Ma Vis Sta P Biografia s es l vi p a t S Ma The Legendary Mavis Staples Mavis Staples, leggenda del Soul e del Gospel, è una delle più conosciute e preziose voci della musica contemporanea. Sia come solista che in collaborazione con i The Staple Singers, dimostra di essere una forza ispiratrice della moderna cultura po- polare e musicale.

Il piccolo club ricrea un ambiente famigliare dove Mavis riesce ad esprimere al mas- simo il suo stile e la band che la accompagna, formata da soli 3 membri e 3 vocalist S Ma permette di puntare l’attenzione interamente sulla sua voce. Il concerto si apre sulle note del classico brano “For What it’s Worth” seguito da “Paranoia Strikes Deep”, la sua vocalità e abilità donano a questi pezzi un nuovo significato e una nuova vibrazione tanto da attirare l’attenzione dell’ascoltatore. Cinque delle dodici tracce provengono dall’album We’ll never turn Back che richia- ma il periodo in cui si batteva per i diritti civili e sentirla cantare dal vivo brani come “Eyes On the Prize”, “Down in Mississippi” e “We Shall Not Be Moved” rende il tutto molto emozionante. Ma è con il suo nuovo album, You Are Not Alone, che questa leggendaria vo- calist aggiunge uno straordinario capitolo alla sua storica carriera. Il progetto, nato ben 60 anni fa, ancora prima che Mavis iniziasse a cantare con i The Staple Singers, e che segue We’ll Never Turn Back (2007), e il live album Hope at the Hideout del 2009, tocca sorprendentemente un nuovo territorio per Staples. “Tutte le canzoni sono mie, ma in modi differenti, con un sound diverso,” dice Mavis Staples. “le frasi, i tempi, gli arrangiamenti sono diversi dal mio solito ma il messaggio è lo stesso che sto inviando da anni. Parlano dei problemi odierni - povertà, lavoro, sanità...” Prodotto da Jeff Tweedy, produttore di Chicago nonché della famosa band Wilco, è proprio lui che occupa un ruolo importante in questo lavoro perché aiuta Mavis a trovare la sua strada che, lei dice, non sarebbe riuscita a prendere da sola. Alcune delle scelte di Tweedy, che costituiscono il nucleo di You Are Not Alone, toc- cano le più lontane memorie di Staples; dai gospel tradizionali come “Creep Along Moses” e “Wonderful Savior” a grandi pezzi del ’78, “Brani con cui sono cresciu- ta, non avrei mai pensato di interpretarli...” dice Mavis; da canzoni composte dal defunto padre come “Don’t Knock” e “Downward Road,” che la riportano ai primi Slang Music Via S.Francesco, 3 - 25075 Nave (BS) Tel. 0302531536 - Fax 0302536348 - Cell. 3356715992 www.slangmusic.com - [email protected] periodi delle Staple Singers, una decade prima di classici quali “I’ll Take You There” e “Respect Yourself” che occuperanno le pop charts, a brani di grandi icone blues e soul (Allan Toussaint, Little Milton, e Re- verend Gary Davis) e dai grandi maestri pop (Randy Newman e John Fogerty). You Are Not Alone cattura un’incredibi- le decade per Mavis, una rinascita che la vede ricevere Grammy nominations nelle categorie blues, gospel, folk, e pop. Back in the Day Inizia la sua carriera nel 1950 con il leg- gendario gruppo gospel The Staples Singers, accanto al padre e alle sorelle (Cleotha, Pervis e Yvonne) si esibisce nelle chiese e in piccole trasmissioni ra- diofoniche. Nel 1956 incidono per l’etichetta VeeJay il brano “Uncloudy Day” che diventa una hit e, nel 1957, guidati dal patriarca Roe- buck “Pops” Staples, intraprendono il loro primo tour acquisendo il sopranome di “God’s Greatest Hitmakers.” Ben presto evolvono da popolari gospel singers (con produzioni delle etichette United e Riverside così come VeeJay) ad uno dei più spettacolari ed influenti gruppi americani. Verso la metà degli anni ‘60, ispirati dalla grande amicizia con Martin Luther King, Jr., sono la voce spirituale e musicale dei movimenti per i diritti civili inviando messaggi positivi attraverso canzoni come “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall” di Bob Dylan e “For What It’s Worth”, raggiungendo con la loro articolata musica un enorme gruppo di gio- vani. Nel 1968 firmano un contratto con la Stax Records unendo il loro gospel sound e la loro profonda fede all’accompagnamento di Booker T. e MGs. Le loro hit occupano la top 40 ben otto volte tra il 1971 e il 1975 con singoli come “I’ll Take You The- re”, “Let’s Do It Again,” e “Who Took the Merry Out of Christmas?” diventando così delle vere pop stars.

