Mit 18 erhielt sie für ihr Debut einen Grammy, 22 Jahre und etwa 100 Songs später ist sie zur Ikone geworden. Irgendwie überfordert Fiona Apple alle mit ihrer Kunst, die Plattenlabels, ihre Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer und oft genug auch sich selber. Denn Kompromisse sind nicht vorgesehen: Fiona Apple macht ihre eigene Person, ihre Verletzlichkeit, ihre psychischen Probleme und die Verwerfungen ihrer Biographie radikal zum Thema. Die Sängerin und Pianistin Gabriela Krapf ist eine grosse Bewunderin von Fiona Apple. Gemeinsam mit Annina Salis diskutiert sie ihr Werk, welches Musik und Poesie untrennbar miteinander verschmelzen lässt.

    2 3 4 5 Nadia Mladjao est née au sein d'une famille de dix enfants d'origine comorienne, d'un père pompier dans l'armée de l'air française, alors affecté à la base aérienne d'Istres. Engagée à l'âge de 17 ans par une agence de mannequins, elle part pour New York deux ans plus tard. C'est durant son séjour à New York qu'elle attrape « le virus de la musique » en écoutant Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution de Tracy Chapman, qui lui donne envie de tenter sa chance comme chanteuse. Elle commence à l'époque à prendre des cours de chant et à écrire des textes. Lassée de « faire le cintre », elle arrête sa carrière de mannequin et, après des rencontres infructueuses avec des producteurs aux États-Unis, rentre en France et débute en 2008 sur les scènes parisiennes. À l'occasion d'un passage au Sentier des Halles, elle fait la connaissance de Malik Ndiaye, déjà producteur d'Ayọ et Grace. Ayant choisi comme nom de scène Imany — signifiant « ma foi » ou « mon espoir » en arabe — elle écrit ses chansons en anglais, langue qui, pour l'écriture, lui vient « plus naturellement » que le français. Elle débute en faisant les premières parties d'artistes comme Angie Stone, Wasis Diop, Anthony Hamilton, Hocus Pocus, Sly Johnson et Ben l'Oncle Soul. En mai 2011 sort son premier album, The Shape of a Broken Heart, dont les ventes lui valent d'être certifié disque de platine, notamment grâce au succès de son premier single, You will never know.

  • The Soraya Joins Martha Graham Dance Company and Wild up for the June 19 World Premiere of a Digital Dance Creation
    The Soraya Joins Martha Graham Dance Company and Wild Up for the June 19 World Premiere of a Digital Dance Creation Immediate Tragedy Inspired by Martha Graham’s lost solo from 1937, this reimagined version will feature 14 dancers and include new music composed by Wild Up’s Christopher Rountree (New York, NY), May 28, 2020—The ongoing collaboration by three major arts organizations— Martha Graham Dance Company, the Los Angeles-based Wild Up music collective, and The Soraya—will continue June 19 with the premiere of a digital dance inspired by archival remnants of Martha Graham’s Immediate Tragedy, a solo she created in 1937 in response to the Spanish Civil War. Graham created the solo in collaboration with composer Henry Cowell, but it was never filmed and has been considered lost for decades. Drawing on the common experience of today’s immediate tragedy – the global pandemic -- the 22 artists creating the project are collaborating from locations across the U.S. and Europe using a variety of technologies to coordinate movement, music, and digital design. The new digital Immediate Tragedy, commissioned by The Soraya, will premiere online Friday, June 19 at 4pm (Pacific)/7pm (EST) during Fridays at 4 on The Soraya Facebook page, and Saturday, June 20 at 11:30am/2:30pm at the Martha Matinee on the Graham Company’s YouTube Channel. In its new iteration, Immediate Tragedy will feature 14 dancers and 6 musicians each recorded from the safety of their homes. Martha Graham Dance Company’s Artistic Director Janet Eilber, in consultation with Rountree and The Soraya’s Executive Director, Thor Steingraber, suggested the long-distance creative process inspired by a cache of recently rediscovered materials—over 30 photos, musical notations, letters and reviews all relating to the 1937 solo.

    JOHN BEASLEY GRAMMY-NOMINEE PIANIST / COMPOSER / ARRANGER ******************************************************************************************* “Beasley, the one-time keyboardist for Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, reflects a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice.” --Los Angeles Times ******************************************************************************************* BIOGRAPHY Grammy-nominated recording artist John Beasley’s music career spans three decades. LA Times jazz critic Bill Kohlhaasee describes Beasley’s music and playing as "a variety of generational influences, incorporating the emphatic chordal clusters of Herbie Hancock, the rhythmic quirkiness of Monk and the lush intelligence of Art Tatum into a highly refined personal voice.” His credits cross the spectrum of the entertainment world: performing, recording, and touring with major jazz, pop, and world artists; composing for hit-TV series; arranging for ensembles and orchestras; working on award-winning films and commercials. With the popularity of reality singing TV shows, Beasley has taken the helm as Music Director for major studio shows. Highlights of Beasley’s multi-track career include: • Pianist/Keyboardist for Miles Davis, Freddie Hubbard, Chaka Khan, Carly Simon, Christian McBride, Dianne Reeves, Kenny Garrett, Stanley Clarke, Lee Ritenour, even a stint with James Brown, Barbra Streisand,

    Revista de Estudios Norteamericanos, vol. 24, 2020. Seville, Spain, ISSN 1133-309-X, pp. 1-21. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.12795/REN.2020.i24.01 POST-POSTMODERN CINEMA AT THE TURN OF THE MILLENNIUM: PAUL THOMAS ANDERSON’S MAGNOLIA JESÚS BOLAÑO QUINTERO Universidad de Cádiz [email protected] Received: 20 May 2020 Accepted: 26 July 2020 KEYWORDS Magnolia; Paul Thomas Anderson; post-postmodern cinema; New Sincerity; French New Wave; Jean-Luc Godard; Vivre sa Vie PALABRAS CLAVE Magnolia; Paul Thomas Anderson; cine post-postmoderno; Nueva Sinceridad; Nouvelle Vague; Jean-Luc Godard; Vivir su vida ABSTRACT Starting with an analysis of the significance of the French New Wave for postmodern cinema, this essay sets out to make a study of Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia (1999) as the film that marks the beginning of what could be considered a paradigm shift in American cinema at the end of the 20th century. Building from the much- debated passing of postmodernism, this study focuses on several key postmodern aspects that take a different slant in this movie. The film points out the value of aspects that had lost their meaning within the fiction typical of postmodernism—such as the absence of causality; sincere honesty as opposed to destructive irony; or the loss of faith in Lyotardian meta-narratives. We shall look at the nature of the paradigm shift to link it to the desire to overcome postmodern values through a recovery of Romantic ideas. RESUMEN Partiendo de un análisis del significado de la Nouvelle Vague para el cine postmoderno, este trabajo presenta un estudio de Magnolia (1999), de Paul Thomas Anderson, como obra sobre la que pivota lo que se podría tratar como un cambio de paradigma en el cine estadounidense de finales del siglo XX.
