;">Wadna </span>("Our <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadi">Wadi</a>").<br /></li></ul><ul><li>For older stuff, with some very explicit war-era songs about martyrdom and victory and things like that, there's a <a href="http://www.worldmusiccentral.org/article.php/20031004183122657">boxed collection of three CD:s</a> available from the record company <a href="http://www.nubenegra.com/">Nubenegra</a>.

He attended school in Sheikh in Somaliland and then graduated in biology at the Somali National University following which he was a teacher for several years. As a keen poet and literary scholar also he later worked at the Academy of Culture in Mogadishu and then as a lecturer in Somali literature at National University. From the 1970s onwards he has been one of the most important Somali poets composing on a great variety of topics from nuclear weapons to Nelson Mandela. He was also a poet who was not afraid to engage in the politics of Somalia through his poetry and he was the initiator of one of the largest 'chain poems' 'Deelley' to which many poets contributed each one alliterating in 'd' hence the name of the chain. In addition to his poetry composition Gaarriye was the person who first articulated the metrical patterns of Somali poetry which he published in 1976 in a number of articles in the national newspaper of the time. This work was invaluable and a major intellectual achievement.</p><p>Martin Orwin </p> <h4>Poems we've translated</h4> <ul><li><a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/single/29/Passing_Cloud">Passing Cloud</a></li><li><a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/single/66/Kudu">Kudu</a></li><li><a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/single/67/She">She</a></li><li><a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/single/69/Mandela">Mandela</a></li><li><a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/single/70/A_to_Z">A to Z</a></li><li><a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/single/109/Self-misunderstood">Self-misunderstood</a></li><li><a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/single/117/Seer_">Seer </a></li></ul> </div><!--/item--> </div><!--/col1--> <div id="col2"> <div id="secondaryContent"> <a name="secondarycontent"></a> <div id="firstBlock"> <h2>More</h2> <div> <p class="intro"> We have translated other poems written in <a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poems/index/language/Somali" title="Find other poems written in this language">Somali</a> and other poets from <a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/poets/index/country/Somaliland_Somalia" title="Find other poets from Somaliland/Somalia">Somaliland/Somalia</a>. </p> <p>The most recent media items featuring this poet are <a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/media/single/Audio/Self-misunderstood_read_by_Gaarriye_in_Somali" title="Self-misunderstood read by Gaarriye in Somali">Self-misunderstood read by Gaarriye in Somali</a> (audio), <a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/media/single/Video/W_N_Herbert_reads_his_translation_of_Seer" title="W N Herbert reads his translation of Seer">W N Herbert reads his translation of Seer</a> (video), and these images:<br /> <a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/media/427x0_9018921664999b9e92bc439.08870073.jpg" rel="lightbox[group]" class="thumbLink" title=""><img src="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/media/90x90_9018921664999b9e92bc439.08870073.jpg" alt="" title="Click to enlarge" width="90" height="90" /></a> <a href="http://www.poetrytranslation.org/media/427x0_1031360001491d3ecfcff055.62039868.jpg" rel="lightbox[group]" class="thumbLink" title="Martin Orwin, Gaarriye and W N Herbert take tea and field phone calls in the British Library.

style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><br /></p> <p class="articletext">After a half a century of separation, the Jews of the Middle East are finding their way home. After emigrating from Yemen, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, and North Africa, some are making their way back as sentimental tourists or pilgrims to the tombs of the saints and rabbis who had protected their families through countless generations but could not follow them to Palestine, America, Canada, or France. Those who cannot return on foot are returning through novels, memoirs, and even cookbooks. Scholars organize — and the scholarly attend — exhibits from this remembered or almost-remembered past, showcasing clothing and jewelry or synagogue and liturgical items from the Jewish Middle East of the 17th to the early 20th century. For the Jews of the Middle East, these are items that were shaped by a shared Middle Eastern culture, and that stand as signposts along a road that leads to who they are today. </p> <p class="articletext" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">These journeys back reveal a different kind of Diaspora. Jews had lived for well over a thousand years with a sacred rhetoric of exile, longing to return to their holy fatherland. Now, a generation after their “return,” Middle Eastern Jews are beginning to show a homesickness for their motherland, whether Baghdad or Essaouira. Thus the “return” to Palestine was simultaneously a reunion and a second exile, an exile from a Muslim culture in which Jews were deeply rooted, and which not only formed them, but which they helped to form. </p> <table style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;" width="35%"> <tbody><tr> <td class="pullout">"His Majesty Muhammed V, answered the Nazi commander who demanded a list of the Jews: 'We have no Jews in Morocco, only Moroccan citizens.'"