  • Title: Valuing Tradition: Mali's Jeliw, European Publishers and Copyright
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Journal of World Popular Music Vol. 4 (1) published by Equinox Publishing: https://journals.equinoxpub.com/index.php/JWPM/issue/archive Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/23968/ Title: Valuing Tradition: Mali’s jeliw, European publishers and Copyright Author: Caspar Melville, SOAS University of London The issue of how copyright works for the musical traditions of Africa has been steadily growing in importance since the 1990s, pushed to the fore by the increasing visibility of African artists in the world music market, the neoliberalisation of African economies that is pushing IP issues into the centre of state creative industry policies, the ubiquity of illegal forms of reproduction, physical and increasingly digital and the processes by which immaterial goods and cultural traditions are becoming reimagined as commodities. Recent scholarly discussions of this issue moves the debate significantly beyond the simple notion of copyright as a Eurocentric imposition on vulnerable African cultural heritage and instead considers how IP issues are addressed differentially in specific local contexts across sub-Saharan Africa. This article examines these issues in relation to how Mali‟s Mande griots (“jeliw”) work with European publishers. Based on a series of sixteen interviews with jeli musicians and European publishers and others in the world music industry, its main finding is that while it is necessary to reconsider what we mean by composition in relation to Mali‟s Jeliw and their musical practice, copyright can and is being adapted by publishers working with traditional musicians to provide much needed revenue to jeli composers and plays a role in sustaining a vital, but vulnerable, tradition.

  • Baka Beyond Biography
    BAKA BEYOND BIOGRAPHY Musicians from 6 countries in the Celtic fringes of Europe and the West coast of Africa join together to play the most originallive world fusion sound around. The spirit of the music lives in the rhythm. All Baka Beyond's rhythms are played by human beings not machines ! History:Baka Beyond were originally inspired by Martin Cradick & Su Hart's visits to the Baka Forest People in Cameroon. While there they played music with and recorded the Baka resulting in two albums, Heart of the Forest - field recordings of the traditional Baka music - & Spirit of the Forest http://www.bakabeyond.net/images/martin_band.jpg- a mix of music written with & inspired by the Baka.Watch Martin playing with the Baka The album "Spirit of the Forest" helped define the term “world music” and pushed Baka Beyond into worldwide recognition. From these beginnings, recorded in a bedroom studio and based on live jams recorded while living with the Baka Pygmies in the rainforests of South-East Cameroon, Baka Beyond has evolved into a multicultural, dynamic live stage show. “It was the amazing bird-like singing or yelli that first attracted me,” says Su Hart, Baka Beyond’s lead singer. “The women get together before the dawn to sing, enchant the animals of the forest and ensure that the men’s hunting will be successful. Song and dance are used by the Baka for healing, for rituals, for keeping the community together and also for pure fun! We try to do the same in Baka Beyond.” Although in the early days the live “Baka Beyond” was mainly British musicians reproducing the recordings on “Spirit of the Forest”, over the years the band has grown to include members from Brittany, Cameroon, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Ghana as well as Britain.
