Avec nos partenaires SkyTeam, nous vous proposons l’un des réseaux les plus vastes au monde, vous permettant de profi ter de plus de 990 destinations. airfrance.gp FAIRE DU CIEL LE PLUS BEL ENDROIT DE LA TERRE Du 17 au 20 mai 2013, le Festival de Marie-Galante, Terre de Blues concentrera de nombreux regards sur notre île. Cette 14 ème édition s’annonce sous les meilleurs auspices. Attendu des mélomanes, mais aussi des acteurs économiques et d’une manière générale de la population, l’événement de la Pentecôte gagne en notoriété d’année en année. C’est un grand bouillonnement qui va des scolaires par le partenariat conclu avec l’éducation nationale aux associations en passant par les établissements qui organisent des manifestations autour du Festival qui devient de plus en plus l’affaire des marie-galantais. L’engouement pour le Festival Terre de Blues commence à se transformer en levier pour le développement du Pays Marie-Galante. L’image de l’île est fortement diffusée à cette occasion et l’attractivité du territoire devrait se renforcer. Il s’agit donc de travailler sans relâche à l’amélioration de l’accueil, à l’excellence en matière d’animation pour valoriser le terroir et ses produits. La programmation de cette année reste fidèle au schéma construit afin de satisfaire tous les goûts. Elle tourne autour de trois monstres sacrés de la musique. La famille Marley, ambassadeur du reggae représenté par DAMIAN le samedi 18 mai, KASSAV’ , la fine fleur du zouk le dimanche 19 mai et ADMIRAL T , l’énergie au service de la dance hall le lundi 20 mai. La musique africaine, la salsa et la musique noire américaine seront au rendez-vous. Cette 14 ème édition aura pour marraine Judith SYMPHORIEN , l’animatrice de Radio Caraïbe. Judith, c’est une voix, un style sorti des entrailles de Marie-Galante, accompagnant quotidiennement des milliers d’auditeurs. Son rayonnement apportera au festival une touche de grâce féminine pour en élargir encore plus le public. D’année en année le Village du Festival prend de l’ampleur avec plus d’une soixantaine d’exposants attendus pour dévoiler aux visiteurs les trésors cachés de la gastronomie et de l’artisanat marie-galantais. Les équipes de l’Office du Tourisme et de la Communauté de Commune mettent tout en œuvre pour préserver la sécurité et l’ambiance conviviale qui sont la marque du Festival Terre de Blues. Bon Festival à toutes et à tous ! Harry SELBONNE, Président de la Communauté de Communes de Marie-Galante 3 L’Office de Tourisme de Marie-Galante est très fier de participer aux côtés de la Communauté de Communes de Marie-Galante à la réalisation de la 14 ème édition du festival Terre de Blues . Marie-Galante, grâce notamment au festival Terre de Blues , donne à la destination « Guadeloupe » un cachet empreint d’authenticité. Marie-Galante a choisi résolument de façon péremptoire depuis quelques années de se tourner vers le développement de l’activité touristique. La destination se positionne comme un produit de qualité, idéal pour une clientèle aimant le Tourisme de pleine nature, le désir de tranquillité et d’authenticité loin du tourisme de masse et des contraintes qui lui sont liées. Le festival s’inscrit totalement dans cette démarche, et occupe une place privilégiée dans les actions initiées par l’office de Tourisme de Marie-Galante. Cette opération représente pour notre territoire une opportunité formidable de développement touristique; elle est en effet un des éléments qui concourt à l’animation du territoire et un vecteur extraordinaire de promotion de notre destination à travers le monde. De plus, le festival qui contribue à une mise en exergue des atouts naturels et patrimoniaux de Marie- Galante, s’inscrit pleinement dans la stratégie touristique du territoire avec l’exploitation des niches de marché autour d’évènementiels culturels. Par ailleurs, il est important d’ajouter que cette action permet aux professionnels du tourisme en ces temps de crise économique de stimuler leur activité. Pour conclure, cette 14 ème édition est, j’en suis persuadé, l’un des plus grands crus jamais organisé à Marie- Galante et je m’en réjouis véritablement. Je renouvelle mes remerciements appuyés à la Communauté de Communes de Marie-Galante ainsi qu’à l’ensemble des partenaires institutionnels et privés qui assurent un soutien indéfectible à la réussite de cette belle manifestation. Marie-Galante si vraie, Marie-Galante Terre de festival !! François CLEONIS Président de l’Office du Tourisme de Marie-Galante 4 C’est avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme et de fierté que nous accueillons cette 14 e édition du festival « TERRE DE BLUES » , à Marie-Galante. Inscrite au calendrier des événements touristiques marquants de l’archipel, cette manifestation sera encore en 2013, l’occasion de célébrer la musique, les identités