Seckou Keita Quartet : retour aux sources Extrait du Au Senegal http://www.au-senegal.com/Seckou-Keita-Quartet-retour-aux.html Seckou Keita Quartet : retour aux sources - Recherche - Actualités - Date de mise en ligne : lundi 15 janvier 2007 Au Senegal Copyright © Au Senegal Page 1/2 Seckou Keita Quartet : retour aux sources Seckou Keita, ce jeune virtuose de la Kora basé en Angleterre depuis 1998, est de retour au pays avec cet extraordinaire quartet qui présente le meilleur de la Soul Afro Mandingue. Il travaille en effet aux cotés du violoniste égyptien Sammy Bishai, du contrebassiste italien Davide Mantovani et du percussionniste gambien Surahata Susso. Ces quatre artistes ont su créer un son unique et dramatiquement profond. En 2004, après leur première tournée triomphante en Angleterre, le groupe n'a cessé de tourner en Amérique du Nord et dans de nombreux pays d'Europe tels que le Royaume Uni, l'Irlande, la Croatie, la Suède et la Suisse. Depuis 2005, ils se sont mis à la conception d'un album et d'un style particulier. La recherche permanente de nouveaux sons, au delà des accords traditionnels, a inspiré de nombreuses mélodies. Leur connaissance collective de la musique leur a invariablement ouvert la voie vers des contrées étonnantes. C'est un voyage musical qui mêle la tradition au modernisme, les contes aux réalités quotidiennes... et le passé au présent et au futur : le tout assemblé dans l'album « Afro Mandinka Soul.. Tama Silo ». Ce retour aux sources est indispensable et important aux yeux de Seckou Keita et des membres du Quartet. Cette tournée au Sénégal est la continuation même du voyage. Elle a été rendue possible grâce au soutien financier du Arts Council England, de l'ambassade sénégalaise à Londres ainsi que le British Council Sénégal.

Contributors' Biographies
CONTRIBUTORS’ BIOGRAPHIES Pouyan Abdoli, Tar Player, Composer, Concert Co-ordinator Poyan Abdoli is educated as a classical tar (‘string’) player at the Teheran Music Conservatory, but can also play the drum tombak, and the water flute ney. Brought up in a family of famous Iranian singers, Abdoli has studied with Iranian masters since he was eight and decided at an early age to become a musician himself. Based on his classical, traditional background, Abdoli has developed his music in many directions, among them towards improvisations open to other influences than those set by the origin of his training and instruments. Based in Norway for the last six years, he has performed widely here, but also in Sweden, England and Germany. Today, Abdoli is the leader of a band called ‘Psychosofi’. In addition, in 2003, he released a CD with the Indian-born tabla player Jai Shankar, thus facilitating an exiled encounter of traditional Iranian and traditional Indian music. At the ‘Activists under Attack’ conference, Abdoli will perform with Per-Kristian Larsen. D. A. V. E. Ader, Ambassador, The Royal Netherlands Embassy to Norway Erik Ader is the Netherland’s Ambassador to Norway and Iceland and is currently also representing the European Union Chair. Prior to coming to Norway, he has served as a diplomat in the Middle East, Latin America, East Africa and South East Asia. Ader has also held various positions in the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including the Inspectorate. Educated an Economist, Ader claims to have no specialist knowledge on human rights defenders. What he knows, he has learnt from his various postings as a diplomat.

Changing Europe – the Power of Dialogue
Changing Europe – The Power of Dialogue 6 –12 October 2019, Potsdam Changing Europe – The Power of Dialogue 6 –12 October 2019, Potsdam hosted by supported by 2 Changing Europe – The Power of Dialogue In a world that is faster, more complicated and fragmented than ever, it is easy to only speak and never listen, to only tweet and never talk. Pressures of pace and finance are mounting. So it is more important than ever to have strong public service media that provide quality journalism that goes out of its way to be a trusted guide, to bring people together and set a tone that enables dialogue. PRIX EUROPA is ALL about dialogue: Come together from all corners of the continent to exchange views, to see/listen for yourself together with the others, to talk and discuss, to meet and be constructive, rather than judgmental or clever. Grab the opportunity to get into conversation, to change perspective, to challenge your opinions and take away inspiration, a shared experience and new ideas. Cilla Benkö PRIX EUROPA President Director General Sveriges Radio – SR 3 Changing Europe – The Power of Dialogue Dear friends and colleagues, PRIX EUROPA is dedicated to the ideal of a united Europe, which commits itself to democratic, ethical and cultural values. This ideal is, however, in acute danger. We have to dread being abruptly pulled out of a dream that we have been living for over six decades. Of all countries, the Mother of all Democracies, the United Kingdom, is separating itself from our community. Over our Europe of togetherness, that so many people envy us for, the threat of disaster is looming.

In his pan-African/pan-Latin approach, Orisha music, hip-hop, rumba, jazz, and Gnawa ritual music are just different expressions of the same culture.” Fernando Gonzalez, DownBeat “Sosa’s vision of contemporary jazz reaches across every imaginable boundary. By the time he had concluded, his unusual array of players and styles had convicingly proved his beliefs in musical eclecticism, in the joy of musical freedom and in his spiritual link with his musical predecessors.” Don Heckman, Los Angeles Times “Sosa moves from delicate, unabashedly romantic melodies to wild blasts of percussive noise in a manner that recalls the best of Keith Jarrett.” Joel Roberts, ALLABOUTJAZZ “Sosa’s music is the unifying sort, yoking together Africa, jazz and Latin America..

As this is an introductory course at the 100 level no previous musical knowledge is required.

To differentiate the subjective and the objective elements of the listening experience and be able to discuss music in an informed and clear way. 3. To be able to discuss form and function of a variety of cultures use of music from around the world. Required text and CD Bakan, Michael B. 2007. World Music: Traditions and Transformations.

What are your thoughts on bringing the Rome season to London? I am thrilled to be bringing the decadence of Shakespeare’s Rome to the Barbican. We are going to present these plays not in the order that they were written but in the order that the stories happen, beginning with Coriolanus – the tale of a semi-fictional character from 500BC – through to Julius Caesar and Antony & Cleopatra, legendary characters who lived just before the birth of Christ. We end with Titus Andronicus, in which we see an entirely imagined Rome at the end of its dominance. In this order we track the ascendance and the decline of a civilisation: the establishment of a republic in the aftermath of the abolition of a monarchy, the republic becoming an empire and ultimately destroying itself. How does Coriolanus fit into the Rome season and your vision as a whole? Coriolanus was the last of the plays to be written and the last in the Stratford season. All four plays were designed by Robert Innes Hopkins and each set built on the one before: the Rome of Antony & Cleopatra is the Rome of Julius Caesar grown bigger, and in Titus Andronicus the same pillars are glassed in, to complement the modern 3 dress production.
