  • Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders' Work with Gnawa
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “A Look Outwards, A Look Inwards”: Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders’ Work with Gnawa Musicians A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Masters of Art in African American Studies by Alfredo Rivera 2017 © Copyright by Alfredo Rivera 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS “Looking Outwards, Looking Inwards”: Randy Weston and Pharoah Sanders’ Work with Gnawa Musicians by Alfredo Rivera Master of Arts in African American Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robin Davis Gibran Kelley, Chair In 1968, Randy Weston became the first western musician to relocate to Morocco and work with the Gnawa M’Alem, master healers and musicians whose ancestral roots can be traced to ancient empire of Ghana. Pharoah Sanders has performed and recorded with Gnawa musicians since at least the early 1990s. This thesis looks at how these two artists independently engaged Gnawa music, tradition and spirituality, and the impact their collaborations had on their own work. Neither artist was driven by commercial interests or a nostalgic desire to return to their African roots. Instead, as I will demonstrate through musical description and analysis of significant recordings and video performances, their collaborations with the Gnawa musicians generated musical innovation while paying heed to tradition, providing a particularly rich case study of musical transculturation, rehistoricization, and the use of imagination across the Black Atlantic. ii The thesis of Alfredo Rivera is approved.

  • O Think I Actually Started Looking Forward to College Before My First Term
    o think I actually started looking forward to college before my first term. T It must’ve been because I was 18 and eager to forge ahead into the bright future, or at least get away from my parents. “Good,” Dad laughed. “It means we did our job right.” Still, returning to the grind after a dozen years of mandatory government school? And Dad, who “saw the coarse metal of sham and pretense beneath the showy gilding of learning,”1 had forewarned me enough over the years with his college stories. College wasn’t and isn’t even intrinsically necessary to be a reporter,2 but I wasn’t 1 Mencken, H.L. The Philosophy of Friedrich Neitzsche. Boston: Colonial Press, 1908: 28. 2 Ferguson, Andrew. Crazy U: One Dad’s Crash Course in Getting His Kid Into College. New York City: Simon & Schuster, 2011: 176-177. visionary enough or strong-willed enough to eschew the conventional path.3 A standard complaint about college, then and now, is how the institution has been captured by those hostile to our civilization and turned into an indoctrination center to brainwash students into stormtroopers who’ll capture the other institutions, then the rest of the country, and impose a statist dystopia. I arrived about six months before the kulturkampf of the early ‘90s really burst open on my campus, and I observed enough that supported such a complaint. The underreported story, though, was how money grubbing the college was underneath all the pious pontificating.4 In retrospect, perhaps I should’ve tried obtaining my bachelor’s degree from a diploma mill for a fraction of what my alma mater charged.5 Especially with tuition increasing every term, and the administration pleading poverty.6 Little of the required coursework for my degree dealt with my chosen career.
