    doi: 10.5789/3-1-20 Global Media Journal African Edition 2009 Vol 3 (1) World music, authenticity and Africa: Reading Cesaria Evora and Ali Farka Toure Anandam Kavoori Introduction In this essay, I engage with the complex set of sonic connections known as 'World Music'. The section on 'Framing World Music/The Global Postmodern/Authenticity' outlines some key elements in how World Music can be theoretically framed - as a specific kind of text, anchored in conditions of global post modernity and characterized by a defining discourse -that of 'authenticity'. This is followed by a biographical/textual account of two major global music stars from Africa - Cesaria Evora (Cape Verde) and Ali Farka Toure (Mali) - with a focus on examining how their biographical and textual imprint illustrates the different ways in which the discourse of 'authenticity' is mobilised within World Music/The Global Postmodern. Finally, the concluding section summarises some general ideas about authenticity and World Music. My overall goals are to engage with the specific textual elements that make up the sonic construct of World Music, steering clear of popular discourse about it. i Framing World Musicii/ The Global Postmodern/Authenticity Aubert (2007:1) offers a beginning point for understanding music as something central to meaning in a culture, rather than mere 'fluff' - light entertainment for the illiterate and the bored: 'If music has its own place in all reflections on culture, it does so by the stakes it represents. Music is indeed never insignificant. It is simultaneously a strong and unifying means of communication and a revealer of identity within the abundance of models that characterize society.

  • " African Blues": the Sound and History of a Transatlantic Discourse
    “African Blues”: The Sound and History of a Transatlantic Discourse A thesis submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by Saul Meyerson-Knox BA, Guilford College, 2007 Committee Chair: Stefan Fiol, PhD Abstract This thesis explores the musical style known as “African Blues” in terms of its historical and social implications. Contemporary West African music sold as “African Blues” has become commercially successful in the West in part because of popular notions of the connection between American blues and African music. Significant scholarship has attempted to cite the “home of the blues” in Africa and prove the retention of African music traits in the blues; however much of this is based on problematic assumptions and preconceived notions of “the blues.” Since the earliest studies, “the blues” has been grounded in discourse of racial difference, authenticity, and origin-seeking, which have characterized the blues narrative and the conceptualization of the music. This study shows how the bi-directional movement of music has been used by scholars, record companies, and performing artist for different reasons without full consideration of its historical implications. i Copyright © 2013 by Saul Meyerson-Knox All rights reserved. ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my utmost gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Stefan Fiol for his support, inspiration, and enthusiasm. Dr. Fiol introduced me to the field of ethnomusicology, and his courses and performance labs have changed the way I think about music.

This soundtrack compiles his best songs from circa 1970, giving testament to the lyrical and musical talents of a man for so long overlooked in his native land. This year’s most compelling musical story. THE TOURE-RAICHEL COLLECTIVE The Tel Aviv Session Mali/Israel Recalling the magical cross-cultural meeting of Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Toure’s ‘Talking Timbuktu’, Ali’s son Vieux Farka Toure hooks up with Israel’s Idan Raichel on this mesmerizing album. Toure’s acoustic guitar plays off Raichel’s piano melodies on this playful, improvisational set of mostly instrumental pieces, accompanied by calabash percussion and bass. A shimmering triumph! PATRICK WATSON Canada Adventures In Your Own Backyard Recorded in Watson’s Montreal apartment, these ‘stories in people’s backyards’, delivered in his stunning falsetto, live up to their promise to make music ‘people would want to listen to at home’. Intimate, elegant and achingly beautiful, these songs add up to one of this year’s great albums. BOB DYLAN Tempest USA The return of the grizzled bobcat, once thought to be an endangered species, is cause for celebration. Backed by his crack touring band on

  • The Distance Geometry of Music
    The Distance Geometry of Music Erik D. Demaine∗ Francisco Gomez-Martin† Henk Meijer‡ David Rappaport‡ Perouz Taslakian§ Godfried T. Toussaint§¶ Terry Winogradk David R. Wood∗∗ Abstract We demonstrate relationships between the classic Euclidean algorithm and many other fields of study, particularly in the context of music and distance geometry. Specifically, we show how the structure of the Euclidean algorithm defines a family of rhythms which encompass over forty timelines (ostinatos) from traditional world music. We prove that these Euclidean rhythms have the mathematical property that their onset patterns are distributed as evenly as possible: they maximize the sum of the Euclidean distances between all pairs of onsets, viewing onsets as points on a circle. Indeed, Euclidean rhythms are the unique rhythms that maximize this notion of evenness. We also show that essentially all Euclidean rhythms are deep: each distinct distance between onsets occurs with a unique multiplicity, and these multiplicies form an interval 1, 2,...,k 1. Finally, we characterize all deep rhythms, showing that they form a subclass of generated− rhythms, which in turn proves a useful property called shelling. All of our results for musical rhythms apply equally well to musical scales. In addition, many of the problems we explore are interesting in their own right as distance geometry problems on the circle; some of the same problems were explored by Erd˝os in the plane. arXiv:0705.4085v1 [cs.CG] 28 May 2007 ∗Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, [email protected] †Departament de Matem´atica Aplicada, Universidad Polit´ecnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain, [email protected] ‡School of Computing, Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada, {henk,daver}@cs.queensu.ca §School of Computer Science, McGill University, Montr´eal, Qu´ebec, Canada, {perouz,godfried}@cs.mcgill.ca ¶Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology The Schulich School of Music McGill University.
