Une Dalida qui aurait emprunté le chemin inverse, l’emmenant des faubourgs de Bruxelles au relatif anonymat de la capitale égyptienne. Natacha Atlas est surtout, depuis une vingtaine d’années, l’incarnation de ce que la world music peut offrir de mieux sur scène, mélangeant des racines orientales, faites de danses du ventre et de youyous hululés, à des rythmes électroniques plus européens, souvenirs de son passage, au début des années 1990, dans le groupe Transglobal Underground. Depuis toujours, elle aime faire le grand écart, construire un pont entre deux rives qu’elle seule semble à même de réunir. Pour sa nouvelle tournée, cette crooneuse des sables s’est entourée d’un aréopage de musiciens issus tout autant du jazz que du folklore arabe. Le résultat est toujours aussi envoûtant, qu’elle entonne le remarquable Rise to Freedom, en hommage à la révolution du Nil de 2011, ou reprenne le joyau qu’est River Man, un titre du compositeur anglais Nick Drake. Natacha Atlas n’aime pas les barrières, encore moins les interdits. Femme du monde, héritière des grandes voix moyen-orientales, on pense à Oum Kalsoum ou à la diva libanaise Fairouz, elle est capable de nous émerveiller avec un concert digne des mille et une nuits étoilées.

  • “A Committed, Euphoric International Coalition.”
    “a committed, euphoric international coalition.” Bio Founded in 2011 by Egyptian ethnomusicologist Mina Girgis and Ethiopian-American singer Meklit Hadero, the Nile Project is one of the tightest cross-cultural musical collaborations in history. Working to raise awareness of the entire Nile River basin as an ecosystem, the 27- member Nile Project collective hail from all along the great river that connects 11 countries and over 400 million people—a region that has been marred by political and ecological conflicts—from its sources beyond Lake Victoria to its delta in Egypt. Resonant harps and lyres from up and down the river have learned new musical modes, while buzzing timbres and ingenious polyrhythms support vocals in more than 10 languages. Instruments that parted ways millennia before are reunited and pushed into new places. Love songs have crossed geographic and linguistic barriers to forge new, close friendships. The Nile Project’s collaborative model is a blueprint for a new way to organize the Nile. In January 2015, the Nile Project embarked on a 4 month US tour performing 50 concerts with stops at the Lincoln Center, the United Nations and residencies at 30 universities. Using music to spark cultural curiosity and engage audiences, the Nile Project encourages them to feel connected to the river and to explore new approaches to its large- scale problems. In an evolving series of interlocking programs that spring from the musical experience, the project aims to inspire, educate and empower young people worldwide to become Nile Citizens.

  • ISLAMIC HIP-HOP Vs. ISLAMOPHOBIA: AKI NAWAZ, NATACHA ATLAS, AKHENATON
    Excerpted from draft of: ISLAMIC HIP-HOP vs. ISLAMOPHOBIA: AKI NAWAZ, NATACHA ATLAS, AKHENATON Ted Swedenburg Department of Anthropology University of Arkansas (accessed from http://comp.uark.edu/~tsweden/IAM.html) [ . ] Akhenaton: 100% Métèque Akhenaton, rapper and chief spokesperson for Marseille rap group IAM,29 was born Philippe Fragione, son of immigrants from the region of Calabria in South Italy, who settled in Marseille. When IAM burst onto the French rap scene30 with its 1991 release ...De la Planète Mars, one of its most notable features was what André Prévos dubs its "pharaohism." Four of the group's six members go by ancient Egyptian names (Imhotep, DJ Kheops, Divin Kephren, and of course Akhenaton), and IAM's lyrics are full of references to ancient Egyptian civilization. Prévos argues astutely that "pharaohism" permitted IAM to assert connections to the contemporary Arab world in an indirect, coded way: "The concept [of pharaohism] underlines Arabic origins while bypassing negative representations of North African countries gripped by Islamic fundamentalism and economic uncertainties" (1996:721).31 The jacket of IAM's enormously successful second CD (L'ombre est lumière, 1993)32 even asserts that in ancient times, Egypt was connected to Marseille, but the continents subsequently drifted apart. I would take issue, however, with Prévos's claim that IAM's "pharaohism" is an original development that demonstrates French rap's growing independence from US hip-hop hegemony (Prévos 1996:719, 721-722). According to Akhenaton, the name IAM (standing for Imperial Asiatic Men)33 was chosen after he read Senegalese writer Cheikh Anta Diop, one of Afrocentrism's leading theorists, who spurred a pre-existing interest in the Asiatic Middle East as the origin of the monotheistic religions and in Egypt as the (Black) cradle of civilization.

