YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Ultimate Africa: Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe Safari 2022 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, For me, one of the joys of traveling is the careful planning that goes into an adventure—from the first spark of inspiration to hours spent poring over travel books about my dream destinations—and I can’t wait to see where my next journey will take me. I know you’re eager to explore the world, too, and our Ultimate Africa: Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe Safari itinerary described inside is an excellent way to start. As for Ultimate Africa: Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe Safari, thanks to your small group of 8-16 travelers (average 13) you can expect some unforgettable experiences. Here are a few that stood out for me: There’s something magical that continues to draw me back to southern Africa. With a rich and complex cultural heritage and vast terrain rife with wildlife, it is truly a wonder to behold. But when I reflect on my time there—from images of expansive plains and sounds of animals wandering through the night air—the most vivid memories are those of the people I’ve met along the way, like the small community in Hwange where you’ll experience A Day in the Life of a local village. You’ll hear their personal experiences and see firsthand what it’s like to live in the village. Then, you’ll have a chance to visit the St. Mary’s Primary School, sponsored in part by Grand Circle Foundation, to meet some of the students and teachers and hear about the projects they’ve completed, such as installing solar panels, a garden, and a fence to protect the school from animals. With so many local people and wildlife living side by side, I was saddened to learn about the impact of the trophy hunting industry in southern Africa, a controversial sport that generates around $200 million in annual revenue, though little of that trickles down to local communities and conservation efforts. You’ll have an opportunity to learn about this contentious subject during a conversation with a park ranger in Kafue National Park. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it. That’s why we don’t shy away from controversial topics, and why all our Trip Experience Leaders are “insiders” who live in the country. To ensure your adventure is truly unique, join the 85% of our travelers who choose to put their own personal stamp on their adventure by personalizing their experience. You can arrive early and stay later, add a pre- or post-trip extension, spend time in a Stopover city, or combine two or more trips. Plus, your itinerary offers ample free time so you can pursue your own interests. So now that the day has come when you can enjoy your Ultimate Africa: Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe Safari adventure, I hope you will relish the fun and anticipation that this O.A.T. Adventure Travel Planning Guide® will inspire. Should you have further questions, feel free to call our Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925. Warm regards, Harriet R.

    Construyendo a Sugar Man

    Construyendo a Sugar Man Nota: contiene detalles de la trama. De la trama, ¡precisamente! El documental Searching for Sugar Man (Malik Bendjelloul, 2012) cuenta la historia de Sixto Rodríguez, un cantautor del Detroit de principios de los 70 que grabó dos excelentes discos de nulo éxito en su país, pero que descubrió casi 30 años después que su música era bien conocida desde siempre en Sudáfrica, donde sus ventas se contaban por centenares de miles y sus canciones habían llegado incluso a inspirar a los movimientos sociales contra el apartheid. Lo supo gracias a dos fans de Ciudad del Cabo que, creyendo que se había suicidado tiempo atrás (algo que todos los sudafricanos daban por hecho) decidieron indagar en su misteriosa biografía, averiguando que estaba vivo y trabajaba como peón en Detroit, alejado de la industria musical. La historia, indudablemente atractiva, nos la cuentan esos dos fans,Stephen “Sugar” Segerman, propietario de una tienda de discos, yCraig Bartholomew Strydom, crítico musical. Todo arranca en Detroit: varias personas rememoran su primer encuentro con Rodríguez a finales de los 60. Nos describen al cantautor como un espíritu errante, una | 1 Construyendo a Sugar Man especie de vagabundo y poeta de la calle. Hay algo literario en el relato que los productores que lo descubrieron hacen de la noche neblinosa, mágica e inolvidable en que lo vieron actuar por primera vez. Sorprende después el testimonio de Steve Rowland, productor del segundo disco de Rodríguez: tras mostrarnos unas fotos del misterioso músico que Rowland asegura llevar 35 años sin ver (pero que extrae del primer cajón de un mueble del salón de su casa) el productor se entrega a un calculado rasgado de vestiduras a cuenta de que Rodríguez decidiera retirarse tras el nulo éxito de sus dos discos y quedara condenado al olvido.