</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p class="articletext">“Morocco: Jews, and Art in a Muslim Land” explores the causes and expression of this deep rootedness, including the richness and diversity of Jewish-Muslim interaction in Morocco as well as the differences that made Jews a distinct group. Because it is a catalogue of an exhibit (still running at the Jewish Museum of New York until February 11, 2001,) it is lavishly illustrated with items of Moroccan Jewish material culture, as well a few Orientalist paintings. But it is more than simply a catalogue, for it contains four scholarly articles on the political and social history of Moroccan Jews. </p> <p class="articletext">Daniel J. Shroeter (“Jewish Communities of Morocco, History and Identity”) explains the historical context of the Jews in Morocco with rich detail. A scholar of Moroccan Jewry, Shroeter’s article reminds us that although many Moroccan Jews trace their origins to Spain, there is a long history of “indigenous” Jewish Moroccans (“Toshavim” versus the Spanish/Sephardic “Megorashim”). By the 11th century, Marrakesh and Fez were densely Jewish. In fact, the Arab biographer al Bahri wrote of a local proverb “ <em>Fas bled bla nas’ </em>” (Fez is a town without people), meaning there were so many Jews that it was as if there were no Muslims at all. Nonetheless, the great Jewish scholar Maimonides was in Fez during this period and urged all Jews to leave because the intolerant Al Moravid Dynasty [1056-1147] was implementing forced conversions. Along with many other Jews, Maimonides went to Egypt, where he became the Chief Rabbi of Cairo and the physician to Saladin. Many other Moroccan Jews moved to remote mountain villages, where they remained until the second half of the 20th century, although the persecutions were over by 1220. In the mountains they interacted with local Berber tribes and integrated with Jews who had been clients of Berber tribes for at least a century. </p> <p class="articletext">Spanish Jews, however, were the most prosperous Jews of the Middle Ages, and their coming to Morocco in droves left a lasting impact. They began to arrive when Christian anti-Jewish violence began in 1391, a century before their formal expulsion. By 1438, Fez had again achieved a large Jewish population, and relations between the Jews and the Muslims were tense, probably because of a competition over urban space. After a local massacre of the Jews, the ruler took them under his protection, obeying the duty of an Islamic Sultan. He confined them to a special quarter in Fez, an area already called Mellah. This was the first Jewish quarter in Morocco, but it was replicated in other cities and the term “Mellah” soon came to mean any Jewish quarter. These quarters were sometimes compulsory and sometimes not, as the situation of the Jews changed from century to century and ruler to ruler. In the late 19th and 20th centuries, a Mellah might be a Jewish quarter chosen by the less Westernized Jews who did not wish to integrate into Muslim areas. </p> <p class="articletext">The Jews lived in urban and rural areas, and were members of a variety of classes over the centuries. In other words, they were present everywhere. Boosting this sense of their omnipresence was their activity as merchants. They traveled between city and hinterland, staying in Muslim homes along the way, or, in briefer but still regular encounters, they brought goods and services into private houses. Because they were not a part of the tribal system and its rivalries, the Jews were neutral intermediaries whose travel was eased and markets broadened by their contacts with the widespread Sephardic communities in Europe and the Middle East. </p> <p class="articletext">Although Jews come into focus in Morocco after the arrival of Islam, their own legends position them there from the time of the destruction of the First Temple in the sixth century BC. True or not, this legend serves an important symbolic purpose, for it both links Moroccan Jews to the ancient land of Israel, and gives them a presence in Morocco that predates the Arabs and Islam by at least 1000 years. Two thousand years of legendary history, plus a culture distinctively Moroccan, is enough to call a place home; and for this reason, their leave-taking was particularly painful. Nonetheless, leave they did, after the establishment of Israel in 1948. Their leave-taking is complex as they were not, in the main, Zionists. Instead, many Jews had become highly Westernized due to the Alliance Israelite schools that flourished under the French Protectorate. Their emigration was perhaps due to a climate of fear rather than any real threat or adherence to an ideology. In 1952, 72,000 Jews lived in Casablanca, forming one-tenth of the population; and in 1955, one year before Moroccan (and Tunisian) independence, North African Jews represented 87 percent of new immigrants to Israel. </p> <p class="articletext">With Moroccan independence, King Muhammad V made Jewish emigration illegal. Nonetheless, the Jews remained loyal to him, remembering him as their protector during WWII. Moroccan Jews both in Israel and in Morocco mourned his death in 1961. His son, King Hassan II, quietly allowed Jews to emigrate, but in the late 20th century he encouraged Jews who had emigrated to return to Morocco. After King Hassan II died in 1999, his son Muhammad VI has continued this open door policy. In fact, Muhammad VI was a patron of this exhibition and catalogue and wrote that “the blending of cultures resulted in a sympathetic understanding that unified the people of Morocco, to the extent that My Honorable Grandfather, His Majesty Muhammed V, answered the Nazi commander who demanded a list of the Jews: “We have no Jews in Morocco, only Moroccan citizens.” </p> <p class="articletext">Muhammed V’s legendary pronouncement is a new twist on “ <em>Fas bled bla nas’ </em>.” Clearly the memory and image of the Jews in Morocco has changed over the centuries. Today’s image, if current events have not altered it, is one of openness and welcome from Morocco, and one of nostalgia and longing from the Jews who sometimes feel themselves in a new type of exile. </p> <p class="articletext">The long first article places Jews in Moroccan Muslim history, but the two following articles bring this Jewish and Muslim history to life. For “Morocco: Jews and Art in a Muslim Land” goes well beyond the traditional scholarly by including two personal memoirs. </p> <p class="articletext">“Cradle of the Wind” by Ami Bouganim <strong>, </strong>a Moroccan-born French writer, recalls his childhood in the Mellah of Essaouira, the hopes of the Jewish community, and the impact of the Alliance Israelite schools. Especially striking are his descriptions of his own father, a shopkeeper with an Arabic Berber dialect, who leaves his shop daily for noon prayers. His schedule is not so different from that of his Muslim neighbors. </p> <p class="articletext" style="margin-bottom: 0pt;">In “Esther and I: From Shore to Shore,” Oumama Aouad Lahrech writes from the point of view of a distinguished Muslim author who tells of growing up in the cities of Rabat and Sale, a childhood intertwined with the family of her best friend, a Jewish girl named Esther. Esther’s father, M. Bitton was a Jewish Berber born in 1915, and named for a Rabbi who was worshiped for his miracles by Muslims as well as Jews. Here, at a personal level, the author introduces us to a shared culture of saint veneration among Moroccan Jews and Muslims. Esther’s mother was from the politically powerful Ohana family, and thus, thanks to Esther’s parents, Lahrech saw Moroccan Jews as