  • Desert Island Discs – Simon Ingram-Hill (As of December 2020) I
    Desert Island Discs – Simon Ingram-Hill (as of December 2020) I might have found it easier sticking to western classical music for my choices. But I lived and worked overseas for almost 40 years before returning to UK two years ago , 25 of them outside Europe. So unsurprisingly, I have found myself straying repeatedly towards what we nowadays call “World Music”. Here I have found much of what has shaped my musical tastes and here lie some wonderful memories which will help sustain me on my desert island. Shockingly, I have sacrificed much of what dominated my first two decades when I would play Beethoven, Chopin and Faure piano or cello pieces, sing SS Wesley and Stanford’s church music and listen to the latest British and American pop/rock. These have provided a thread throughout my life and I will draw on them on my island with or without the physical recording. My choices are placed in chronological order, noting the year when I was first introduced to them. And each will not only conjure up some very personal happy memories but also stand for me as a worthy representative for a whole musical genre. 1. Carlos Jobim’s Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) (1966). Performed by composer/pianist Carlos Jobim, tenor sax Stan Getz, Guitarist João Gilberto and singer wife Astrud. This was the cast that made a Girl from Ipanema famous worldwide in the early 60’s and soon became a family favourite. Later in 1991, I sat with a Brazilian friend in the same Ipanema beach café where Jobim and pals mused on the beauty of the young 17 year old as she strolled along the sand.

  • Revista 21.Indd
    revista da número 21 abem março de 2009 Prospects and challenges of teaching and learning musics of the world’s cultures: an African perspective Perspectivas e desafi os de aprender e ensinar músicas das culturas do mundo: uma perspectiva africana Rose A. Omolo-Ongati Maseno University (Kenya) [email protected] Abstract. African music is an intrinsic part of some social event or occasion. The music is a communal functional expression closely bound up with daily human living and activities. Performance practice of African music is governed by function and context association, rule and procedure that determine how the music should be performed. These underpinnings provide that the effectiveness of African songs depend on the context in which the music is both heard and performed. The impact of globalisation has made the world become a small place, bridged and linked by modern technology. Musics of the world, both local and global, are available through the mass media. Many of such musics are used for teaching purposes outside their cultural contexts of performances. With these principles and belief systems un- derlying the practice of African music, how should the music be treated, transmitted/handed down in its transferred context? An attempt has been made to answer this question. The African perception on the learning of music is that music cannot be properly understood and appreciated without the knowledge of its social and cultural context. This paper examines the viability and practicability of this theory in cases where music is taught out of its cultural context. The challenge for the borrower is to determine how the owners of the music defi ne it since ‘music’ has various components in African culture.

    LONGING TO BELONG: SARGON BOULUS’S EXILIC POETRY ON COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND IDENTITY A Thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Master of Arts In Humanities by Mona Rasho Malik San Francisco, California Summer 2018 Copyright by Mona Rasho Malik 2018 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL I certify that I have read Longing to Belong: Sargon Bouhts’s Exilic Poetry on Collective Memory’ and Identity by Mona Rasho Malik, and that in my opinion this work meets the criteria for approving a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree Master of Arts in Humanities at San Francisco State University. Dr. Carel Bertram Ph.D. Professor LONGING TO BELONG: SARGON BOULUS'S EXILIC POETRY ON COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND IDENTITY Mona Rasho Malik San Francisco, California 2018 The nature of human exile has been a recurring theme in poetry for millennia, with its emphasis on the loss of “home.” While the meaning of home is perhaps this genre’s most complex and protean focus, this concept is rarely reflected in studies of poetry. This thesis explores the poetry and art of Sargon Boulus as perceptions of the evolving nature of “home” from the perspective of exile. In this context, the emphasis is on a sense of home in terms of a psychological state of contentment, acceptance and belonging. By focusing on this Assyrian poet in diaspora, I explore articulations of the human condition of ontological rootedness, the trauma of war and the facility for identifying with a culture and negotiating a sense of belonging.

  • Press Release ISTAF INDOOR Duesseldorf – 31.01.2021
    NEWS RELEASE: PREMIERE OF ISTAF INDOOR IN DÜSSELDORF’S ISS DOME Duplantis high flying show stopped at world record mark in Düsseldorf The first edition of the ISTAF INDOOR in Düsseldorf produced world-class athletics in the ISS Dome. Pole vault star Armand “Mondo“ Duplantis crowned the premiere with a dominant performance, establishing a world lead and a strong meeting record of 6.01 m. Only when he tried to improve his own world record by a centimeter to 6.19 his high flying show finally came to an end. Behind the Swede Torben Blech of Germany achieved a huge personal best of 5.86. Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith won the 60 m dash in 7.12 seconds while Germany’s Malaika Mihambo took a very close long jump contest with 6.74 m. An unexpected duel between Germany’s Torben Blech and Sweden’s Armand Duplantis developed with the former improving to 5.86 m. However Duplantis was superior and once more confirmed his position as the world’s number one. Securing victory with 6.01 he immediately went for 6.19 m. However the world record height was too much for today. Duplantis ran through at his first attempt and then retired. „It was a great competition. I have a special relationship to Düsseldorf, because it was here where I cleared six meters for the first time. I am not sure why, but in Germany it is always going great for me,“ said Armand “Mondo“ Duplantis. Second placed Torben Blech commented: „It was great. The music, the atmosphere, the performance - I was in a flow and relieved that I finally was able to show what I am capable of.

  • Flipping Prisms: Feminist Creative Synergy Amps up in Accra Sionne Rameah Neely
    Critical Reflections | 149 Flipping Prisms: Feminist Creative Synergy Amps Up in Accra Sionne Rameah Neely Progressively over the last decade, feminist creative organising in Accra has taken shape through collectives and projects working to amplify visibility and provide affirming space for women and women’s stories in public spheres. This rise in visibility and inclusive spaces has taken place through a myriad of cultural events, occurring throughout the city, that are led by women practitioners — independent and community writers, digital activists, academics, media journalists, artists and art programmers. This phenomenon is a departure from traditional organisers of culture, that is, national ministries, local councils, NGOs, foreign embassies and religious institutions. As a womanist researcher, writer, teacher and multimedia producer born and raised in the United States, I have actively participated in multiple cultural spaces within Accra for the last nine years. As cofounder of ACCRA [dot] ALT, an independent arts network that provides space for African artists to showcase unconventional works and make connections and projects with artists across the continent and diaspora, increasing visibility and storytelling initiatives by women practitioners is principal to our mission. This impetus for us, and for many other cultural practitioners, arose out of a persistent battle for accurate information and sincere knowledge-sharing practices. Culture is a longstanding battlefield. As it stands, African lives are often turned into narratives
