  • MAURITANIA 547 © Lonely Planet Publications 222 %
    © Lonely Planet Publications 547 Mauritania For many travellers Mauritania is a revelation, a place of such natural beauty that it can substantially change your way of thinking. Spiritual seekers swear by the humungous sand dunes, giddily deep canyons and eye-popping plateaus of the Adrar or the Tagânt. His- tory buffs rave about the World Heritage–listed caravan towns of Chinguetti, Ouadâne and MAURITANIA Oualâta, all testifying to former flourishing civilisations. Sure, there may be similar landscapes in other parts of West Africa, but few are on the same scale or as overpowering as those in Mauritania. But wait! There’s more to Mauritania than grandiose sand fields, millenarian cities and enchanting oases. The country is blessed with a wild stretch of coastline, with Parc National du Banc d’Arguin ranking as one of the best bird-watching venues in the world. Culturally, Mauritania is a place apart. The population is almost equally divided between Moors of Arab descent and Black Africans. It’s a Muslim country with a Black African twist. Although it’s a transition between the North African Arab world and Black Africa, it doesn’t really belong to either. This striking combination is part of its appeal. A lot to love, a whole lot to see and do. Mauritania is much more than a gentle introduc- tion to sub-Saharan Africa – it’s a magnetic playland for mystical types.

LES CHANSONS DE MALOUMA, ENTRE TRADITION, WORLD MUSIC ET ENGAGEMENT POLITIQUE Catherine TAINE-CHEIKH LACITO (CNRS - Universités Paris III et Paris IV) Dans la société bédouine de Mauritanie, musique et chants sont restés, jusqu'à très récemment, l'apanage exclusif d'un groupe social particulier, celui des griots (īggâwən). Mais, petit à petit, leur statut de groupe quasi casté évolue. Alors que, traditionnellement, leur rôle était de composer et chanter les louanges des éléments les plus valeureux des tribus guerrières, ils sont devenus peu à peu, du moins pour les plus doués d'entre eux, des musiciens-chanteurs professionnels.

    Blues aus der Wüste Das theoretische System der Musique Maure Modi, Instrumente und Mikrotonalität von Mike Herting nach Maalouma bint Meidah und Lemrabott ibn Meidah unter Mitarbeit von Aly Ndao Zeichnungen von Isabelle Fiadeiro Über den Autor: Mike Herting ist einer der führenden deutschen Musiker seiner Generation und Fachmann für interkulturelle Zusammenarbeit. Neben dem Studium der klassischen Musik und der Komposition beschäftigte er sich seit frühester Jugend mit dem Jazz und in der Folge mit den Musiken der Welt. Als Komponist, Leiter und Pianist arbeitete er mit einigen der besten Ensembles der Welt: mit der WDR-Bigband, dem London Philharmonic Orchestra, dem Bundesjazzorchester, der NDR-Bigband. Als erster brachte er im Jahr 2000 die klassische südindische Musik in Verbindung mit dem Klangkörper der WDR-Bigband, ausgedehnte Tourneen mit dem Bundesjazzorchester führten ihn nach Indien und Westafrika, jeweils in Verbindung mit führenden Musikern der dortigen Region. Mike Herting arbeitet zur Zeit an der „Sai Symphony“, ein fünfsätziges Werk für klassisches Orchester und einige der besten indischen Solisten, das im November 2015 in Indien aufgeführt werden wird. 2 Inhaltsverzeichnis Vorwort Einleitung Das Tonale System Teil 1: Modi Teil 2: Form Teil 3: Instrumente und Stimmung Teil 4: Die drei Wege; Schwarz und Weiß Teil5: Mikrotonalität Rhythmus Nachwort Anhang 3 Vorwort Schon vor langer Zeit hatte ich zum ersten Mal Musik aus Mauretanien gehört, die mir irgend jemand in den achtziger Jahren auf Kassette überlassen hatte, von einer Sängerin namens Aicha mint Chigalih. Ich liebte diese Kassette und hörte sie oft, auch wenn ich weder den Text noch die Musik verstand. Aber ich erkannte eine große Kraft und Leidenschaft in dieser archaischen, aber dennoch kunstvoll klingenden Musik.

  • Op Reis Naar De Maghreb
    Themalijst Op reis naar de Maghreb al-Maġrib al-ʿArabī) is een aanduiding voor het noordwestelijke deel ال عرب ي ال م غرب :De Maghreb (Arabisch van Afrika. In enge zin behoren Marokko, Algerije, Tunesië, Mauritanië en Libië tot de Maghreb. De letterlijke betekenis van het Arabische woord maghrib is plaats van de ondergang van de zon of westen. Binnen de Islamitische wereld ligt deze regio het meest in het westen, vanuit Saoedi-Arabië gezien. De Maghreb heeft een eigen identiteit binnen de Arabische wereld. Een van de kenmerken van de Maghreb is, dat hier de Maghrebijnse dialecten van het Arabisch worden gesproken, die onderling doorgaans redelijk verstaanbaar zijn, maar die op bepaalde onderdelen, zoals grammatica, verschillen van de Arabische dialecten die bijvoorbeeld in Egypte en het Midden-Oosten worden gesproken. Wel is het vocabulaire nog grotendeels gelijk. Een ander kenmerk van de Maghreb is, dat hier relatief veel Berbers leven of leefden.