simultaneously powerful and humble, both Westernized and provincial. The interaction between the families included visits among houses, but also the celebration of the Mimouna, the feast at the end of Passover when Jews would come out of their eight days of seclusion, welcoming their neighbors with open houses and music — and welcomed back by their neighbors with gifts of food. Because of this intimate history, Lahrech’s sense of surprise and betrayal at the emigration of the Jews is poignant and personal. </p> <table style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;" width="35%"> <tbody><tr> <td class="pullout">"Two thousand years of legendary history, plus a culture distinctively Moroccan, is enough to call a place home; and for this reason, their leave-taking was particularly painful. "</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p class="articletext">The addition of memoirs invites the reader to understand the emotional dimension of culture. Like a novel, the memoir brings a setting with it, placing items of material culture in the context of contemporary ideas, beliefs, activities, and, most importantly, places: whether as inclusive as the Medina or shared saints tombs, or as intimate as a household wedding ceremony. Both personal stories in “Morocco: Jews and Art in a Muslim Land” give what D. Pinault calls “dramatic visualization” to scholarly facts; in other words, they provide descriptive details of people and items helping readers to visualize the setting. These bring the objects in the exhibit to life. </p> <p class="articletext">In “Customs of the Jews of Morocco,” Harvey E. Goldberg returns to a scholarly investigation of Moroccan Jewish culture, but now with an emotionally attuned audience. This article treats customs such as the Mimouna and saint veneration in depth. For instance, we learn that during the Mimouna festival, Jews would dress as Muslims, often borrowing clothes from their Muslim neighbors. At Passover, the Jews disappeared from public life: for eight days they were secluded in their homes or the synagogue, prompting people to ask “where are the Jews?” and, perhaps, “are they plotting against us?” Goldberg suggests that the post-Passover festival was a way for Jews to re-integrate themselves into Muslim social life while maintaining their difference. </p> <p class="articletext">The concepts of difference and sameness are embedded in the text and the items in this catalogue, but perhaps too subtly embedded. For example, their shared culture of saint veneration and even shared saints goes a long way toward explaining why Moroccan Jews in the “Diaspora” would feel at home in Morocco and among Moroccan Muslims, but the authors do not examine the Muslim perspective. Although Vivian B. Mann, editor of this catalogue and the Chair of Judaica at the Jewish Museum, discusses Jews as both the subjects and makers of art, and the impact of other cultures on the arts of Morocco, in “Memory, Mimesis, Realia,” this otherwise fine article, like the catalogue section that follows it, emphasizes the Jewish experience. The clothing and liturgical items are rarely contextualized as items of a shared culture,— not just because of shared materials and shared artisans, but because of shared purchasing activities, and shared ways of use (for example, textiles used on saints’ tombs.) The shared history of amulet bowls is another example; the subject of the impact of Jewish jewelry makers might be a far larger one. </p> <p class="articletext">“Morocco: Jews and Art in a Muslim Land” is a complex and highly nuanced introduction to understanding the history of two intermingled cultures without a single, distinct voice; yet it defines a cultural place where Moroccan Jews were once at home. While it documents the past, it also participates in shaping the way that these two parts of the same culture relate to each other: for both the image of their hybrid history and the form of their shared future depend very much on the way that they are “narrated” or represented. Oumama Aouad Lahrech’s quotation is, indeed, very apt: “Tell me what you remember and I will tell you what you will become.” With this in mind, this catalogue is a conscious and important bridge between separated relatives who actually need to be reintroduced. </p> <em></em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-6787170945589454125?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127633908759894579.post-16687832214921470282008-11-28T06:11:00.000-08:002008-11-28T06:12:34.409-08:00<div id="pageNav"> <div class="relatedLinks"> <h3><br /></h3> <a href="http://www.sundvall.org/index.php?option=com_weblinks&amp;Itemid=23"> </a> </div> <div id="advert"> <a href="http://www.sundvall.org/index.php?option=com_weblinks&amp;catid=27&amp;Itemid=23" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image9','','../images/lapinakyva_1.gif',1)"><img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/lapinakyva_a.gif" name="Image9" id="Image9" width="107" border="0" height="66" /></a> </div> </div> <div class="feature"> <img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints010.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="293" /> <h3>Alpheus prints </h3> <p><br /> </p> </div> <h3>Windhoek Namibia</h3> <p>Alpheus Mvula is currently working in Windhoek Namibia.</p> <p> </p> <p> <img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints001.jpg" alt="print1" width="600" height="225" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints016.jpg" alt="print2" width="600" height="123" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints005.jpg" alt="print3" width="600" height="349" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints008.jpg" alt="print4" width="600" height="226" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints011.jpg" alt="print5" width="600" height="377" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints013.jpg" alt="print6" width="600" height="329" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints019.jpg" alt="print7" width="600" height="392" /></p> <p><img src="http://www.keketop.com/images/prints020.jpg" alt="print8" width="600" height="312" /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-1668783221492147028?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5127633908759894579.post-3496123287270849492008-11-28T06:03:00.000-08:002008-11-28T06:04:48.429-08:00<p><b>THE 50 BEST AFRICAN ARTISTS</b></p><p><b> OGA STEVE ABAH, PLAYWRIGHT (Nigeria) </b></p><p>Oga Steve Abah is a tireless, prolific theatre activist whose work focuses on creating dramas based on the everyday lives of ordinary people: poor, powerless, without a channel for learning to cope with the pressures of contemporary life. In his work, he aims for a creative, aesthetic "empowering" theatre practice drawing on masquerade and dance, the existing forms of performance of both peasant society and urban workers. Through this technique, people address the inequalities in their lives and create exquisite dramas in open-air settings all over Africa.