  • Ladysmith Black Mambazo Monday, February 16, 2004 Theater Etiquette and Experiences
    A Performing Arts Series For Children PRESENTED BY THE MADISON CIVIC CENTER Ladysmith Black Mambazo Monday, February 16, 2004 Theater Etiquette and Experiences We have a wonderful opportunity at this performance to help youth learn about attending live performances. Sometimes young people do not realize how a live performance differs from watching a movie or television show. Please discuss the following with your students: 1. A live presentation has not been pre-recorded with the mistakes edited out. This makes it riskier for the performer and more exciting for the audience. It also means the audience contributes to the overall event. Each audience member affects those around him/her as well as the performer. The audience gives energy to the performer who uses that energy to give life to the performance. 2. An usher will show you where to sit. Walk slowly and talk quietly as you enter the theater. 3. If necessary, use the restroom before the performance begins. 4. Once you are seated, you may talk quietly to the people next to you until the performance begins. 5. When the lights dim, it is the signal that the performance is about to start. Stop talking and turn your attention to the stage. 6. Stay in your seat throughout the entire performance. 7. During the performance, listen quietly and watch closely. Talking during the performance will distract others around you, and the performers may think you’re not interested in the show. 8. LAUGHING IS APPROPRIATE. (Teachers, please do not hush the students while they are laughing.) If something is funny, it’s good to laugh.

  • Audiences Will Dance in Their Seats When the Grammy® Award-Winning
    March 1, 2011 Audiences will dance in their seats when the Grammy® award-winning South African ensemble Ladysmith Black Mambazo returns for a special one-night-only performance at the Annenberg Center Performance to include selections from the just released CD Songs from a Zulu Farm (Philadelphia, March 1, 2011) — Audiences will delight in the gentle, uplifting and intoxicating harmonies of the all-male a capella South African ensemble Ladysmith Black Mambazo when they return to the Annenberg Center stage for a special one-night-only performance on Friday, March 18 at 8:00 PM. The group will perform hits from their just released album Songs from a Zulu Farm, a collection of songs about growing up on the farm in South Africa, considered Ladysmith’s most personal album to date. Tickets for Ladysmith Black Mambazo are $20-$60. For tickets or for more information, please visit www.AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. Songs From A Zulu Farm, released on February 1, 2011, is a collection of South African children’s songs filled with lessons and sentiments that members of the group would have heard and sung themselves as children growing up on Zulu farms. Of the album Ladysmith founder and frontman Joseph Shabalala has said, “These are songs from the earliest time in our lives. When we sing these songs, we're singing from our personal history. We hope that these songs sung to South African children can be enjoyed by families in many other places in the world.” In 2010, Ladysmith Black Mambazo celebrated forty years of joyous and uplifting music that marries the intricate rhythms and harmonies of their native South African musical traditions to the sounds and sentiments of Christian gospel music.

  • THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg
    THE FIRST FORTY YEARS INTRODUCTION by Susan Stamberg Shiny little platters. Not even five inches across. How could they possibly contain the soundtrack of four decades? How could the phone calls, the encounters, the danger, the desperation, the exhilaration and big, big laughs from two score years be compressed onto a handful of CDs? If you’ve lived with NPR, as so many of us have for so many years, you’ll be astonished at how many of these reports and conversations and reveries you remember—or how many come back to you (like familiar songs) after hearing just a few seconds of sound. And you’ll be amazed by how much you’ve missed—loyal as you are, you were too busy that day, or too distracted, or out of town, or giving birth (guess that falls under the “too distracted” category). Many of you have integrated NPR into your daily lives; you feel personally connected with it. NPR has gotten you through some fairly dramatic moments. Not just important historical events, but personal moments as well. I’ve been told that a woman’s terror during a CAT scan was tamed by the voice of Ira Flatow on Science Friday being piped into the dreaded scanner tube. So much of life is here. War, from the horrors of Vietnam to the brutalities that evanescent medium—they came to life, then disappeared. Now, of Iraq. Politics, from the intrigue of Watergate to the drama of the Anita on these CDs, all the extraordinary people and places and sounds Hill-Clarence Thomas controversy.

  • NPR COOKS up a NEW SERIES the Hidden Kitchens Project: Stories of Land, Kitchen & Community Fridays on Morning Edition from October 1-December 24
    National Public Radio Telephone: 202.513.2000 635 Massachusetts Ave, NW Facsimile: 202.513.3045 Washington, DC 20001-3753 http://www.npr.org For Immediate Release September 29, 2004 Fred Baldassaro, 202-513-2304 / [email protected] Jenny Lawhorn, 202.513.2754 / [email protected] NPR COOKS UP A NEW SERIES The Hidden Kitchens Project: Stories of Land, Kitchen & Community Fridays on Morning Edition from October 1-December 24 A New Radio Series from Peabody Award-Winning Producers The Kitchen Sisters (Nikki Silva & Davia Nelson) and Jay Allison WASHINGTON, DC – This fall, NPR presents a new series that brings the lure of food and vitality of kitchens to the radio. “The Hidden Kitchens Project,” a baker’s dozen of stories about how people come together through food, will air on NPR’s Morning Edition each Friday, from October 1 through December 24, 2004. “Hidden Kitchens” opens a door to the world of unusual, historic and hidden kitchens—street corner cooking and legendary meals from across the country. The series chronicles an array of kitchen rituals and traditions, from kitchens tucked away in carwashes and bowling alleys to clambakes and church suppers. The stories feature an eclectic gathering of famous and everyday folks who find, grow, cook, sell, celebrate and think about food. Produced by The Kitchen Sisters (Nikki Silva & Davia Nelson) and Jay Allison, “The Hidden Kitchens Project” is a nationwide collaboration that includes radio producers, community cooks, street vendors, grandmothers, chefs, anthropologists, foragers, public radio listeners and more. As with two previous award-winning series “Lost & Found Sound” and “The Sonic Memorial Project,” Hidden Kitchens invites listeners to participate by calling or writing with their own stories of significant and unusual kitchens, family food traditions, community ceremonies and recipes.

  • David Menconi
    David Menconi “But tonight, we’re experiencing something much more demented. Something much more American. And something much more crazy. I put it to you, Bob: Goddammit, what’s goin’ on?” —Dexter Romweber, “2 Headed Cow” (1986) (Or as William Carlos Williams put it 63 years earlier: “The Pure Products of America/Go crazy.”) To the larger world outside the Southeastern college towns of Chapel Hill and Athens, Flat Duo Jets’ biggest brush up against the mainstream came with the self-titled first album comprising the heart of this collection. That was 1990’s “Flat Duo Jets,” a gonzo blast of interstellar rockabilly firepower that turned Jack White, X’s Exene Cervenka and oth- er latterday American underground-rock stars into fans and acolytes. In its wake, the Jets toured America with The Cramps and played “Late Night with David Letterman,” astounding audiences with rock ’n’ roll as pure and uncut as anybody was making in the days B.N. (Before Nirvana). But that kind of passionate devotion was nothing new for the Jets. For years, they’d been turning heads and blowing minds in their Chapel Hill home- town as a veritable rite of passage for music-scene denizens of a certain age. Just about everyone in town from that era has a story about happening across the Jets in their mid-’80s salad days, often performing in some terri- bly unlikely place – record store, coffeeshop, hallway, even the middle of the street – channeling some far-off mojo that seemed to open portals to the past and future at the same time.
