Forholdet Mellom Tradisjonell Musikk Og Moderne Afrikansk Popmusikk I N'gaoundéré, Kamerun - forholdet mellom tradisjonell musikk og moderne afrikansk popmusikk i N'gaoundéré, Kamerun. Musikk, bruk og funksjon, holdninger. Masteroppgave i musikkvitenskap, Universitet i Oslo Jon Einar Hagen Våren 2008 1 Forord A desa desa betyr ”gå forsiktig, ikke ha hastverk” på haussa, i følge grioten Baba Sani, en av musikerne som omtales i denne oppgaven. Jeg synes dette er en god holdning, som kan gjelde både for musikklivet i byen N'gaoundéré i Nord-Kamerun og mitt arbeid med denne oppgaven. På den annen side ønsket nok noen musikere i N'gaoundéré at utviklingen skulle gått raskere, og det gjelder også mitt arbeid med denne oppgaven… Det er mange jeg skylder takk for deres bidrag til oppgaven; først og fremst mine samarbeidspartnere og informanter i de fem musikkgruppene jeg studerte. Dessverre er tre av de sentrale informantene døde. Magalie Robert gikk bort i mai 2003, og både Moussa Babanguida og Ousmanou Kereste i januar 2005. Denne oppgaven er også til minne om dem. Videre vil jeg takke Vakoté Dieudonné, hans bror Kodji Thomas og resten av familien for at jeg fikk bo hos dem i N'gaoundéré under feltarbeidet våren 2000. Vakoté var også, sammen med Waka Daniel og Vegard Nygård, med i teamet jeg jobbet med i Kamerun i 1996-97. Det var et flott år som ga meg lyst til å komme tilbake for å lære mer. Eric Christian Sam Dall’Epem II satte meg i kontakt med folk og hjalp meg med mange ting. Mai Pascal Nkemegni og Bello Theodore hjalp meg med Gospel Singers sin musikk. Det Norske Misjonsselskap hadde flere misjonærer i N'gaoundéré, og jeg vil spesielt takke Dag Tormod Milje, Janne Eide, Lise Tørnby, Stein Erik Febakke, Erik Sandvik og Ellen Eliassen. Jeg vil også rette en stor takk til familien min for all mulig slags hjelp, lån av datautstyr og tilhørende ”utvidet brukerstøtte”. Ikke minst vil jeg takker veilederen min, Jan Sverre Knudsen, for interesse, gode tips og konstruktiv kritikk. Og til slutt en takk til alle som har mast på meg for å få oppgaven ferdig – det hjalp ikke så mye.

  • Université De Montréal Étude Du Syncrétisme De L'assiko À Travers Le
    Université de Montréal Étude du syncrétisme de l’assiko à travers le geste et le foyer socioculturel d’un guitariste Bassa. par Luke Fowlie Département de Musicologie , Faculté de Musique. Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maitrise en musicologie, option ethnomusicologie. 21 Aout 2015 Copyright, Luke Fowlie, 2015. i Resumé This master’s thesis is concerned with the role of musical gesture in the development of musical styles that have become syncretic. It seeks to define in detail the popular guitar style of assiko, particular to the Bassa of Southern Cameroon, as represented internationally by the guitarist and traditionally initiated percussionist, Atna Njock. Through a dialogic and participative approach, the techniques that underlie assiko guitar playing are explored by comparison with European, African American, and African examples. The influences that define Atna’s playing are contextualized within Bassa culture, with its troubled history of colonial and missionary influence, and elaborated by an account of his particular musical philosophy (or spirituality) and background. The participatory approach provides an emic perspective, meaning internal to the culture, of assiko playing technique and structure while subjecting the musician’s statements to our own analytical scrutiny. The comparison with the various percussion instruments on which Atna was initiated demonstrates how these instruments shaped his guitar playing. His role as “guarantor” of Bassa musical tradition underlies his approach to music, which manifests as a particular concern for “authenticity” in the reproduction of the rhythms of a given musical “language”. His connection to Bassa culture is ultimately expressed through his reproduction of the playing style of his master, originator of modern assiko, Jean Bikoko “Aladin”.

