  • Neneh Cherry Får 2016 Års Ganneviksstipendium Inom Musik
    2016-05-02 19:47 CEST Neneh Cherry får 2016 års Ganneviksstipendium inom musik Neneh Cherry får 500 000 kronor från Per Ganneviksstiftelsen för sina insatser inom konsten. Stipendiet delades ut under en ceremoni på Kulturhuset Stadsteatern i Stockholm på måndagskvällen. Det är fjärde året som Per Ganneviks stiftelse för kulturella ändamål delar ut fem stipendier som enligt donatorns vilja ska stödja konstnärskap som kan förväntas få stor betydelse för kulturarvet. Motivering Neneh Cherry är en levande ikon som alltid legat i konstnärlig framkant. Hon har konstant fortsatt att utvecklas musikaliskt och utforska olika uttryck på ett unikt sätt. Hon är en av Sveriges största artister i modern tid, med ett inflytande på samtida popkultur som saknar motsvarighet. Per Ganneviks stiftelse för kulturella ändamål 2012 donerade finansmannen och konstälskaren Per Gannevik cirka 60 miljoner kronor till Konstnärsnämnden. I enlighet med testamentvillkoren bildades då Per Ganneviks stiftelse för kulturella ändamål. Stiftelsens ändamål är att stödja nu verksamma konstnärer som kan förväntas ha betydelse för kulturarvet. Stipendiaterna kommer att sökas inom de fem konstområden som Konstnärsnämnden vanligtvis stödjer – bild och form, musik, teater, dans och film. Stiftelsens styrelse är i enlighet med stadgarna densamma som Konstnärsnämndens styrelse. Om Neneh Cherry Neneh Cherry är född 1964 i Stockholm. Hon växte upp i Skåne, men hoppade av skolan i Hässleholm och flyttade som fjortonåring till London för att ägna sig åt musik. Hon har under perioder bott i flera andra länder sedan dess, men den brittiska huvudstaden är hennes nuvarande bostadsort. Neneh Cherry kom till den engelska musikscenen i slutet av punkeran och var med i flera olika band.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).