  • ABOUT the Artists ABOUT the Performance
    ABOUT THE ARTISTS The Nile Project is a collaborative group of musicians, educators and activists who work together to build awareness about and generate new ideas to address environmental challenges in the Nile River basin. It was founded in August 2011 by Egyptian ethnomusicologist Mina Girgis and Ethiopian-American singer Meklit Hadero, who both feel passionately about the power of music to make a difference in the Nile region. The 437 million citizens of the 11 nations in the Nile River basin do not have many opportunities to connect with each other. Girgis and Hadero believe that these countries must work together to solve the environmental challenges facing the Nile River, such as food sustainability, climate change, water policy and pollution. The Nile Project brings together musicians from the Nile countries to make new songs and tour around the region and beyond, sharing the music and cultures of their river neighbors. Another strategy the Nile Project takes is education, working with universities to hold workshops that provide students with opportunities to learn more about the Nile River and develop ideas to create a more sustainable Nile Basin. The organization also offers a Nile Prize, which provides students a way to turn their inspiration and environmental knowledge into new and exciting sustainable solutions for the Nile ecosystem. In 2015 The Nile Project tours the United States for four months, bringing music and education programs to American universities and towns. The Project aims to inspire and educate citizens around the world to work together for environmental sustainability. About the PERFORMANCE The Nile Project performs original music that was composed collaboratively by all the participating artists.

  • ARABIC MUSIC Devin J Stewart, Ph.D
    HUMANITIES INSTITUTE ARABIC MUSIC Devin J Stewart, Ph.D. Arabic Musical Traditions Instruments. Music is one of the most complex, varied, and ubiquitous aspects of cultural production in the Arab worlds. It is found even in the most conservative communities. In Arabic music, drums are the most important instruments for dancing and group singing such as wedding songs, and the lute is the most important for accompanying solo singing. Other traditional instruments include the mizmar, similar to an oboe, various types of flute called nay or kawala, a rabab or spike fiddle, and the qanun or zither. In modern times, the violin has replaced the rabab in many contexts. The piano was introduced and adapted, the electric guitar came and went, and the synthesizer and drum machine are now standard in pop music. Distinguishing features. Arabic music is readily distinguished from Western music by several factors. It has distinct rhythms, usually played on a variety of ceramic or frame drum, and represented by a series of heavy and light strokes termed dum and tak. While a few of the most common rhythms fit into a 4-4 bar, many are more complex, having 7, 9, or 13 beats. The popular rhythms in the Middle East are distinguished from those found in Iran—where 6/8 rhythms are the most popular—and from rhythms in areas where sub- Saharan African influence is strong, such as the Gulf and Morocco, where 3 on 2 rhythms (i.e., two simultaneous rhythms) are popular. The equivalent of Western key signatures or scales are called maqams or modes, of which dozens exist, each with a name such as rast, saba, nahawand, and so on.

    harveybrough. NATACHA ATLAS - ANA HINA 2008 WORLD VILLAGE - HARMONIA MUNDI HARVEY BROUGH: PRODUCER, ARRANGER GUARDIAN DAILY MIRROR harveybrough.com harveybrough. TIME OUT OBSERVER SONGLINES harveybrough.com harveybrough. BBC - WORLD REVIEW 03/11/2008 - MARTIN LONGLEY Singer Natacha Atlas is now recording in London rather than Cairo, but perversely this is her most traditionally Arabic album, at least in terms of its nostalgia. Working with musical director Harvey Brough, she's chosen a classicist acoustic approach, as opposed to her usual electronic reinventions of Middle Eastern and North African sounds. Natacha's fluttering voice is very prominent in the mix, allowing the space to savour every detail of her ornamented phrasing. Around half of the songs have a 1940s or 50s aura, sensitively interpreted by an orchestra of serpentine strings, ney flute, oud, percussion and a horn section that includes Julian Siegel. The Egyptian star Gamal Al Kordy makes a notable contribution on accordion; an apt inclusion given his involvement in many of the original recordings of these songs. It's not all Arabic traditionalism, though. The Atlas/Brough songwriting partnership has produced four originals and a pair of arrangements, which revisit ancient folk forms, both Western and Eastern. Two of the originals possess strange echoes of other songs, with the title track evoking both Jacques Brel and James Brown's It's A Man's World. A reading of Black Is The Colour follows Nina Simone's formula; just voice, piano and strings, sung in English. There's also an eerie version of a Frida Kahlo poem, in its original Spanish, sung as a duo with baroque guitarist and oud player Clara Sanabras, who this time opts for a pinging ukulele.