musicales et culturelles ainsi que le métissage, si chers à nos yeux. Au fil des années, « TERRE DE BLUES » continue d’être le reflet d’une musique caribéenne mixte, à l’affût des nouvelles tendances et d’artistes originaux de qualité avec cette année : Damian MARLEY de la Jamaïque, Omar PENE du Sénégal, Raul PAZ de Cuba, et bien d’autres. Mais au-delà de la célébration des cultures et des patrimoines, nous souhaitons que « TERRE DE BLUES » se positionne comme un événement à caractère économique et générateur de retombées pour les profes - sionnels des arts et du spectacle, bien sûr, mais aussi pour les acteurs du tourisme, du commerce local et plus simplement pour les Marie-Galantais. Nous avons d’ailleurs inscrit, le Festival au titre des actions phares de notre partenariat avec la Communauté de Communes, l’Office du Tourisme et les trois communes de Marie-Galante, lors de la signature de notre convention pour le développement touristique de l’île. Le festival contribue à renforcer l’identité touristique de l’île, déjà forte en caractère. Enfin, je tiens à rendre hommage à l’audace et à la persévérance des organisateurs, qui travaillent avec cœur depuis de nombreuses années pour s’assurer que cette manifestation soit encore et toujours un rendez-vous incontournable de la programmation musicale caribéenne. « TERRE DE BLUES » est une vitrine culturelle exceptionnelle qui nous permet de rayonner dans toute la région Caraïbe et le reste du monde. La créativité des artistes, l’enthousiasme de la presse, la conviction de nos partenaires et surtout l’engouement et la fidélité des festivaliers font de cette manifestation une véritable passerelle culturelle pour notre archipel. Longue vie à « Terre de blues » ! Mme Josette BOREL-LINCERTIN, Présidente de la Région Guadeloupe 6 Marie-Galante offrira ses fastes à l’occasion de l’organisation du Festival Terre de Blues du 17 mai au 20 mai 2013. C’est une occasion de plus d’admirer un plateau artistique de grande qualité. Comment ne pas s’incliner devant les invités prestigieux que sont Kassav’, Mizikopéyi, Admiral T, Omar Péné. De surcroit, ils seront épaulés par le super Diamono de Dakar, Raul Paz de Cuba et le Chic feat. Niles Rodgers des USA. Autant dire que les échos de ce festival sont de dimension internationale. Le Conseil Général s’en réjouit de toute la force de son soutien solidaire. Chaque édition est un pas de plus vers l’excellence culturelle et une avancée vers le chemin délectable de la musique. Au nom de l’Assemblée Départementale je souhaite la bienvenue à tous les artistes invités. Ils retrouveront sous les auspices de la marraine, Judith Symphorien, l’accueil chaleureux d’une île incomparable et surtout une terre magnifique : la Terre de Blues ! Jacques Gillot Sénateur Président du Conseil Général 7 L’apprentissage commence dès le plus jeune âge. Acquisition de connaissances ou de valeurs culturelles, cette mise en relation entre savoir-faire et savoir-être, induit un changement de comportement capital et aide à se construire. Ce terme, dont il est important de prendre la mesure, est aujourd’hui le thème central du Festival International Terre de Blues : « Apprentissage et transmission culturelle ». Vous commencerez cet apprentissage avec le Festival A Ti Moun, où nos enfants des Iles de Guadeloupe, présenteront ce que leur a transmis l’ancien parrain du Festival, François LADREZEAU. Vous vibrerez ensuite avec le groupe Kassav’ qui vous transmettra un florilège d’émotions, et ce pour la première fois, au festival Terre de Blues . Mais vous n’êtes pas au bout de vos surprises, Damian MARLEY vous dit d’ores et déjà « Welcome to Jamrock » , tandis que Raul PAZ vous lance un grand « Buena Suerte ». Je vous invite à découvrir l’édition 2013 du Festival qui sera incontestablement un cru hors pair, car des grands noms du blues seront présents et donneront le meilleur d’eux mêmes. Lors de votre séjour, entre deux concerts, prenez le temps d’entreprendre une ballade, que ce soit à pied ou en charrette à bœufs, vous découvrirez Marie-Galante, une terre d’accueil chaleureuse et authentique. Profitez des magnifiques plages qui s’offrent à vous, asseyez-vous à la table d’un restaurant pour consommer le « bébélé » traditionnel, discutez avec les habitants qui se feront un plaisir de vous transmettre l’art de vivre Marie-Galantais. Cette quiétude que vous ne retrouverez nulle part ailleurs, vous donnera envie de découvrir l’arrière-pays avec ses moulins et ses champs de cannes à perte de vue. Plus vous avancerez, plus vous sentirez cette atmosphère sucrée qui caractérise Marie-Galante. Vous qui n’êtes jamais venu, ce n’est plus le moment d’hésiter, des émotions intenses et variées vous attendent. Les habitués du Festival vous le diront, l’aventure Marie-Galantaise ne donne qu’une seule envie, la revivre.