</p><p><b> CHINUA ACHEBE, AUTHOR (Nigeria) </b></p><p>The father of the African novel, Achebe made his literary debut in 1958 with the classic Things Fall Apart, which has been translated into 50 languages. It is hard to resist his beguiling style, which infuses standard English with Igbo proverbs and speech patterns. As the founding editor of Heinemann's African writers series, he was instrumental in introducing the world to much new writing from Africa. Also an essayist, writer of short stories and university professor, he continues to inspire and teach, despite having been paralysed in a car accident in 1990. He could be considered literary godparent to several fledgling novelists (including Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the writer of Purple Hibiscus). In 2004, he declined to accept Nigeria's second-highest honour in protest at the state of affairs in his country. Many believe a Nobel Prize would be a more appropriate honour.</p><p><b> DAVID ADJAYE, ARCHITECT (Tanzania) </b></p><p>The 40-year-old is the head of Adjaye/ Associates, having received his Masters in architecture in 1993 from the Royal College of Art. Based in London, Adjaye has received commissions all over Europe and the United States. His work strives to create a sense of dialogue between the building and its space. He has given lectures around the world and has worked for the BBC, notably hosting a six-part TV series, Dreamspaces, about modern architecture. His company's designs include the east London projects Elektra House in Whitechapel and Idea Store in Poplar, and the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo.</p><p><b> NEWTON ADUAKA, FILM DIRECTOR (Nigeria) </b></p><p>Born in Ogidi, eastern Nigeria, in 1966, Newton Aduaka moved to Lagos in 1970 and then to England in 1985. After a diploma in video arts and post-production, he studied at the London International Film School, graduating in 1990. He wrote and published short stories while working as a sound mixer on a wide range of productions. In 1997, he set up Granite FilmWorks with Maria Elena L'Abbate to produce cutting-edge, uncompromising films. His debut feature Rage (2000) was released to acclaim, becoming the first independent film by a black film-maker to gain a national release in Britain. It won many festival prizes, including best director at the Pan African Film * * Festival in Los Angeles and the Oumarou Ganda Award at Fespaco, Africa's biggest film festival. Aduaka has directed commercials and several short films. Funeral (2002) was commissioned for the Cannes Film Festival alongside similarly-themed work from directors such as Walter Salles, Arturo Ripstein and Amos Gitai. The short film Aicha (2004) demonstrates his poetic and visual skills in telling a story.</p><p><b> MAHMOUD AHMED, MUSICIAN (Ethiopia) </b></p><p>Little known outside his native country, Mahmoud Ahmed was born in the Mercato district of Addis Ababa and spent his formative years listening to music by the Imperial Body Guard Band and the famous Ethiopian singer Tlahoun Gessesse, before heading into the capital and shining shoes for a living. He found a job at the Arizona club, one of few "semi-legal" clubs permitted by Emperor Haile Selassie, which became a favourite haunt of the Imperial Body Guard Band, whom he eventually joined before recording in his own right. He was rediscovered by the West through the groundbreaking Ethiopiques series released by Buda Musique in the late 1990s.</p><p><b> AMA ATA AIDOO, PLAYWRIGHT (Ghana) </b></p><p>Ama Ata Aidoo is best known for her play Anowa, a complex tale of a husband and wife's relationship set against the background of the iniquities of the slavery and the disapproval of her conservative, resentful mother. Initially strong, Anowa eventually succumbs to madness and death as her husband finds himself disempowered by her strength. Aidoo's work, published in the 1960s, was ahead of its time, pointing to the contradictions and tensions in love and the abuse of power; her husband Kofi employs slave labour in their business, a practice Anowa despises.</p><p><b> AMADOU AND MARIAM, MUSICIANS (Mali) </b></p><p>Success was a long time coming for this talented, award-winning Malian couple who met in 1977 at the Institute for the Blind in Bamako. The guitarist and singer Amadou Bagayoko had served his apprenticeship by playing guitar in legendary band Les Ambassadeurs. After moving to Abidjan, Ivory Coast, in 1986, they recorded a series of cassette-only releases that made them stars in their homeland. These were recently re-released on the French label Because Records (1990-1995: The Best of the African Years). They recorded three successful major-label albums after moving to Paris in the late 1990s before meeting up with Manu Chao, who produced their biggest and (by general agreement) best album so far, Dimanche á Bamako.</p><p><b> AYI KWEI ARMAH, AUTHOR (Ghana) </b></p><p>Born in 1939, and one of only a few Ghanaian novelists who have been published internationally since the 1960s, Ayi Kwei Armah is rather less known but is no less talented than his more widely feted Nigerian contemporaries. Variously based over the years in the United States, Algeria, Paris, Tanzania and Senegal, Armah has gathered a dedicated fan-base who might wish that his output had been somewhat greater than it has been. However, he has also worked as a translator, editor, scriptwriter and teacher. His novel The Beautyful Ones Are Not Yet Born burst on to the scene in 1968, to be followed by others that display his extraordinary way with prose, at once excoriating and spiritual: Two Thousand Seasons (1973), Osiris Rising: A Novel of Africa Past, Present and Future (1995) and The Healers (2000).</p><p><b> LES BALLETS AFRICAINS, DANCERS AND MUSICIANS (Guinea) </b></p><p>The Guinean choreographer Keita Fodeba formed the dance company in Paris in 1952. They successfully toured the world until Guinea's independence in 1958. On returning to their native country, the company became a national treasure; Les Ballets Africains, affectionately known as "roving ambassadors", are credited with enlightening their audiences about Guinean culture. The company strives to foster better understanding of Africa and build relationships with other countries. Their lively music is made by drums, flutes and Guinean castanets; audiences enjoy their elaborate costumes, dance and storytelling.