  • (Re-)Translating Unity and Reconciliation in Post-Genocide Rwanda
    Gregory Barz Music and (re-)translating unity and reconciliation in post-genocide Rwanda First submission: 25 January 2012 Acceptance: 12 November 2012 This article focuses on the ability of a historically important musical instrument in the East African country of Rwanda, the inanga, to contribute to the (re-)translation of issues related to unity and reconciliation efforts after the genocide of 1994. By concentrating on the transmission of tradition from Kirusu Thomas to Sophie Nzayisenga, from father to daughter, I underscore the significant changes in cultural contexts for historical and contemporary inanga performance while also positioning the instrument within the dominant cultural metaphors of ‘blockage’ and ‘flow’. Throughout the article, I draw on inanga song texts to demonstrate the role of the inanga as cultural translator. Musiek en die (her-)vertaling van eenheid en versoening in post-menseslagting Rwanda Hierdie artikel fokus op die potensiaal van ’n geskiedkundig belangrike musiekinstrument in die Oos-Afrikaland van Rwanda, die inanga, om by te dra tot die (her-)vertaling van vraagstukke wat verband hou met pogings tot eenheid en versoening na die menseslagting van 1994. Deur my konsentrasie op die oordrag van tradisie van Kirusu Thomas na Sophie Nzayisenga, van pa na dogter, beklemtoon ek die betekenisvolle veranderinge in kulturele kontekste vir historiese en hedendaagse inanga-uitvoering, terwyl ek terselfdertyd die instrument binne die heersende kultuurmetafore van ‘blokkasie’ en ‘vloei’ posisioneer.

  • Directory of Agricultural R&D Agencies in 31 African Countries
    sustainable solutions for ending hunger and poverty Supported by the CGIAR ASTI Directory of Agricultural R&D Agencies in 31 African Countries April 2011 ABOUT ASTI The Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) initiative compiles, processes, and disseminates data on institutional developments and investments in worldwide agricultural R&D, and analyzes and reports on these trends. Tracking these developments in ways that facilitate meaningful comparisons among different countries, types of agencies, and points in time is critical for keeping policymakers abreast of science policy issues pertaining to agriculture. The main objective of the ASTI initiative is to assist policymakers and donors in making better informed decisions about the funding and operation of public and private agricultural science and technology agencies by making available internationally comparable information on agricultural research investments and institutional changes. Better-informed decisions will improve the efficiency and impact of agricultural R&D systems and ultimately enhance productivity growth of the agriculture sector. The ASTI initiative is managed by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and involves collaborative alliances with many national and regional R&D agencies, as well as international institutions. The initiative, which is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with additional support from IFPRI, is widely recognized as the most authoritative source of information on the support for and structure of agricultural R&D worldwide. ASTI data and associated reports are made freely available for research policy formulation and priority-setting purposes (http://www.asti.cgiar.org). ABOUT IFPRI The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI®) was established in 1975 to identify and analyze alternative national and international strategies and policies for meeting food needs of the developing world on a sustainable basis, with particular emphasis on low-income countries and on the poorer groups in those countries.

  • The Akazehe of Burundi: Polyphonic Interlocking Greetings and the Female Ceremonial
    The Akazehe of Burundi: Polyphonic Interlocking Greetings and the Female Ceremonial Serena Facci / University of Rome “Tor Vergata” Translated by Alessandra Ciucci / Columbia University Manuscript Editor: Alessandra Ciucci / Columbia University General Editor: Richard K. Wolf / Harvard University Editorial Assistant: Catherine Mullen / Indiana University Bloomington Abstract Akazehe is one of the names in Burundi for forms of sung greeting performed exclusively by women. Studies carried out during the colonial era (in particular Rodegem 1965, 1973) and in more recent times (Ndimurwanko 1985-6) have shown how the contents of these greetings among women are closely linked to the feminine world in which these greetings are used—in specific private and public spaces in accordance with rural tradition. Although these greetings were becoming less common at the time the research for this article was conducted, the author was able to record a number of akazehe after listening to examples of them in the sound archives of the Centre de civilisation burundaise. A greeting is defined by linguists as a formalized parenthesis that defines, reiterates, and encloses the relation between two participants. The formulaic character of a greeting makes it different from ordinary speech. In the case of the akazehe, the greeting emphasizes gestural and sound qualities to such an extent that it creates a veritable musical texture. This article presents transcriptions and analysis of some models of akazehe, focusing on one that features procedures of vocal interlocking. The two parts—gutera and kwakira—are organized according to musical rules that manifest a strong spirit of cooperation between the two women who sing the two parts in dialogue.

II. Background Information “These peoples [the “Pygmies” and pastoralist peoples] still suffer discrimination experienced through the dispossession of their land and destruction of their livelihoods, cultures and identities, extreme poverty, lack of access to and participation in political decision-making and lack of access to education and health facilities.”1 Cameroon is home to one of the most diverse environments in Africa, with regions that have an equatorial monsoon climate, regions with a tropical humid climate, and regions with a tropical arid climate. Cameroon became an independent, sovereign nation in 1960 and a united one (when East and West Cameroon were united) in 1961.2 Cameroon has a population of over 22 million people.