  • DAMIAN "JR. GONG" MARLEY, KURA E C4 PEDRO Dia 5 No MEO Sudoeste Lisboa, 11 De Abril De 2016
    Comunicado de Imprensa DAMIAN "JR. GONG" MARLEY, KURA e C4 PEDRO dia 5 no MEO Sudoeste www.meosudoeste.pt www.facebook.com/meosudoeste Lisboa, 11 de abril de 2016 O cartaz da vigésima edição do MEO Sudoeste virá recheado de nomes com reconhecimento planetário e de diferentes géneros musicais. Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Kura e C4 Pedro completam a programação do Palco MEO no dia 5 de agosto, juntamente com o já anunciado Seu Jorge. Filho de Bob Marley, o trajeto de Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley tem sido trilhado à custa, não do apelido, mas do seu imenso talento. Revolucionário, é dono de obras que fundem o dancehall com o hip hop e claro, com os mais finos acordes do reggae. A sua estreia discográfica deu-se em 1996, com “Mr. Marley”, um disco onde o género dancehall abundava e que foi produzido pelo seu irmão Stephen Marley. No entanto, com a segunda edição, “Halfway Tree”, lançada em 2001, conquistou o mundo fundindo o dancehall com o reggae e hip-hop. O álbum teve enorme sucesso comercial e com ele, Damian Marley venceu, em 2002, o Grammy para Best Reggae Album. Bomba maior veio quatro anos depois: “Welcome To Jamrock”. Com o disco – e tema título considerado na altura pela Rolling Stone com uma das 100 melhores canções reggae da década -, chegaram mais dois Grammys (Best Reggae Album and Best Urban/Alternative Performance). Em 2006, com Nas, editou “Distant Relatives”, um título que, para além dos géneros sempre explorados por Marley, ressoa com RnB e muito rap. Damian Marley encontra-se a preparar o novo disco e nos últimos tempos é ainda de sublinhar a colaboração de sucesso com Skrillex em “Make it Bun Dem”.

  • Women in Jamaican Dancehall
    WOMEN IN JAMAICAN DANCEHALL: Rethinking Jamaican Dancehall through a Women-Centered Informal Economy Approach. by Leslie-Ann Fullerton A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, Social Justice Education Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto 2017 © Copyright by Leslie-Ann Fullerton 2017 WOMEN IN JAMAICAN DANCEHALL: Rethinking Jamaican Dancehall through a Women-Centered Informal Economy Approach Leslie-Ann Fullerton Master of Arts, Social Justice Education Department of Social Justice Education University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Some academic discussions that address women who participate in Jamaican Dancehall have taken the position that these women lack morality and agency and have internalized sexist norms (Lake 1996). This is because of the overtly sexual nature of the cultural expression. This research project aimed to expand the conversation concerning these women by investigating how female dancehall dancers, models and auxiliaries (designers, beauticians and vendors) make a living from Dancehall's informal economy. Through empirical evidence, this research will suggest that women who participate in Jamaican dancehall have subjectively and economically benefited from the informal economy that is embedded in dancehall. ii Acknowledgments This research could not have come to fruition without the help of many amazing souls. Firstly, let me acknowledge St. Catherine Cooperate Credit Union for giving me my first job as a Client Care Representative. I would also like to thank them for not renewing my contract after three years, which gave me the freedom to earn a living while doing what I loved. Freedom from working at the Credit Union gave me the opportunity to work as a dancehall model.

  • Comissioner Gordon Williams Bio 2
    Commissioner Gordon’s Biography Background Gordon Williams can be described as a “multi-faced” artist because of his vast yet different involvement in the music industry. Dubbed “Commissioner” by rapper KRS One-with whom he worked closely- his extensive résumé includes multiple Grammy Awards and numerous Gold and Platinum albums. The Bronx native started experiencing his abilities in the field of music as a DJ in the 80’s, when he also participated in the break-through of the Hip-Hop genre and culture- what he described as a “neighborhood phenomena”. Inspired at eight years old by DJs playing music in parks in the Bronx, Williams will himself be spinning records until his decision to delve more into his production skills in college, a decision that made him leave Rutgers University- which he only attended for a year- and transfer to the New York’s Center for Media Arts. There, he participated in one of the first programs of its kind for music engineering. After graduating, The Commissioner was signed by an independent record label as a producer and member of the group, Touch, where he worked as an engineer, producer and programmer. Touch gained much success and their single “With Out You” reached top-five in the Billboard dance category. Soon after that, Williams earned a production deal with Motown Records, what he described as being the start of his career in the music industry. In fact, this achievement led to Gordon’s emergence as a programmer and re-mixer. Soon, his credits included projects with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Teddy Riley, Babyface, Staci Lattisaw, Diana Ross, New Edition, Nile Rodgers and Quincy Jones.