</p><p><b> BIYI BANDELE, AUTHOR (Nigeria) </b></p><p>Born in 1967, Bandele is one of the most versatile and prolific of the UK-based Nigerian writers, having turned his hand to theatre, journalism, television, film and radio, as well as the fiction with which he first made his name. His novels, which include The Man Who Came In From the Back of Beyond (1991) and The Street (2000), are rewarding reading, capable of wild surrealism and wit, as well as political engagement, as is all his writing. As a playwright, his ambition is admirable.</p><p><b> SOKARI DOUGLAS CAMP, ARTIST (Nigeria) </b></p><p>Sokari Douglas Camp is one of the first female African artists to have attracted the attention of the European art market. She left her country at the age of 21 to study in Oakland, California and at the London Royal College of Art. Her expressive man-high steel sculptures show her immediate relationship to her home country. She uses masks and ritual clothing as compositional themes in her work, reflecting the political and cultural relationship between Africa and the Western world.</p><p><b> BOYZIE CEKWANA, CHOREOGRAPHER AND DANCER (South Africa) </b></p><p>The choreographer works mainly in South Africa but also presents a lot of work in Europe, mostly in France. Cekwana has taken contemporary dance to the next level in Africa. He is important because he has changed perceptions about dance, particularly in South Africa. Trained in classical ballet, he has found his own way of blending the heritage of his country with his work. He deals with identity and history, fusing politics with the mainstream of art and finding his South African forms within the classical form.</p><p><b> SOULEYMANE CISSE, FILM DIRECTOR (Mali) </b></p><p>Cissé has crafted a body of films that combine visual elegance with Marxist ideology and allegorical storytelling. His best-known film is Yeelen ("Brightness"), a Jury Prize-winner at Cannes in 1987 and one of the great experiences of world cinema. Born in 1940, Cissé began his career as a projectionist and photographer in Mali. After studying cinema in the Soviet Union for seven years, he returned to Mali, where he made newsreels and documentaries. His first fiction film, Cinq jours d'une vie ("Five Days in a Life", 1972), launched his career and gained attention for the burgeoning African film movement. In 1975, Cissé directed the first feature film in his native language of Bambara, The Girl, only to have the film banned. Drawing on indigenous lifestyles and folklore, Cissé attempts to explore conflicts in Malian society.</p><p><b> LUEEN CONNING, PLAYWRIGHT (South Africa) </b></p><p>In her play A Coloured Place, Conning has produced an exciting piece of writing that explores the contradictions inherent in being "coloured" in post-apartheid South Africa. Using multi-media staging, the play is unrelenting as its barrage of images, perceptions and attitudes spill out on to the stage from bodyless voices.</p><p><b> TSITSI DANGAREMBGA, AUTHOR (Zimbabwe) </b></p><p>When Dangarembga's first book, Nervous Conditions, won the Commonwealth Writers Prize for Fiction in 1989, Doris Lessing wrote: "Many good novels written by men have come out of Africa, but few but black women. This is the novel we have been waiting for... it will become a classic." It was read by millions, and was among the top 12 titles in the project to identify Africa's 100 best books of the 20th century. The follow-up has been long coming (Dangaremgba turned her attention to film), but The Book of Not, just published by Ayebia Clarke Publishing, was worth the wait; it's a powerful story spanning the period from minority rule to the emergence of independent Zimbabwe.</p><p><b> TOUMANI DIABATE, MUSICIAN (Mali) </b></p><p>Perhaps the best-known kora player in the world, the Malian star Toumani Diabaté has released a string of albums alongside the likes of Ballake Sissoko (New Ancient Strings) and the late, great Ali Farke Touré (In the Heart of the Moon). Refusing to be pigeonholed, he's worked with the blues legend Taj Mahal and Spanish superstars Ketama, and is always willing to mix various styles with his Malian roots. This year saw the release of the critically acclaimed Boulevard de l'Independance with his band Symmetric Orchestra. Recorded at the same time as In the Heart of the Moon, it showcases the diversity of his playing.</p><p><b> DILOMPRIZULIKE, ARTIST (Nigeria) </b></p><p>Dilomprizulike, the self-proclaimed "junk man of Africa", is among the most enigmatic of artists. Dilom creates sculpture and performances tied deeply into traditional African masquerade, yet which are informed by a post-modern awareness. Dilom is the art. He lives in what seems to be a junkyard in a permanent performance, recycling the detritus of Lagos into artwork, clothes, a home and a way of life that questions much of what we take for granted. Yet the work wrought from rubbish is deeply beautiful, intriguing and has a real gravitas; he is a philosophical Gaudi for the 21st century.</p><p><b> CESARIA EVORA, SINGER (Cape Verde) </b></p><p>This Grammy-winning singer hails from the port town of Mindelo, on Sao Vincente. She possesses one of the most powerful and alluring voices in the world, helped by a bitter-sweet style of singing called morna, a descendent of Portuguese fado, sung in Creole-Portuguese. Ostensibly a folk singer (although the style is known as Cape Verdean blues), she's accompanied by guitar, accordion, violin, cavaquinho (a small four-string guitar) and clarinet, and often sings of isolation, love and slavery.</p><p><b> SAMUEL FOSSO, PHOTOGRAPHER (Cameroon) </b></p><p>Samuel Fosso is a prolific and witty photographer, whose colourful and outlandish portraits range from African chiefs to American women. But they all have one thing in common; on close inspection, they can be seen to be self-portraits. His explorations of identity have featured in the Guggenheim in New York and the Photographers' Gallery in London</p><p><b> FLORA GOMES, FILM DIRECTOR (Guinea-Bissau) </b></p><p>Gomes is the only film-maker to emerge from Guinea-Bissau, a former Portuguese colony in West Africa. He attended a course in cinematography at the Institute of Cuban Art in Havana under the legendary Santiago Alvarez and qualified as a cameraman and director of photography in 1972. Gomes started working for television with the late Senegalese film-maker Paulin Vieyra. In 1973, he made his first news film about the second congress of PAIGC (African Party for the Independence of Portuguese Guinea and Cape Verde). In 1983, he made Mortu Nega, the first full-length film produced in Guinea-Bissau, a remarkable tale of love during the liberation and the struggles of independence.