The film is a visceral thriller about a charming small-time thug, Riva, who returns to his energy-starved hometown of Kinshasa after stealing a truckload of fuel from an Angolan crime lord named Cesar. His bounty is worth a fortune in the city which has run out of petrol. Not only is the sharply dressed Cesar hot on his trail, but Riva also runs into trouble with the tough mob boss Azor (think Marsellus Wallace in “Pulp Fiction”), husband of the beautiful Nora, a woman he meets in a nightclub. Explosively violent, gritty and realistic, the film delves into the world of young smugglers working the Angola-Kinshasa trade – young men who care little about what happens tomorrow. It’s a tale of rival gangsters and corrupt officials, recounted against the sprawling background of Kinshasa.

    MEMORIES OF THE PRESENT IN KINSHASA’S NEW WAVE CINEMA (2008-2018) CONGOLESE CINEMA TODAY : MEMORIES OF THE PRESENT IN KINSHASA’s NEW WAVE CINEMA (2008-2018) MATTHIAS DE GROOF, ALESSANDRO JEDLOWSKI « Cinema is a kind of collective therapy. It can change the reality of our country » Okoko Nyumbaiza1 Collective cultural memory is often shaped through films, but in Congolese cinema, this concern for the past appears to be almost ab- sent. Does Congolese cinema really ignore the past ? Or is it rather obsessed with the present ? Congolese cinema has rarely addressed the erasure of pre-colonial civilizations caused by the colonial inva- sion, as Ousmane Sembène did in Ceddo (1977) or Med Hondo in Sarraounia (1986) did for West-Africa. Nor has it tried to compen- sate these erasures by producing a « calabash cinema » anchored in the precolonial rural world, as it happened in Malian or Burkinabe cinemas ; or expressed the need to investigate the past in order to define a way forward, as in the idea of Sankofa in Haile Gerima’s Ethiopian films. Congolese cinema has hardly made any attempt at producing a re-appropriation of Congolese history through forms of anticolonial cinema as it happened in Mozambique with the films produced by FRELIMO (see KuxaKanema, 2003), and even films produced during the Mobutu regime and influenced by its authen- ticity campaigns did not try to reconfigure the country’s past to ac- commodate the regime’s ideological orientations – except perhaps for Bokakala Nkolobise’s Bakanja, produced in 1989 by the Arch- diocese of Mbandaka-Bikoro. Finally, Congolese filmmakers have 1 Personal interview made by Alessandro Jedlowski on 18/02/2018.

  • (Inter)Textuality in Contemporary Kenyan Popular Music
    "READING THE REFERENTS": (INTER)TEXTUALITY IN CONTEMPORARY KENYAN POPULAR MUSIC Joyce Wambũi Nyairo A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Johannesburg, 2004 Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own unaided work. It is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted for any other degree or examination in any other university. ___________________________ Joyce Wambũi Nyairo Fifth day of October, 2004. i Abstract This study explores the meaning of contemporary Kenyan popular music by undertaking literary interpretations of song lyrics and musical styles. In making these interpretations, the fabric of popular song is shown to be a network of referents and associations with texts situated both within and outside of the song-texts. As polyphonic discourse, these vast range of textual and paratextual referents opens up various points of engagement between artiste, songtext and audience and in the process, the surplus meanings generated by both the poetry of the text and the referents embedded within it account for the significance of popular songs as concrete articulations that mediate the realities of modern Kenya. Through the six chapters that make up the core of the study we see the mini-dramas that are played out in the material conditions within which the songs are produced; in the iconographies that are generated by artistes' stage names and album titles; in the strategies of memory work that connect present-day realities to old cultural practices; in the soundtracks of urban spaces and in those of domesticated global cultural trends and finally, in the mediation of the antinomies surrounding the metanarrative of the nation and the realization of political transition.

Juni, 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First of all I would like to express my gratitude to the Johannes Gutenberg- University of Mainz and Professor Dr. Wolfgang Bender, who is now at the University of Hildesheim, for providing his expertise in ethnomusicology and the occasion to undertake this project. Furthermore my deep-felt gratitude goes out to the many individuals and institutions, who helped me with my research in the province of Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo. The list is long and it is impossible to name all of them. However some of these individuals stand out and have gone beyond their capacities to accommodate me with their knowledge, time and assistance: The late Didier Kabobo Mwenda, Bosco’s son, who provided me with important information, many documents and photos. While continuing his father’s musical legacy he suddenly died in June 2009, at the age of 35. He will be terribly missed by many of us. I am greatly indebted to the hospitality of Bosco’s son, Murphy, his wife and children; Bosco’s daughters, Fé-Fé and Cathy Mwenda, who all welcomed me to their homes and treated me with great respect and generous hospitality.

  • 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.
