  • 1 Ignacio Agrimbau, SOAS, University of London
    Ignacio Agrimbau, SOAS, University of London 'Tomorrow We Will Go Fishing': Exchanges Between Memory and Imagination in Two Different Verbalizations of a Dagara Xylophone Proverb In this paper I will examine two discrepant accounts of the meaning and origin of a Dagara xylophone (gyil) proverb (zukpar) in relation to the practical, discursive and ideological exchanges that occur between two different notions of competence among Dagara musicians: one that praises the imaginative creation of new gyil zukpar and another that conceives the preservation of old gyil zukpar as the key to the transmission of Dagara ancestral legacy (saakumu). During a trip to the Upper West Region of Ghana in 2010, I recorded a rendition of the Dagara funeral song-cycle (bine) by the 85 year-old Dagara gyil player Dumeh Balsab. This was followed by a series of feedback interviews in 2013-14 in which collaborators in the field stated different verbalizations and interpretations of one gyil zukpar. The findings obtained during a third period of data collection in 2015 provided an explanation of this inconsistency, but also indicated that the same individuals who expressed regret at the disappearance of old gyil zukpar – and the local history and social commentary that they transmit – had unanimously missed the original meaning conveyed by Dumeh Balsab. Following the approaches to the study of orature developed by Bauman (1975), Finnegan (1970, 1991, 2015) and Hymes (1996, 2003) and recent research on Dagara gyil zukpar by Woma (2013), Bodomo (2007) and Kuutiero (2006), this reflective ethnographic record will illustrate how the performativity of oral traditions enables different relationships between competing notions of competence and the politics of preservation of Dagara saakumu.

  • Viva Acappella Are Top Choir Kent 2011!
    17 April 2011: Immediate Page 1 of 2 Viva Acappella are Top Choir Kent 2011! The all-women close-harmony choir, Viva Acappella from Orpington, took the title of Top Choir Kent 2011 after a thrilling, hard-fought, final in front of a packed audience (500 people) at Shirley Hall in Canterbury on Saturday. (16th April). The choir, made up of 26 women singers under their musical director, Gaynor Dugay, was the judges' unanimous choice. The chairman of the judges, Dr David Flood, who is Organist and Master of Choristers at Canterbury Cathedral, praised the energy and enthusiasm of Viva Acappella. He said: “Their performance was underpinned by great discipline, great teamwork and great diction.” He added: “They really reached out to the audience”. Viva Acappella were awarded the Brett Top Choir Kent Trophy by Bill Brett, Managing Director of the Brett Group and they will now perform at this year's Canterbury Festival as their prize. Gaynor Dugay, the Musical Director and conductor of Viva Acappella was bowled over at the result. She said: “It‟s been a fantastic evening. The standard of all the choirs has been superb – but to win was beyond our wildest dreams.” She added: “We‟re ecstatic.” The other seven other finalists – who each received £100 for taking part - all received high praise from David Flood. St Edmund’s School Chamber Choir in Canterbury was commended for producing such a high standard with such young performers. UCF Choir from Folkestone sang with passion, joy and great discipline. The Oyster Singers from Whitstable demonstrated what community singing was all about by producing real energy and enjoyment.