</p><p><b> PIERRE ATEPA GOUDIABY, ARCHITECT (Senegal) </b></p><p>Through the African Scholarship Program, Goudiaby took a degree in architecture from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York in 1973. Born in the village of Baila, his humble beginnings are a thing of the past; he is now among Africa's most respected and successful architects. His company, Atepa Group, is responsible for some of the most innovative and modern buildings in Senegal. His West Africa Central Bank in Dakar is modelled on the baobab tree. Elders in his culture gather round this sacred tree and have discussions. In 2003, the Africa-America Institute awarded Goudiaby the Special Recognition Award for Architecture and Business Enterprise in Africa.</p><p><b> MAHAMAT SALEH HAROUN, FILM DIRECTOR (Chad) </b></p><p>Born in N'Djamena in 1961, Haroun was forced to leave his home country at the start of the 1980s because of civil war, fleeing to Cameroon and later Paris. He studied in France - film, then journalism - and worked for five years as a reporter before directing his first short film in 1994. Among his early shorts are Maral Tanie (1994) and Goi-Goi, le nain (1995). His first documentary, Bord d'Africa (1995), focuses on African musicians living in Bordeaux. The second, Sotgui Kouyaté, un griot modern (1996), tells the story of a griot from Burkina Faso. The film explores the life of the famous griot in the different worlds of Africa and Europe. Haroun provides a new language and aesthetic for African cinema. Bye Bye Africa (1999) was the first film of its kind to be produced entirely in Chad; it's a "documentary fiction", a story about making a documentary in which he himself plays an exiled African film-maker. His latest film is Daratt ("Dry Season").</p><p><b> DELIA JARRETT-MACAULEY, AUTHOR (Sierra Leone) </b></p><p>Drawing on her Sierra Leonian background for an uplifting story about a child soldier, Moses, Citizen &amp; Me (2005), Jarrett-Macauley's confident first novel did not enjoy the sort of hype that greeted, say, Helen Oyayemi. But a measure of her accomplishment in dealing with sensitivity, humour and empathy with disturbing material is that the novel won the George Orwell Prize for political writing. Already the author of The Life of Una Marson, 1905-65, a biography of the first black programme-maker at the BBC, Jarrett-Macauley exemplifies the African diasporic talent that has continued to invigorate mainstream English literature.</p><p><b> SALIF KEITA, MUSICIAN (Mali) </b></p><p>One of the founders of Afro-pop, Keita was born in Mali in 1949 to a noble family. He was born an albino, which led his mother to hide him for fear of reprisals from superstitious neighbours. His decision to become a singer met with hostility from his family because it was seen as an occupation beneath his noble standing. He stuck to his guns and left his village for the capital Bamako aged 18. He later played with the Rail Band and Les Ambassadeurs before becoming a solo artist, recording such classics as Soro and the Grammy-nominated Amen.</p><p><b> KHALED, MUSICIAN (Algeria) </b></p><p>Possibly the most famous Algerian rai singer of all time, Khaled is one of the few North African artists to have won wide acclaim, particularly in his adopted home of France, where his singles "Aicha" and "Didi" flew to the top of the charts. Born Khaled Hadj Brahim in Sidi-El-Houri in 1960, he left school at 16 to record his first single. Influenced by Arabic, Spanish and French music, as well as The Beatles and James Brown, his sound soon typified rai's smooth synth-pop output of the Eighties. Moving to France in 1986, he recorded a string of successful albums such as Kenza and Sahra before going back to his roots with his latest, Ya-Rayi.</p><p><b> ABDOULAYE KONATE, ARTIST (Mali) </b></p><p>The contemporary artist, 53, began his career as a graphic designer at the Musée National in Bamako and went on to be appointed director of the Palais de la Culture. In 2002, he received two awards: the Chevalier d'Ordre National du Mali and Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de France. Having started as a painter, his style has evolved into multi-medium and large installation work. His political, social and environmental views are expressed through his art. Recently, his work has depicted the devastating effects of Aids on society and individuals.</p><p><b> KONONO NO 1, MUSICIANS (Congo) </b></p><p>Konono No 1 are a unique musical collective from Kinshasa. They use percussion instruments salvaged from junkyards, and combine electric likembé (a thumb piano) with percussion and voices, filtered though a PA system that consists of a microphone carved out of wood, fitted with a magnet from a car alternator and an oversized horn-shaped amp. The cacophony is unforgettable.</p><p>Likembé player Mawangu Mingiedi is the leader of the band. A former truck driver, now in his seventies, he adapts trance-inducing zombo ritual music (from his homeland near the Angolan border), as heard on the band's critically acclaimed album Congotronics.</p><p><b> FEMI KUTI, MUSICIAN (Nigeria) </b></p><p>He'll never quite escape the shadow of his father (the Afro-beat legend Fela Kuti), but Femi Anikulapo Kuti has done a creditable job of emulating his father's work, albeit in a much cleaner (and less risqué) way. Kuti was born in London in 1962, but grew up in Nigeria's former capital, Lagos. He quickly adapted to his new musical and politically active surroundings, learning various instruments as well as singing. He put this education to good use on a series of albums with his band Positive Force. He headlines the African Soul Rebels Tour next year.</p><p><b> FAUSTIN LINYEKULA, CHOREOGRAPHER AND DANCER (Congo) </b></p><p>Born in Ubunvu in north-east Congo, Faustin Linyekula doesn't conform to any form or structure or place. He's inspired by nothing and creates something out of it. Coming from Congo, he's always worked under very difficult circumstances, but for him these circumstances have become a form of inspiration. After eight years in self-imposed exile (1993-2001), Linyekula returned to his homeland with a renewed desire to create art there and established a company, Les Studios Kabako, in Kinshasa. His work can best be described as experimental performance art, using text and theatre to examine the links between art and society and issues of identity.