  • Introduction
    Introduction There are few art forms as intrinsically political as palace architecture. As both residence as well as the structure within which political decision-making occurs, the palace commonly constitutes the public identity of a ruler. Palaces in northern Cameroon also provide venues for judicial proceedings and con- tain prison cells, amongst other potential functions. In addition to the ruler himself, the palace is generally inhabited by his wives and concubines, their female servants, and a number of male guards. The vast majority of these resi- dents usually derive from local, indigenous populations, while the ruler is of the ruling Fulɓe ethnicity.1 It is through the lens of ethnicity that the archi- tecture of this region has largely been viewed. In contrast, by focusing on the late nineteenth-century palace of Ngaoundéré, capital of Adamaoua Region, and with subsidiary research conducted at fourteen other palaces constructed since the early nineteenth century in Adamaoua and North Regions, this study considers the palace architecture of northern Cameroon as central to the for- mation of political authority in ways that cross ethnic boundaries. The majority of the research area for this study may be divided into a series of political entities, commonly referred to as lamidats, with Fulɓe leaders at the helm. The specific communities ruled by these leaders, or laamiiɓe (pl., sing. laamiiɗo) are composed of a politically dominant Fulɓe population, but who are a numeric minority amongst a number of other local identities, in- cluding most notably the Mboum, Dìì, Gbaya, Vouté, Namchi, Fali, Péré, and Bata. The suzerainty of the Fulɓe was established in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries after they arrived in the region from what are now northeastern Nigeria and southern Tchad.

  • An Atlas of Nigerian Languages
    AN ATLAS OF NIGERIAN LANGUAGES 3rd. Edition Roger Blench Kay Williamson Educational Foundation 8, Guest Road, Cambridge CB1 2AL United Kingdom Voice/Answerphone 00-44-(0)1223-560687 Mobile 00-44-(0)7967-696804 E-mail [email protected] http://rogerblench.info/RBOP.htm Skype 2.0 identity: roger blench i Introduction The present electronic is a fully revised and amended edition of ‘An Index of Nigerian Languages’ by David Crozier and Roger Blench (1992), which replaced Keir Hansford, John Bendor-Samuel and Ron Stanford (1976), a pioneering attempt to synthesize what was known at the time about the languages of Nigeria and their classification. Definition of a Language The preparation of a listing of Nigerian languages inevitably begs the question of the definition of a language. The terms 'language' and 'dialect' have rather different meanings in informal speech from the more rigorous definitions that must be attempted by linguists. Dialect, in particular, is a somewhat pejorative term suggesting it is merely a local variant of a 'central' language. In linguistic terms, however, dialect is merely a regional, social or occupational variant of another speech-form. There is no presupposition about its importance or otherwise. Because of these problems, the more neutral term 'lect' is coming into increasing use to describe any type of distinctive speech-form. However, the Index inevitably must have head entries and this involves selecting some terms from the thousands of names recorded and using them to cover a particular linguistic nucleus. In general, the choice of a particular lect name as a head-entry should ideally be made solely on linguistic grounds.

  • Musical Performance of the Haya of Bukoba, Tanzania
    A WOMAN CAN SING AND DANCE BUT CANNOT DANCE WITH HIGH LEAPS: MUSICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE HAYA OF BUKOBA, TANZANIA by MATHAYO NDOMONDO Introduction In the area covering the present day Muleba and Bukoba Urban and Bukoba Rural Districts, as is the case in other areas where Buhaya culture is predominant in the Kagera region in Tanzania, musical performances – singing, dancing, and playing of musical instruments – are integral parts of everyday life. As is the case in many African societies, among the Haya musical performances are inseparable from the daily events and the social, political and cultural life of the community. Traditionally, events such as marriage, funerals, worship, installation, praise, and exaltation of kings (omukama), celebratory war dances (omutoro) and heroic recitations or self–praise recitations (ebyebugo), healing practices such as cleansing and chasing away evil spirits, and all occasions calling for celebration produced performances. In the contemporary Haya world, some such events (for example, war dances and installation of traditional leaders) have ceased, but the musical performances have been re-contextualized for religious, social, health and political purposes. Participation in music-making in a variety of musical genres of the Haya music- culture which are associated with secular and sacred functions is traditionally on the basis of gender, social role and category, and age of the participants. Th e war dance (omutoro) and heroic recitations (usually recited within the omutoro dance, and sometimes in other avenues) were the domains of men (Mulokozi 2002 and Ndibalema 2008). Enanga (a seven or eight string trough zither) poetic tradition, which traditionally was associated with the heroic milieu1, was also the privilege of the male bards.

  • Cameroon Pastoralists Fight for Their Way of Life
    Cameroon Pastoralists Fight for their Way of Life After years of struggles against governments and private parties, the Mbororo-Fulani are gaining international attention. But is this too little too late? ARTICLE | 19 SEPTEMBER 2013 - 11:27AM | BY KAITLIN CORDES Pastoralist Mbororo-Fulani working with cattle in the Bamenda Highlands of Cameroon. Photograph by Dave Price Pulaaku , the code of behaviour governing Mbororo-Fulani pastoralists, may be proving useful for Musa Usman Ndamba: one of its core tenants, munyal , stresses fortitude in adversity. As the Vice-President of the Mbororo Social and Cultural Development Association ( MBOSCUDA ), Ndamba advocates for the rights of Mbororo pastoralists in Cameroon. For decades, this has placed him in opposition to one of Cameroon's wealthiest men, Baba Ahmadou Danpullo. A businessman with political connections, Danpullo has been at odds with the Mbororo pastoralist community since the mid-1980s, when he established a ranch in northwest Cameroon. The massive farm, which journalist Guibaï Gatama described to Jeune Afrique as a city where a thousand cattle graze and Danpullo reigns supreme, is allegedly encroaching on communal grazing land relied on by Mbororo pastoralists. Mbororo activists have alleged a litany of other complaints as well. The allegations against Danpullo have been noted at home and abroad. In 2003, the government created a special inter-ministerial commission to investigate the conflicts between the landholder and the Mbororo of the Northwest Province, now a region . After months of work, the commissioners, who could not agree on the scope of their mandate, released two reports . Although, as one report explained, not all Mbororo seemed in conflict with Danpullo – some have chosen to live on his ranch – many remain angry.