  • Album Review: Rodriguez, Cold Fact

    Album Review: Rodriguez, Cold Fact

    NZ Herald Album review: Rodriguez, Cold Fact By Lydia Jenkin 7:00 AM Friday Jul 6, 2012 Like a young Bob Dylan crossed with Jose Feliciano, with the poetic story-telling skills of Don McLean or Paul Simon, imparting the cold facts with a sly attitude, Sixto Rodriguez is an unsung hero of 70s counter-culture. A true rock 'n' roll star. Born and raised in Detroit to Mexican parents, and discovered by a couple of producers who saw him playing in a dive bar, Rodriguez is a rare songwriter, who can encapsulate a whole world of emotion in two potent lyrical lines. He has a knack for winding wry observations into a melody that produces elusive musical magic. That magic should've made him a big name when Cold Fact was released in 1970, the songwriting matched by skilful production, which leaves his world-weary American drawl to the fore, and builds up beautiful classic instrumental layers, along with the odd scorching guitar lick. The tenderness of Crucify Your Mind contrasts with the jaunty cheek of I Wonder, the cheerful resignation of Establishment Blues with wistful-on-reflection Jane S Piddy. Oddly, it was ignored in America, as was his second album Coming From Reality. Despite the songs full of insight into American urban life, they didn't connect with the wider public. But there were thousands of liberal young groovers in South Africa, Australia and even a few in New Zealand who regarded him as highly as The Beatles or Jimi Hendrix. Forty years on, a brilliant documentary called Searching For Sugar Man, which details his remarkable story, is being released (it's playing at the NZ International Film Festival) and there's been a resurgence of interest in Rodriguez, hence the re-release of both albums.

    Estudio Del Héroe Desconocido: "Searching for Sugar Man"

    ESTUDIO DEL HÉROE DESCONOCIDO: SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN Raúl García Sáenz de Urturi Universidad de Alicante 1. INTRODUCCIÓN El documental Searching for Sugar Man de Malik Bendjelloul se ha convertido en uno de los productos audiovisuales más aclamados del 2013, y en uno de los documentales musica- les más reconocidos en los últimos años, alcanzando una difusión para el gran público que parecía exclusiva de los recientes trabajos de Martin Scorsese sobre músicos como Bob Dylan o George Harrison. Este estudio se propone explorar la particularidad del enfoque de este documental sobre la figura del desconocido compositor y cantante Sixto Rodríguez. A partir del análisis de la estructura de la narración de la película y de la dosificación de la informa- ción que maneja el director, se pondrá en valor la propuesta que diferencia este documental musical de otros estudios clásicos de la música reciente. A través de la revisión documental, del análisis comparativo del discurso y de los recur- sos narrativos utilizados, se diferencia esta obra del estándar habitual gracias a tres pilares fundamentales para su aceptación entre crítica y público: la presencia de un autor maldito, la recompensa final e inesperada para con su obra, y el formato de investigación sobre su trayectoria. Searching for Sugar Man (2012), el documental del director sueco Malik Bendjelloul so- bre la figura del desconocido Sixto Rodríguez, supone uno de los mayores éxitos de crítica y público del género rockumentary de los últimos años. Este género es definido por Matt Stahl como “una forma de documental que se centra en la experiencia subjetiva de una obra particular dentro y fuera de las industrias culturales capitalistas contemporáneas” (citado en Abeillé, 2012: 56).

  • Food Safety and Informal Markets

    Food Safety and Informal Markets

    FOOD SAFETY AND INFORMAL MARKETS Animal products are vital components of the diets and livelihoods of people across sub-Saharan Africa. They are frequently traded in local, informal markets and this can pose significant health risks. This book presents an accessible overview of these issues in the context of food safety, zoonoses and public health, while at the same time maintaining fair and equitable livelihoods for poorer people across the continent. The book includes a review of the key issues and twenty-five case studies of the meat, milk, egg and fish food sectors drawn from a wide range of countries in East, West and southern Africa, as part of the ‘Safe Food, Fair Food’ project. It gives a realistic analysis of food safety risk by developing a methodology of ‘participatory food safety risk assessment’, involving small-scale producers and consumers in the process of data collection in the data-poor environment often found in developing countries. This approach aims to ensure market access for poor producers, while adopting a realistic and pragmatic strategy for reducing the risk of food-borne diseases for consumers. Kristina Roesel is co-ordinator of the ‘Safe Food, Fair Food’ project, based at the International Livestock Research Institute, Nairobi, Kenya, and also a doctorate candidate at the Free University, Berlin, Germany. Delia Grace is Program Leader, Food Safety and Zoonoses, Integrated Sciences, at the International Livestock Research Institute, Nairobi, Kenya.