</p><p><b> VINCENT MANTSOE, CHOREOGRAPHER AND DANCER (South Africa) </b></p><p>Vincent Mantsoe grew up dancing in the township of Soweto, and trained at the Moving Into Dance school in Johannesburg. He is the pioneer of Afro-fusion - a blend of African aesthetics and traditions with European forms - bringing it to the world stage. His work draws on traditional African dance, the song and dance rituals of the sangomas (traditional healers) as well as modern, ballet and Asian forms.</p><p><b> ZOLA MASEKO, FILM DIRECTOR (South Africa) </b></p><p>During apartheid, the handful of South Africa's black film-makers were either unable to work in their country or were in exile. The end of apartheid provided opportunities to make films that were in synch with their history and realities. Maseko became the first South African to win the Etalon de Yennega, Africa's leading prize for fiction film, at Fespaco (2005) with his biopic Drum on the life and death of the journalist Henry Nxumalo. Maseko was born in exile in 1967 and educated in Swaziland and Tanzania. He studied at the National Film School at Beaconsfield, England. He also directed an 11-part series for the South African Broadcasting Corporation entitled In Search of Our History. The capturing of popular memory lies at the heart of his work.</p><p><b> SOUAD MASSI, SINGER (Algeria) </b></p><p>This talented singer/songwriter fled her homeland after being hounded out by Islamic fundamentalists who took exception to her promotion of independence for young women. She ended up in Paris, where she started to create her own unique blend of folk, rock, flamenco and shaabi (Arabic street pop), releasing her acclaimed debut album Raoui ("Storyteller") in 2001. She's toured prolifically for the past few years, and won a Planet Award at the 2006 BBC world music awards. She is defiantly outspoken about the problems in Algeria: "Remaining silent would mean that terrorists have won and that all the intellectuals they murdered died for nothing," she says.</p><p><b> YOUSSOU N'DOUR, MUSICIAN (Senegal) </b></p><p>Perhaps the best-known African singer of all, most people remember N'Dour for his hit "7 Seconds" with Neneh Cherry, but there is much more to him. With his band Super Etoile de Dakar, he changed the face * * of Senegalese music with a radical form of energetic, polyrhythmic music called mbalax, which spread across West Africa like wildfire. He's become a figurehead for Africa, campaigning for Aids awareness and speaking against corruption and genocide. His finest albums remain Immigrés and the Grammy-winning Egypt, a devotional album in praise of Islamic sages.</p><p><b> KETTLY NOEL, CHOREOGRAPHER AND DANCER (Haiti/Mali) </b></p><p>Kettly Noël, from Port au Prince, Haiti, began dancing seriously at the age of 17. In 1996, she moved to Benin, where she began giving training in contemporary dance to local youngsters, many of whom went on to become members of the Benin National Ballet. At the end of 1999, Noël relocated to Mali, with the intention of starting a similar project there. She's a female choreographer who deals with women's issues in Africa. Her work deals with identity and the fight for the position of women in the continent. She confronts issues other people are not willing to go near in their work. She likes to go deeply into dark areas in search of light.</p><p><b> IDRISSA OUEDRAOGO, FILM-MAKER (Upper Volta/Burkina Faso) </b></p><p>Born in Banfora in 1954, Ouedraogo's early knowledge of film came from the travelling cinemas that visited villages. He made his mark at the Cannes Film Festival with his 1990 film Tilai, which won the Jury Prize. His 1989 film Yaaba about a 10-year-old boy who befriended an older woman remains an international success. Having studied film in Paris, his style is dubbed "Francophone African cinema". His films are known for their visual charm and the attention he pays to the composition of each scene.</p><p><b> TRACEY ROSE, ARTIST (South Africa) </b></p><p>Tracey Rose makes Tracey Emin look like a Girl Guide. Rose is a mixed-race feminist who uses identity and sexual politics as incendiary devices, waging war on her fellow South Africans' sensibilities with almost narrative-less performances, films and artworks. It is hard to resist the crazy world she weaves, a car crash of popular culture and extreme sociology, so assuredly absurd that it has a kind of convincing intoxication that pulls you in. Even against a backdrop of the extremes of her home town Johannesburg, she is wild, seeming to weave a visual poetry across the polarities of South Africa's political landscape that can make you laugh, yet feel guilty for your collusion.</p><p><b> IBRAHIM EL SALAHI, ARTIST (Sudan) </b></p><p>It is difficult not to fall in love with the deeply serene El Salahi, the godfather of African modernism. He has created great work over five decades, has had as many chapters to his practice as Picasso, and has generated his own personal art-history. There's a story that when he worked as the Sudanese cultural minister in the Seventies he was imprisoned for six months, accused by the military dictator of anti-government activities. In prison, he asked the guard for paper and pencils. The guard laughed: "You're not in New York now!" Salahi managed to beg and steal the means to paint and draw, under threat of being beaten or worse. His work helps one to see why someone might be driven to take such risks.</p><p><b> OUSMANE SEMBENE, FILM-MAKER (Senegal) </b></p><p>Sembène is the "father" of African cinema. Best known for his historical-political works with strong social comment, Sembène was born in Senegal in 1923. He left school at 15 and worked as a plumber, bricklayer and apprentice mechanic. In 1944, he was called up to active duty to liberate France and was subsequently sent to the colony of Niger. After his discharge he took part in the Dakar-Niger railroad strike, which inspired his book Les bouts de bois de Dieu ("God's Bits of Wood") (1960). In 1948, Sembène went back to France, worked in Marseilles docks, became a trade union activist and joined the French Communist Party. In 1956, his first book Le docker noir ("The Black Docker") was published. Sembène began to realise the greater potential of cinema for a largely illiterate mass audience. He went to Moscow to study under Mark Donskoj at the Gorky Studios). His short film Borom Sarret (1963) is the cornerstone on which African cinema has been built.