UMS EDUCATION ARTISTIC STATEMENT Throughout his four-decade career, Oliver Mtukudzi’s music has given voice to peace and reconciliation in Zimbabwe. His music, much of which features themes of nonviolence, democracy, and tolerance, expresses Mtukudzi’s belief that peace will triumph over violence on the African continent. Early in his career, Mtukudzi (often called “Tuku” by his fans) engaged in musical protest against British rule in Zimbabwe, then called Rhodesia. His songs expressed the suffering of the country’s majority black population, with lyrics addressing the pain of discrimination, hatred, and poverty. Following independence in 1979, Mtukudzi has continued to speak about injustice, political corruption, and social issues in Zimbabwe and throughout the world. The censorship of the oppressive Rhodesian regime and corruption in civil government since independence forced Mtukudzi to master a unique form of protest: he refrains from direct political criticism and instead uses metaphor to communicate his ideas. “The beauty of the Shona language is that it is endowed with all those rich idioms and metaphor,” he says. “And the beauty of art is that you can use the power of language to craft particular meaning without necessarily giving it away.” UMS is thrilled to present Mtukudzi because his ability to advocate for peace while displaying exceptional musical skill reminds the world of the importance and power of music. 8 LEARN WHY?

This is not just about saying “please” and “thank you;” rather, it’s like an unspoken agreement you have with everyone else in the performance space, to be thoughtful and considerate in what you do so that everyone can fully engage with the unique and exciting live performance experience.

  • African Drumming in Drum Circles by Robert J
    African Drumming in Drum Circles By Robert J. Damm Although there is a clear distinction between African drum ensembles that learn a repertoire of traditional dance rhythms of West Africa and a drum circle that plays primarily freestyle, in-the-moment music, there are times when it might be valuable to share African drumming concepts in a drum circle. In his 2011 Percussive Notes article “Interactive Drumming: Using the power of rhythm to unite and inspire,” Kalani defined drum circles, drum ensembles, and drum classes. Drum circles are “improvisational experiences, aimed at having fun in an inclusive setting. They don’t require of the participants any specific musical knowledge or skills, and the music is co-created in the moment. The main idea is that anyone is free to join and express himself or herself in any way that positively contributes to the music.” By contrast, drum classes are “a means to learn musical skills. The goal is to develop one’s drumming skills in order to enhance one’s enjoyment and appreciation of music. Students often start with classes and then move on to join ensembles, thereby further developing their skills.” Drum ensembles are “often organized around specific musical genres, such as contemporary or folkloric music of a specific culture” (Kalani, p. 72). Robert Damm: It may be beneficial for a drum circle facilitator to introduce elements of African music for the sake of enhancing the musical skills, cultural knowledge, and social experience of the participants. PERCUSSIVE NOTES 8 JULY 2017 PERCUSSIVE NOTES 9 JULY 2017 cknowledging these distinctions, it may be beneficial for a drum circle facilitator to introduce elements of African music (culturally specific rhythms, processes, and concepts) for the sake of enhancing the musi- cal skills, cultural knowledge, and social experience Aof the participants in a drum circle.

Building a Relationship with Percussion Instruments Bill Matney, Kalani Das, & Michael Marcionetti Materials used with permission by Sarsen Publishing and Kalani Das, 2017 Building a relationship with percussion instruments Going somewhere new can be exciting; it might also be a little intimidating or cause some anxiety. If I go to a party where I don’t know anybody except the person who invited me, how do I get to know anyone else? My host will probably be gracious enough to introduce me to others at the party. I will get to know their name, where they are from, and what they commonly do for work and play. In turn, they will get to know the same about me. We may decide to continue our relationship by learning more about each other and doing things together. As music therapy students, we develop relationships with music instruments. We begin by learning instrument names, and by getting to know a little about the instrument. We continue our relationship by learning technique and by playing music with them! Through our experiences and growth, we will be able to help clients develop their own relationships with instruments and music, and therefore be able to 1 strengthen the therapeutic process.

  • PERFORMER ROLE CODES Role Code
    PERFORMER ROLE CODES To help calculate the share of revenues that individual performers should receive from use of a sound recording, a performer is assigned a contributor category and role code. Role codes are split into a number of types – not all of which are eligible for payment. Each type is further sorted into different instrumental, vocal or studio personnel performances, so that it is easy to identify what each performer contributed to a sound recording. Payable roles are generally ones which provide an audible contribution to the final sound recording. Non-payable roles are generally studio activities which add no audible contribution to the final sound recording. PAYABLE ROLES There are a number of payable roles. These are broken down into groups depending on the activity or instrument being played. See below all of the roles within each group.