Dopo un altro lavoro prodotto dalla stessa etichetta nel 1970, Only For the Lonely, es arriva un soundtrack album, A Piece of the Action, prodotto dalla Curtis Mayfield’s l Curtom. vi Nel 1984 un altro album (auto intitolato) precede due lavori che realizzerà sotto la di- rezione della rock star Prince; Time Waits For No One del 1989 seguito, nel 1993, p da The Voice che verrà nominato nei Top Ten Albums del 1993. Nel 1996 arriva, Spirituals & Gospels: A Tribute to Mahalia Jackson, realizzato con il tastierista Lucky Peterson è un ciclo di canzoni in onore di Jackson che è sta- a ta un’importante influenza nella vita di Mavis nonchè una grande amica di famiglia. Have A Little Faith (Alligator), del 2004, è un’emozionante collezione di brani go- t spel delle origini rivisti con la sua profonda fede e spiritualità. Prodotto da Jim Tullio e Staples, l’album è una delle più valide collezioni, sia originali che S Ma interpretative, che Mavis abbia mai assemblato. Nel 2007 completa il lavoro We’ll Never Turn Back, forse l’album più criticato della sua carriera. Prodotto da Ry Cooder, l’album racconta della vita e della personale storia della cantante attraverso canzoni del periodo dei movimenti per i diritti civili. Combina crude, emozionali e contemporanee versioni di brani degli anni ’50 – ’60 accanto a tradizionali e nuovi brani scritti da Mavis e Ry. Per molti artisti un progetto come questo potrebbe essere un modo per rimettere insieme i pezzi della storia, come un museo che espone il passato attraverso gli antichi resti come fotogrammi di un film ma Mavis ha scelto un altro modo per farlo: aggiuge frasi e commenti alle sue canzoni, combina i testi con esperienze personali fino ad arrivare ai reali problemi odierni. Ry Cooder con l’aiuto del figlio Joaquin, il batterista Jim Keltner, il bassista Mike Elizando e alcuni membri della corale Ladysmith Black Mambazo ha ricreato lo spazio adatto per assorbire e avvolgere Mavis che, con i suoi emozionali vocalizzi, definisce le ricche e vibranti radici del passato. Seguono a questo lavoro Hope at the Hideout del 2009 e l’ultimo progetto You Are Not Alone. Durante la sua carriera Mavis appare in molti films e programmi televisivi, incluso The Last Waltz, Graffiti Bridge, Wattstax, New York Undercover, Soul Train, Soul to Soul e The Cosby Show.

A Bright Time Ahead Mavis Staples sta continuando la tradizione di famiglia associando il fervore gospel con le ombre del soul e R&B. Questo la rende una vera icona, un’artista che continua a creare musica ispi- rando intere generazioni che avranno fiducia nel suo confortante ed eccezio- nale dono.

  • The Funky Diaspora
    The Funky Diaspora: The Diffusion of Soul and Funk Music across The Caribbean and Latin America Thomas Fawcett XXVII Annual ILLASA Student Conference Feb. 1-3, 2007 Introduction In 1972, a British band made up of nine West Indian immigrants recorded a funk song infused with Caribbean percussion called “The Message.” The band was Cymande, whose members were born in Jamaica, Guyana, and St. Vincent before moving to England between 1958 and 1970.1 In 1973, a year after Cymande recorded “The Message,” the song was reworked by a Panamanian funk band called Los Fabulosos Festivales. The Festivales titled their fuzzed-out, guitar-heavy version “El Mensaje.” A year later the song was covered again, this time slowed down to a crawl and set to a reggae beat and performed by Jamaican singer Tinga Stewart. This example places soul and funk music in a global context and shows that songs were remade, reworked and reinvented across the African diaspora. It also raises issues of migration, language and the power of music to connect distinct communities of the African diaspora. Soul and funk music of the 1960s and 1970s is widely seen as belonging strictly in a U.S. context. This paper will argue that soul and funk music was actually a transnational and multilingual phenomenon that disseminated across Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond. Soul and funk was copied and reinvented in a wide array of Latin American and Caribbean countries including Brazil, Panama, Jamaica, Belize, Peru and the Bahamas. This paper will focus on the music of the U.S., Brazil, Panama and Jamaica while highlighting the political consciousness of soul and funk music.

    Lesson Plan #8 Tonight’s Top Story Celebrating Black History Month Audience: Junior or senior high aged students or individuals Achievements: Exploring educational standards for English, Creative Writing, History, Civics, Public Speaking skills; Researching significant people and events in American and world history; Compiling details of a historical figure or event into a written paper or oral presentation. Activity: Lights, camera, action! Turn your classroom into the set of a network news station, and turn students into news reporters. Spend part of a class period discussing the developments of American music history and the significance of African Americans in the origins of rock ‘n’ roll and soul music. This activity would be best executed following a field trip to the Memphis Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum, which offers an extensive and comprehensive historical outline of the development of America’s musical genres from early rural music and field hollers through the creation of rock ‘n’ roll and soul music and to the present. Assign this activity before your museum visit, but executing it afterwards. Have students select an African American musician, producer or disc jockey who has made significant contributions to their field. Some possibilities would include Otis Redding, W.C. Handy, B.B. King, Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Barry Gordy, Russell Simmons, Robert Johnson, Leontyne Price, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Tina Turner, Rufus Thomas, Quincy Jones, Mahalia Jackson. An extensive list and accompanying biographies are available at www.infoplease.com/spot/bhmpeople6.html. Students may also choose to research an event or entity like Wattstax, WDIA Radio, STAX Records, Hi Records, Soul Train or Motown Records.
