  • 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.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

  • Relationship with Percussion Instruments

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.

Numbering 95.9 lakhs of persons and constituting 22.85 % of the State's population as per 2011 census, the tribal people showcase a rainbow of material culture and cultural trappings, which are held beautifully in an ethnic kaleidoscope. One can see them in different stages of mainstreaming, but the inbuilt ethnicity is still there, reflecting the vibes of tribal world in their culturally significant objects, indigenous knowledge and technology, settlement pattern, house types, mode of subsistence, food habits, adornments, languages, dances, music, belief systems and shrines, social organizations, customary laws, paintings and traditional practices of health and hygiene. In each aspect, the aesthetic manifestation is blended inclusively with its utilitarian and culture specific motifs. The indigenous tools, technologies, weapons, basketry, pottery, textiles, dress, ornaments, ritual objects are losing meaning to the new generation. Therefore, protection and preservation of these tools, appliances and material traits in the museum has become a necessity to know the antecedents of human life and living.

    TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE New! Africa in Depth: Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya & Tanzania 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 14) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Small Groups on the Road Less Traveled in Over 85 Countries 1 Overseas Adventure Travel® 347 Congress Street, Boston, MA 02210 Dear Traveler, We’ve always felt that real travel is about meeting new people and discovering unfamiliar cultures—elements that are at the heart of every O.A.T. adventure. That’s why when you join us on our Out of Africa: Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya & Tanzania Small Group Adventure, we’ll go beyond the iconic sites and into the true heart of Africa thanks to our small groups of just 8-16 travelers (with an average of 14). Plus, an African Trip Experience Leader will reveal their country’s hidden wonders and help us discover its essence like only a local can. And throughout our explorations, we’ll meet local people where they live, work, and shop to get an intimate glimpse into the real Africa, not just a surface view. During our A Day in the Life experience in Kenya, we’ll spend time in a Maasai village, getting to know the daily lives of the local tribespeople, and perhaps visiting the local village school when in session. And in Botswana, we’ll alsomeet the women of Mabele Village, who will demonstrate their traditional basket-weaving techniques for us, and we may even get to try our hand at their craft. We understand that no two travelers are the same.

  • The Ecology of Cheetahs and Other Large Carnivores in a Pastoralist-Dominated Buffer Zone
    The ecology of cheetahs and other large carnivores in a pastoralist-dominated buffer zone By Thomas M. Maddox Ph.D. Thesis Department of Anthropology, University College, London & Institute of Zoology, London 2003 “No wild animals are really bad as you will be alone without them. It is good just to see and be happy” (Iltiyogoni laigwanan, Loliondo). 2 Summary Due to the various limitations of core-protected areas, interest in semi-protected landscapes and the human-wildlife interactions that occur within them is rapidly gaining credence. Some of the most important issues within this field are human- carnivore relationships, with many large carnivores globally threatened on one hand but with the capability of potentially devastating impacts on humans on the other. In this thesis, the success of cheetahs, their competitors and their predators in two buffer zones (Loliondo and Ngorongoro) of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was examined in comparison with populations living inside the park. The potential role played in carnivore ecology by the Maasai pastoralists inhabiting the buffer zones was then examined to assess the extent to which their presence determines any of the differences. The results show that large carnivores and their prey are surviving successfully outside the core-protected area, coexisting with the pastoralist Maasai. Herbivores were shown to exist at equivalent diversity and density outside the park, with the two- 2 year average prey biomass significantly higher in Loliondo than inside the park (χ 2= 49, p<0.001). The only species consistently more abundant inside the park were kongoni, topi and warthog. However, temporal variation was large and the system was better described as a single, dynamic entity rather than three distinct and comparable sites.