  • I Traditional African Music
    I Traditional African Music Brothers and sisters, the white man has brainwashed us black people to fasten our gaze upon a blond-haired, blue-eyed Jesus! —Malcolm X European and European-American art galleries display African art, but they usually fail to name the artists. They credit tribes or regions with the production of works of art, but rarely were these artifacts created by more than one person. Similarly, they pay scant attention to the history of the regions from which African art emerges. This suggests that museums, like zoos, are interested primarily with the ownership of African art (and the profit that can be made) and hold less concern for the African people who produced the art. Although we know the names of a significant number of modern African American innovators, the music business remains conspicuously more concerned with profit than with the welfare of their artists. The legacy of exploitation and bigotry that the slave era ushered forth left indelible imprints on the entire history of Global African music. Relatively few readers interested in “jazz” have a general knowledge of African history. So it is important to shed at least a bit of light on what Europeans long considered the “Dark Continent.” Exploring the complex history of a continent as large and diverse as Africa within a few introductory pages is an impossible task. But it is possible to explore the origins of African people and to raise relevant questions regarding the contexts and circumstances within which “jazz” emerged and evolved. Africa Before the

  • Zimbabwean Mbira Music and Modern Spirituality in the Western United States
    Zimbabwean Mbira Music and Modern Spirituality in the Western United States Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By James Daniel Lindroth, BM Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee: Ryan Skinner, Adviser Isaac Weiner Michelle Wibbelsman Copyright by James Daniel Lindroth 2018 Abstract Zimbabwean music found its way to the Western United States through a visiting artist in the ethnomusicology department at University of Washington in the 1960s. In this paper, I look at some of the consequential musical practices that have spread throughout the United States since then. More specifically, I look the mbira dzavadzimu, a lamellophone from the Shona people of Zimbabwe, and the role its music has taken on within the North American Zimbabwean music community. I examine the ways the music also fits within movements of modern spirituality, defined by the borrowing of foreign practices as a means of accessing “spiritual experiences.” I trace a history of the instrument through the United States, as well as the spread and attention to it within both the North American musicking community and scholarship. I then describe the “spiritual” felt by mbira players and how the sociality inherent to the performance of the instrument helps define said spiritual experiences. Finally, I describe the practices of American mbira players and the ways engaging with the music authentically allows them access to heightened affective states. This document serves the purpose of showing the ways mbira dzavadzimu is positioned within modern spirituality and the idiosyncrasies of mbira performance as a spiritual practice.

  • Sub-Saharan Africa Quick Culture/History Many Areas of Sub-Saharan Africa Were Organized Into Large, Powerful Kingdoms Ruled By
    Sub-Saharan Africa Quick Culture/History Many areas of Sub-Saharan Africa were organized into large, powerful kingdoms ruled by multi- generational dynasties. Beginning in the 1500s, kingdoms and other large areas were conquered under the policies of colonialism by European governments (particularly Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands, and Britain). Colonialism allowed European governments to exploit the manpower and natural resources of their colonial holdings while also ensuring a captive market for their export products. In return, the local people were seen to be “saved” by their colonial masters through efforts to “civilize” them, which came in the sometimes positive forms of education and infrastructure but also in things such as forced cultural change, especially in regards to religion and customs. In the late 19th Century, the remainder of Africa was divided amongst the colonial powers with absolutely no regard for geography, cultural, ethnic, or historical boundaries. When these newly-formed nations gained their independence, largely in the decades following WWII until about 1980, the new nations often consisted of citizens from disparate and sometimes violently conflicting ethnic communities. Conversely, members of the same ethnic group may be split among two or more adjacent nations. In this way, it is often more useful to discuss African cultures in terms of their ethnic/cultural rather than their national identities. Music of Community It would be impossible to do just to ALL of the cultures of Sub-Saharan Africa, as the number of languages, ethnic groups, and musical traditions number in the several hundreds, possibly thousands. However, a few VERY broad generalizations may be observed: Polyrhythm- the performance of music in multiple different simultaneous meters.
