In Der Schrift Arial TT, 11Point, Mit Folgeseitennumerierung Press information 14.5.2014 Stadt Nürnberg „War and Peace“: 39th Bardentreffen Festival in Nürnberg Kulturreferat / Projektbüro On 1st August 1914, Germany declared war on Russia and on the 3rd August on France. The 39th Bardentreffen Festival in Nürnberg will be held on the days of these declarations 100 years on. For this reason, our well-known festival has chosen the theme of „War and Peace“ for this year. The festival deals with musical reflections in todays crisis- and war zones throughout the World (from Mali to Syria) and how, for instance, German speaking songwriters deal with conflicts of social, religious and military sources. Leitung Projektbüro im Kulturreferat: Herr Andreas Radlmaier Hauptmarkt 18 / V. Stock Billed for the start of the festival is a famous singer from the Middle East: 90403 Nürnberg Achinoam Nini, internationally known as Noa. In 2009, the Jewish born Tel.: 09 11 / 2 31-23 38 singer from Yemen, sang „There must be another way“ for her homeland andreas.radlmaier@ Israel together with the Palestinian Christian Mira Awad at the Eurovision stadt.nuernberg.de Song Contest. Noa often uses the stage to speak out for peace in the Projektleitung Bardentreffen Middle East. Herr Karl-Heinz Fischer Tel.: 09 11 / 2 31-33 27 The distinguished Bremer Band Die Grenzgänger searched through the Fax: 09 11 / 2 31-20 01 karl-heinz.fischer@ Folksong Archive in Freiburg for lost songs from 1914 to 1918 for their stadt.nuernberg.de program „Maikäfer flieg” (fly Ladybird) with almost every ‘musical’ trick in www.nuernberg-spielt-wagner.de the book, the four musicians present what they have found at the festival. www.nuernbergkultur.de Sparkasse Nürnberg In 2013 the based Band Tamikrest stormed to number 1 in the World BLZ 760 501 01 Music Charts with their album “Chatma”, which means „Sister“ and is Kto.-Nr. 1 010 941 IBAN: DE50760501010001010941 dedicated to the Tuareg women who have, in the worsening crisis in Mali, Swift (BIC): SSKNDE77XXX been fighting for the survival of their children and the morality of their families. Tamikrest oscillates between Desert Blues, Psychedelic, Funk and Art-Rock. With Billy Bragg we have one of the most prominent, politically ambitioned singer and songwriter on the stage. For nearly 30 years his songs have alternated between political polemic and unstoppable romantic. He is the singer of the post punk generation, but his, creative diversity goes beyond the political theme. Who better to sing about the Irish tragedy and unrest since the middle ages up to the Northern Ireland conflict than The Sands Family? The experienced immediacy of daily life in Northern Ireland is mirrored in their songs. Kai Degenhardt grew up with Folk, Rock, Punk, Wave und Reggae, but also with songs from his father Franz Josef Degenhardt. He has put Seite 2 von 4 together a special program for Nurnberg that covers the topics of (social) peace and forgotten war. Barabàn the sextet from Milan is well anchored in the Italian folk music scene. It fosters the musical culture of northern Italy, content wise it covers the work of the resistance against the fascist Italy. Critical, provocative text, Reggae, Dub and Rock: with these characteristics Dubioza Kolektiv are making a name for themselves beyond the borders of Bosnia Herzegovina. Their lyrics revolve around themes of peace, understanding and tolerance, alongside an extreme criticism of nationalism and injustice carried out in their country. In 2013 they were nominated for the MTV European Music Award. Ernst Schultz has previously dealt with the topic of war with „Ihre Kinder“ (Your Children). For his project „Dylan: Deutsch“ he translated „Masters Of War“ into „Masters of Fear “ and will present a potpourri of songs about war and peace from the past decades. Barbara Thalheim has been on the stage for 40 years and she is not unknown, especially in Nürnberg where she has performed for the festival regularly, the last time in 2007. Together with Michèle Bernard they will present a special program for the theme of „War and Peace“. For the Beirut born singer Yasmine Hamdan things are looking rosy. Her band “Soapkills” is celebrated by the critics but disdained by the Lebanese conservative powers. The name of the band is a sarcastic jibe at her fellow countrymen to wash away their bloodthirsty past. Aziza Brahim was born in the west Sahara but lives in Barcelona. This brings about cultural tensions that are mirrored in her music. Brahim is considered a prominent and eloquent speaker for the people of the Sahara and their constant battle for justice and acceptance. One of the most important representatives of the Danish Folk music scene is the 75 year old Fin Alfred Larsen. The enormous treasure trove of songs he has adopted in his life can be seen a series of four award- winning albums. It is from these albums that he will play Danish ‘workman’s’ songs and soldiers’ songs including some from the First World War. In remembrance of the beginning of WW1, the Osnabruck born Günter Gall has put together a program that attempts to build a bridge between Seite 3 von 4 the Thirty Year War, the time of the Prussians with the Seven Year War and the big wars of the 20th century right up to the “tragedy of Afghanistan” (Theodor Fontane). Liselotte Hamm et Jean-Marie Hummel round of the topic of „War and Peace“. The Alsace based musicians will present musical stories about the changing past of the French/German border region. The complete festival program will be available in June 2014. General information: Bardentreffen is the largest annual event to take place within the historic centre of Nuremberg. For its 39th edition, which takes course over three days more than 200.000 visitors of all ages gather at nine different stages to listen to world music artists as well as singer-songwriters from all over the planet for free. Over the years, Bardentreffen has become an important part of the Nuremberg cultural and music scene – and the event well known throughout the entire country. Formed in 1976 as a competition for non- professional singer-songwriters, it has turned into “the magnetic cultural event”, according to the national newspaper DIE ZEIT. Bardentreffen is a music festival that plays an important part in turning Nuremberg into the vibrant and culturally rich city it is today. “Traditions, trends, experiments”, these are the basics of the festival, which focuses on singer-songwriters and world music artists, their traditions and their latest, contemporary forms of expression.