  • African Popular Music Ensemble Tuesdays (7:20 PM-9:10 PM) at the School of Music Dr
    1 FALL 2021 MUN 1xxx - section TBA World Music Ensemble – African Popular Music Ensemble Tuesdays (7:20 PM-9:10 PM) at the School of Music Dr. Sarah Politz, [email protected] Office: Yon Hall 435 Office hours: TBA Credits: 1.0 credit hours The African Popular Music Ensemble will specialize in the popular music of the African continent, with a special focus on Afrobeat, highlife, soukous, African jazz, and the brass band traditions of Africa and the diaspora. Together we will listen to, perform, and arrange music from the works of Fela Kuti (Nigeria), Salif Keita (Mali), Hugh Masekela, Abdullah Ibrahim, Miriam Makeba (South Africa), Mulatu Astatke (Ethiopia), and the Gangbe Brass Band of Benin. Instrumentation will vary based on personnel each semester, and will typically include a rhythm section, horn section, and vocal soloists. The ensemble will also draw on the participation of faculty performers, as well as guest artists specializing in African popular music from the community and beyond. These collaborations will contribute to the diversity of musical and cultural experiences related to Africa that are available to students throughout the semester. Course Objectives The African Popular Music Ensemble is dedicated to learning African culture through musical performance. After completion of this course, students will be able to perform in a variety of African popular music styles on their instrument. These skills will be developed through a combination of listening to recordings, developing skills in listening and blending within the ensemble, and individual study and practice outside of rehearsals. Students who wish to develop their skills in improvisation will have many opportunities to do so.

    About Talented Cameroonians at Home and Abroad N° 010 JUNE 2008 Les NUBIANS Sam Fan Thomas Ekambi Brillant Salle John Jacky Biho Majoie Ayi Prince Nico Mbarga BENGA Martin Directeur Général elcome, my Dear Readers to the 10th Issue of your favourite E-Magazine that brings talented Cameroonians every month to your Desktop. W In this colourful Issue, we take you into the world of Cameroonian Music to meet those talented ladies and gentlemen whose voices and rhythms have kept us dancing and singing for generations. Every Cameroonian has his/her own daily repertoire of Cameroonian hits that he/she hums all day at work, at home, at school and other places. Over the radio, on TV and the internet, we watch our talented musicians spill off traditional rhythms that have been modernized to keep us proud of more than 240 tribes from ten provinces that make up Cameroon. For a start, let’s take you to Tsinga Yaounde to watch Ekambi Brillant, Jacky Biho, Salle John and Sam Fan Thomas on stage at Chez Liza et Christopher. To get a touch of world music we go to France to watch Les Nubians. We return to Yaounde to join Ottou Marcelin, Ateh Bazor, Le- Doux Marcellin, Patou Bass, Atango de Manadjama, Majoie Ayi, LaRosy Akono and several others to celebrate the World Music Day in a live con- cert that was organised by CRTV FM94 on June 21 2008 at the May 20 Boulevard. How many music genres are there in Cameroon? We attempt to answer that question by taking you around, in a world of rhythms that you know so well: makossa, bikutsi, zingué, ambassbay, bendskin, bottledance, assiko, tchamassi, makassi, Zeke Zeke and hope to see you dancing while you go through our attempt to explain their origins and present their promoters.

  • The Trans-Atlantic Journey of Gumbé: Where and Why Has It Survived?
    128 JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LIBRARY OF AFRICAN MUSIC THE TRANS-ATLANTIC JOURNEY OF GUMBÉ: WHERE AND WHY HAS IT SURVIVED? by RACHEL JACKSON Th e word ‘gumbé’ is extremely diffi cult to defi ne. Gumbé can refer to a specifi c drum, dance, rhythm or social context. For the purposes of my research I defi ne gumbé as both a drum and a genre of dance-music. Ultimately the drum and the genre are inherently linked: tracing the transatlantic journey of the gumbé drum illuminates varying conceptions of gumbé as a genre. Th is ethnographic paper fi nds that gumbé survives where a Creole society, made from a specifi c trio of peoples, has emerged. Th e above conclusion is signifi cant because it challenges overly simplistic models of change that are oft en applied to the development of popular music in Africa. Ultimately, the study of gumbé proves that creolization fostered the proliferation of a modern, non-traditional popular music long before the arrival of the foreign music industry in Africa. Th e gumbé is a square frame drum that originated in the Maroon (runaway slave) communities of Jamaica during the eighteenth century. Since the escaped slaves were African, it is safe to assume that the gumbé was modelled on various pre-slavery African drums. In 1793 and 1795 the Jamaican Maroons staged two uprisings. Th ese events instilled fear into the British administration, who were increasingly anxious of a Jamaican revolt that would mirror the successful Haitian slave rebellion of 1793. In 1795 the British authorities responded to the mounting tension and deported 550 of the rebellious Maroons from Jamaica to Nova Scotia.
