In the concert category, Coldplay, Justice, Kylie and Paul Weller all win places in the shortlist. The UK Music Video Awards editorial director, David Knight, says, “It’s a big moment for the international music video industry when the nominations for the UKMVAs are announced. As always, 100s of music video professionals have taken part in judging this year. And the industry has now spoken, picking what it regards as the best work, and the greatest individual contributions of the year. The nominations are a remarkable expression of the creativity in music videos right now – vibrant, iconoclastic, increasingly diverse. They are also confirmation of the wonderful craft and technical expertise evident in the medium – from filmmaking rookies to Oscar-winners.” The 12th annual UK Music Video Awards ceremony will be staged at the Roundhouse on 23rd October, and will be hosted once again by BUG frontman, and UKMVA regular host, Adam Buxton.

  • Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley
    For immediate release Paul Weller with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Jules Buckley concert date added to ‘Live from the Barbican’ line-up in spring 2021 Barbican Hall, Saturday 6 February 2021, 8pm The Barbican and Barbican Associate Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Orchestra are excited to announce that the orchestra and its Creative Artist in Association Jules Buckley, will be joined by legendary singer songwriter Paul Weller on Saturday 6 February for a concert reimagining Weller’s work in stunning orchestral settings as part of Live from the Barbican in 2021. In Weller’s first live performance for two years, songs spanning the broad spectrum of his career from The Jam to as yet unheard new material will delight fans and newcomers alike. Classic songs including ‘You Do Something to Me’, ‘English Rose’ and ‘Wild Wood’ along with tracks from Weller’s latest number 1 album ‘On Sunset’ will be heard as never before in brand new orchestral arrangements by Buckley. Weller, who takes cultural authenticity to the top of the charts, reunites with Steve Cradock for this one-off performance. Part of the acclaimed Live from the Barbican series which returns to the Centre in the spring, the concert will have a reduced, socially distanced live audience in the Barbican Hall, and it will also be available to watch globally via a livestream on the Barbican website. Whilst the concert will reflect on some of Weller’s back catalogue, as is typical of his constantly evolving career, it will look to the future with performances of songs from an album not released until May 2021, as well as welcoming guest artists to illustrate his work and the music that influenced him.

  • The Kano Durbar: Political Aesthetics in the Bowel of the Elephant
    Original Article The Kano Durbar: Political aesthetics in the bowel of the elephant Wendy Griswolda,* and Muhammed Bhadmusb aDepartment of Sociology, Northwestern University, 1810 Chicago Avenue, Evanston, Illinois 60208, USA. E-mail: [email protected] bDepartment of Theatre and Drama, Bayero University Kano, Kano, Nigeria. E-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author. Abstract Political aesthetics deploy theatrical techniques to unite performers and audience into a cultural community, thereby distracting from conflicts. The Kano Durbar in northern Nigeria demonstrates how the aesthetics of power can promote a place-based political culture. Although power in Kano rests on a wobbly three-legged stool of traditional, constitutional and religious authority, the status quo celebrated by the Durbar holds back ideological challengers like Boko Haram even as it perpetuates distance from the unified nation-state. The Durbar works as a social drama that helps sustain a Kano-based collective solidarity against the threats of ethnic/religious tensions and Salafist extremism. A cultural-sociological and dramaturgical analysis of the Durbar demonstrates how weak sources of power can support one another when bound together in an aesthetically compelling ritual. American Journal of Cultural Sociology (2013) 1, 125–151. doi:10.1057/ajcs.2012.8 Keywords: political aesthetics; place; social drama; Kano; Nigeria; Durbar Introduction While political rituals are expressions of power, what is less often noticed is that they are expressions of place. Bringing this insight to bear on the analysis of these rituals can reveal how they work, what exactly they accomplish, thereby resolving some of the puzzles they present. This article examines the case of the Kano Durbar, a Nigerian ritual that presents a social drama of and for Kano residents, a drama that helps sustain a sense of r 2013 Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

  • Brother Leo Bio Where Does Ola End and Brother Leo Begin? “It's A
    Brother Leo Bio Where does Ola end and Brother Leo begin? “It's a question that's been rattling around in the constantly whirring mind of the Grammy nominated Swedish artist for a while, and like all good pop mysteries, may never be solved. “Brother Leo means freedom. The name comes from a reoccurring dream I had as a kid. In the dream I had a twin brother, he was a free spirit, brave, confident and always had the answers to everything. He had superpowers and his name was Leo”. A highly respected songwriter and producer in his own right, Ola Svensson has been reborn, ready to take on the world with an impressive array of songs and emotions, as Brother Leo. “The whole idea behind creating the alias was to provide an honest and creative place that forced me outside of my comfort zone. As Brother Leo I’m able to challenge and push myself as a artist and songwriter. In a way, I can be more me”. Fuelled by his winding musical journey so far, and spurred on to dig deeper into his creative expression, Ola, channelling Brother Leo, has crafted a suite of songs that are unafraid to alchemise his emotions and experiences into bold, unabashed pop anthems. These are songs for the masses, communicating universal emotions. Be they playful like the sleek ode to love, Naked, or be they heartbreaking like the redemptive hymn, Hallelujah, or the zeitgeist critical new single, Strangers on an Island; a gold-plated banger produced by British dance music legend Fatboy Slim.