    The speech online: www.bundespraesident.de page 1 to 7 Federal President Frank Walter Steinmeier at an honorary degree ceremony at the Lebanese University on 30 January 2018 in Beirut, Lebanon I would first like to thank you most sincerely for the great honour that it is to be awarded an honorary doctorate. And I am delighted to be able to address you on this occasion today. As some of you may know, this is not my first visit to your beautiful country. If I am not mistaken, then this is the seventh time that I have visited your city in a range of different capacities. However, I have been told that no German head of state has been to Lebanon for 120 years. And therefore I am especially pleased that this visit, which is my first as Federal President, constitutes another premiere. I associate Beirut with another “first”, a moment that is deeply etched in my memory. Back then – I had only been Foreign Minister for a short period of time – I learned that diplomacy and the quest for peace are not only a question of patient, often tough negotiations, but can also be about success. Tangible and visible success. I have clear memories of that moment during the war in 2006. On 7 September here in Beirut, I was standing with the then Prime Minister on the balcony of his residence. A little dot appeared on the horizon that came closer and closer. This dot increasingly took on the shape of an aircraft, which finally came in to land.

  • Yasmine Hamdan
    YASMINE HAMDAN © Nadim Asfar CONTACT PRESSE Amélie Rouyer [email protected] Charlotte Trogan [email protected] 22, rue de Montreuil 75011 Paris Tél. +33 1 53 27 90 10 www.seeside.fr YASMINE HAMDAN EN BREF... Auteur, compositeur et interprète, Yasmine Hamdan est née à Beyrouth. Elle passe une partie de sa vie entre les pays du Golf et la Grèce. De retour dans la capitale libanaise en 1990, elle y termine sa scolarité, entame des études de psychologie et obtient la licence en 1998. La même année, elle fonde avec Zeid Hamdan le duo Soapkills. Entre 1998 et 2005, Soapkills sort quatre albums dont un live. Yasmine arrive à Paris en 2002. Elle suit une maîtrise en Art du spectacle à la Sorbonne et entame des collabo- rations dans le cinéma avec les réalisateurs Elia Suleiman, Ghassan Salhab, Khalil Jreij et Joanna Hadjitouma, Danièle Arbid. Sa rencontre en 2005 avec Mirwaïs Ahmadzaï, producteur de musique électronique et notamment composi- teur de l’album Music de Madonna, donne naissance à Y.A.S. L’album Arabology sort en 2009 chez Universal Music. À PROPOS D’ELLE... « Il y a trois hivers de cela, Yasmine Hamdan était Y.A.S., duo ou plutôt point de rencontre entre sa culture à elle (dix ans à dominer depuis Beyrouth la scène underground arabe dont elle fût l’icône en tant que chanteuse au sein de Soapkills) et l’électropop de Mirwais. Plus qu’un projet, Y.A.S. était un symbole (musical, géopolitique, religieux, les perspectives ici ramassaient larges) : celui d’un possible pont entre deux mondes que les radios, les médias, les dancefloors, les oreilles, les mentalités celles des uns aussi bien que celles des autres, n’avaient jamais imaginé voir se rencontrer.

  • Middle East Resources
    Middle East Resources Novels At the core of Middle Eastern literature, is the art of storytelling. Many stories have circulated through the Middle East and North Africa for hundreds of years and remain pertinent to understanding the region’s historical context and cultural heritage.

    Rewriting Arabic Songs | norient.com 4 Oct 2021 21:52:50 Rewriting Arabic Songs by Ahmad Zatari Using folk songs from Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, and Kuwait, Yasmine Hamdan’s self-titled new album revives the music of the region with an unheard of frankness and freshness. Yasmine Hamdan’s music re-addresses Arabic traditions in a way that could almost be seen as an affront to how we perceive the Arab vocal identity. Born in 1976, Hamdan has undertaken the challenge of affirming and rewriting Arabic musical heritage. In her new self-titled album (produced by Kwaidan Records), she continues to demolish the oft used style of verbose praise or lamentations about love, the homeland, nature, pets, last night, and the chosen self (see Norient article on Women and Pop in the Arab World). «Samar» - Yasmine Hamdan (2012) Soap Kills She partnered with Zeid Hamdan in 1997 forming the band Soap Kills. At the time, Beirut was trying to scrub up its schizophrenic glamor with an imaginary soap. Their band was the underground music scene’s response to this. https://norient.com/stories/rewriting-arabic-songs Page 1 of 6 Rewriting Arabic Songs | norient.com 4 Oct 2021 21:52:50 Soap Kills was a platform for expression in which music was just one element. From the beginning, they worked against illusionary beauty that was «part of the ideology of advanced capitalism and distorted awareness serving social hegemony», as German philosopher and musicologist Theodor Adorno put it. Violations of «socially acceptable» beauty, as Adorno said, become possible through avant-garde music that safeguards the truth.
