Remember Natalie Cole singing and dancing with her late father, Nat King Cole? The latest luminary to be revived is the Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. August 16 marks the tenth anniversary of his death. In his short life, Nusrat was the world's greatest singer of qawwali, a boisterous and passionate music of mystical Photo: Ishida Masataka Islam. He embraced western pop music, teaming up with Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Peter Gabriel and Eddie Vedder. Now, Nusrat returns with (1948-1997) was considered the finest qawwali singer of his generation. the help of Italian dub reggae producer Gaudi. Their new CD is called Dub Qawwali. SONGS FROM 'DUB QAWWALI' Gaudi is a veteran producer with 11 solo albums over the past two decades. He specializes in dub reggae, a style that Hear old Nusrat recordings dressed up in dub reggae beats by producer often reworks existing material, mixing booming bass and Gaudi. drums with electronic effects.

By this time, Khan was already being called the add "Emperor of qawwali." Gaudi displays an appropriate reverence for the emperor, a fact that most likely helped him when he approached Khan's old record label. Gaudi says he was thrilled when they gave him full access to original 40-year-old reel-to-reel tapes of unreleased Nusrat sessions. "It was incredibly emotive for me, seeing the writing, handwriting and everything, I had goose bumps, really," Gaudi recalls. He took the tapes and worked some studio magic, removing unwanted instruments and laying the bare vocal tracks over Dub Qawwali combines the soaring his own beats. It was a daring venture, to be sure, but Gaudi vocals of the late Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and the reggae style says that in all that tinkering, his aim was not to adapt Khan's called "dub." music to his own beats, but exactly the other way around.

That's part of the reason the record took Gaudi two years to make. He says he spent months just listening, before touching anything. And in the end, his careful study convinced him that he could safely use Jamaican dub beats without compromising the spirit of Khan's music. "Because the message of that music and the message of reggae is exactly the same," Gaudi says. "It's peace, love, Photo: Dan Welldon and spirituality.

  • National Endowment for the Arts Annual Report 1996
    TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: It is my pleasure to transmit herewith the Annual Report of the National Endowment for the Arts for the fiscal year 1996. One measure of a great nation is the vitality of its culture, the dedication of its people to nurturing a climate where creativity can flourish. By support­ ing our museums and theaters, our dance companies and symphony orches­ tras, our writers and our artists, the National Endowment for the Arts provides such a climate. Look through this report and you will find many reasons to be proud of our Nation’s cultural life at the end of the 20th century and what it portends for Americans and the world in the years ahead. Despite cutbacks in its budget, the Endowment was able to fund thou­ sands of projects all across America -- a museum in Sitka, Alaska, a dance company in Miami, Florida, a production of Eugene O’Neill in New York City, a Whisder exhibition in Chicago, and artists in the schools in all 50 states. Millions of Americans were able to see plays, hear concerts, and participate in the arts in their hometowns, thanks to the work of this small agency. As we set priorities for the coming years, let’s not forget the vita! role of the National Endowment for the Arts must continue to play in our national life. The Endowment shows the world that we take pride in American culture here and abroad. It is a beacon, not only of creativity, but of free­ dom. And let us keep that lamp brightly burning now and for all time.

  • Wvpb Annual Report 2019 Web.Pdf
    WEST VIRGINIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING ANNUAL REPORT 2019 FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR West Virginia Public Broadcasting has been here since man first walked on the moon. The pivotal year was 1969. NASA took us farther than we’d ever been. The country was conflicted over war. Hundreds of thousands of music fans attended Woodstock. It was a year of social strife and huge scientific advances. Meanwhile, here in the Mountain State, a visionary decision by leadership created the Educational Broadcasting Authority. From a humble beginning during a year full of historical significance, WVPB has evolved to its current role as a statewide radio, television and digital network, as well as a critical resource for emergency communications for West Virginia. But, at times, our future wasn’t certain. WVPB has weathered changing technol- ogy, reorganizations and significant cuts to state and federal funding, which seem to have plateaued for the moment. For that, we are thankful; however, other challenges loom. If you’ve heard static on the radio or lost our television signal, please know that we’re doing our best to continually patch, replace and make major over- hauls to our aging transmissions system. There also will be times in the next year when our engineers will be busy converting your region’s system as a part of our conversion to ATSC 3, today’s high-definition television broadcast- ing standard. It will require that you rescan your television to pick up the new signal. In all instances, whether we are making repairs or doing conversions, we appreciate your patience as we work to improve your WVPB experience.

(Sun Records artist Barbara Pittman ) 2 Female artists just don't really sell. (Capital Records producer Ken Nelson) 3 In the opening scene of the 199 3 film True Romance (directed by Tony Scott from a script by Quentin Tarantino), Clarence Worly (Christian Slater) perches on a stool in an anonymous, rundown bar. Addressing his com­ ments to no one in particular, he soliloquises about 'the King'. Simply put, he asserts, in Jailhouse Rock (19 5 7), Elvis embodied everything that rocka­ billy is about. 'I mean', he states, 'he is rockabilly. Mean, surly, nasty, rude. In that movie he couldn't give a fuck about nothin' except rockin' and rollin' and livin' fast and dyin' young and leavin' a good lookin' corpse, you know.' As he continues, Clarence's admiration for Elvis transcends mere identification with the performer's public image. He adds, 'Man, Elvis looked good. Yeah, I ain't no fag, but Elvis, he was prettier than most women, most women.' He now acknowledges the presence on the barstool next to him of a blank-faced, blonde young woman. Unconcerned that his overheard thoughts might have disturbed her, he continues, 'I always said if I had to fuck a guy - had to if my life depended on it - I'd 137 DAVID SANJEK THE WILD,~ WOMEN OF ROCK~BILLY fuck Elvis.'