</p><p><b> ABDERRAHMANE SISSAKO, FILM DIRECTOR (Mauritania/Mali) </b></p><p>Sissako is the most distinguished and inventive film-maker working in Africa today. Born in Kiffa, Mauritania, in 1961 and raised in Mali, his father's homeland, he returned to Mauritania in 1980. The difficulties of adjustment encouraged him to turn to literature and film. A study grant allowed him to attend the Institute of the University of Moscow. Le Jeu (1990), first presented as a graduation assignment, won the best short prize at the Giornate del Cinema Africano of Perugia in 1991. In 1993, Octobre was shown at Locarno and won prizes the world over. Waiting for Happiness was screened at Cannes 2002 and won best film in the Un Certain Regard section. It was shown at the New York Film Festival in 2002 and won the Grand Prize at Fespaco in 2003. His latest film Bamako, in which Western financial institutions are put on trial by African civil society, had its premiere in Cannes in May this year and its UK premiere at the London Film Festival last month.</p><p><b> WOLE SOYINKA, DRAMATIST, NOVELIST, POET (Nigeria) </b></p><p>Soyinka is an iconic figure who, in 1986, became the first black (and first African) Nobel laureate. Outspoken against government oppression in his native Nigeria (like his cousin Fela Kuti), his writing career over 40 years has encompassed prison, exile and a death sentence for treason. He is the best-known playwright from the continent. His plays include Death and the King's Horseman, an exploration of morality, human weakness and pomposity within the performance of sacrificial rituals. Some of his most important writing is as an autobiographer, such as his 1970s prison memoir The Man Died and Aké: A Childhood Memoir. As a novelist he is less accessible.</p><p><b> RACHID TAHA, MUSICIAN (Algeria) </b></p><p>Taha is the perfect foil to the sugary love songs sung by many modern rai artists. His music emulates the guttural, promiscuous and socially satirical rural rai style typified by the late great Cheikha Remitti, and also the shaabi singer Dahmane El Harrachi, whose song "Ya Rayah" he covered for his biggest hit. Taha started out in the French rock band Carte De Séjour, where his politically charged lyrics took shape. A string of solo albums followed, bursting with traditional Algerian rhythms and a healthy punk-rock attitude. His best-loved album Diwan, covering classic Algerian songs, was recently followed up with Diwan 2.</p><p><b> NGUGI WA THIONG'O, AUTHOR (Kenya) </b></p><p>Exiled from Kenya for 22 years because of his highly political work (including the best-selling novel Petals of Blood), one of Africa's greatest and most highly respected writers has just returned to attention with his first novel in 20 years, Wizard of the Crow, a magisterial, acerbic milestone work set in a fictional modern African state.</p><p><b> TINARIWEN, MUSICIANS (Mali) </b></p><p>Formed in 1982 in Muammar Gaddafi's Tuareg rebel camps, this celebrated Tuareg blues band gave up guns for guitars, singing in French and Tamashek and playing a style of music called tishmoumaren ("music of the unemployed"). Their creative heart is the vocalist and guitarist Ibrahim Ag Alhabib, who can strike a mean Chuck Berry riff. The band's first album, The Radio Tisdas Sessions, recorded in 2000, was followed by Amassakoul ("Traveller") in 2004. Their third album Aman Iman: Water Is Life is released in January on Independiente.</p><p><b> ROKIA TRAORE, MUSICIAN (Mali) </b></p><p>One of the most distinctive new voices of Mali, and a tremendous live performer, Rokia Traoré came to UK attention at Womad in 2000. Although not a griot, her family encouraged her to sing at weddings, though her father was a wealthy diplomat and such things were frowned upon. While studying in France she sang with a rap group, and this led her to begin writing songs. She was discovered on the French festival circuit, and in 1997 became a protégé of Ali Farka Touré, who persuaded her to record her first album Mouneissa. A series of critically acclaimed albums have followed.</p><p><b> BINYAVANGA WAINANA, AUTHOR (Kenya) </b></p><p>Born in Kenya, but with an imagination that transcends borders and cultures, Wainana won the Caine Prize for African Writing (the "African Booker") in 2002. His Granta-published essay, "How To Write About Africa", brilliantly satirising the clichés and stereotypes that can ensnare non-African writers, will make any but the guilty laugh out loud. As founder of the journal Kwani? he nurtures new writers, including Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, the 2004 Caine winner.</p><p><b> ZOLA, MUSICIAN (South Africa) </b></p><p>Born in Soweto, Bonginkosi Dlamini, known as Zola, is one of the most famous singers of kwaito (a form of dance music pitched somewhere between house and hip-hop). He performed the score and appeared in the Oscar-winning film Tsotsi. His father abandoned his mother and their three children in one of the roughest and most notorious areas, where unemployment, violence, alcoholism and drugs were rife. This helped him prepare for his role as the gangster Papa Action in Yizo Yizo 2. His music reflects his tough upbringing.</p><p><b> ATHOL FUGARD, PLAYWRIGHT (South Africa) </b></p><p>Fugard has written benchmark plays, statement plays and wonderful pieces that introduced us to the township. He was responsible for making a lot of people focus on South Africa in a theatrical context. The Road to Mecca affected the political thinking of everyone who saw it. The truthfulness of his writing strikes painfully at the heart. What he has to say makes him an international writer but, first and foremost, it convinces us that he is a great and good man.</p><p><b> K'NAAN, RAPPER (Somalia) </b></p><p>A relative newcomer, this Somali rapper made a name in hip hop and world music circles with his inventive 2006 album The Dusty Foot Philosopher. Born in 1978, his spent his formative years trying to avoid Somalia's civil war and listening to hip-hop records sent to him by his father, who was working as a taxi driver in New York. At 13 he moved with his siblings to Harlem, and then on to Rexdale, Ontario, where he became part of a large Somali community and started rapping. A rapid rise ensued, including performing at the 50th anniversary of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in 2001, and contributing to Youssou N'Dour's album Building Bridges.</p><p><b> OUMOU SY, FASHION DESIGNER (Senegal) </b></p><p>The Senegalese designer is known as "Queen of Couture". Her bold avant-garde and Afrocentric fashions are her signature style, with a touch of Western glamour. The 55-year-old Sy is a Renaissance woman, she founded the Dakar Carnival and International Fashion Week and is also a teacher. Elaborate headdresses, vibrant colours, baskets, and even adorning CDs are her trademarks. She has pride for her culture and designs for the modern African woman, who has a bit of a fun side to her. </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5127633908759894579-349612328727084949?l=nwo-magna.blogspot.com'/></div>MAGNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12824500996674533640magnaverse@gmail.com1
