  • Dueling Bands and Good Girls: Gender, Music, and Nation in Luanda's Musseques, 1961-1974"
    International Journal of African Historical Studies, 37,2 (2Q04) 255 DUELING BANDS AND GOOD GIRLS: GENDER, MUSIC, AND NATION IN LUANDA'S MUSSEQUES, 1961-1974" By Marissa J. Moorman Luanda is known for its late-night parties (or farras) that trail into the wee hours and include a bowl of muzongue (fish broth with pieces of cassava, fish, and chili peppers eaten in order to counteract the impending exhaustion and hangover). On November 11, 2001, the twenty-sixth anniversary of Angola's independence, I was invited to an event called Caldo de Dipanda (Independence Broth) that was to begin at 7 a.m. at the National Radio Station. It was a special independence day version of a bi-monthly live broadcast event hosted by a Sunday morning radio show (Caldo de Poeira, or Dust Broth) where they invite musicians of the older generation to gather, play music together, eat, and reminisce. My fiance (now husband) and I and a friend, tambourine in hand, arrived half an hour after the scheduled beginning to find some 30 people already gathered. We were directed to a table and served typical Angolan dishes—beans with palm oil, muzongue, boiled cassava and sweet potato—and our choice of beverage. The emcee was already playing a variety of old tunes and inviting various musicians up to the stage to sing their golden oldies. Enthusiastic hugs and hellos abounded in the audience and people were obviously quite pleased to be together. Almost all the guests in attendance were musicians in their 50s or 60s and, with a few exceptions, they were all men.

  • Truth, Justice and Reparation in the Western Sahara
    Truth, justice and reparation This summary was written with the difficult goal of condensing the in the Western Sahara report titled “The oasis of memory”, the complete version of which contains over 1000 pages in two volumes. The report includes an analysis of human rights violations in the Western Sahara since 1975 based on interviews and testimonies gathered from 261 victims. It The Oasis of Memory also analyzes the impact on individual people, families and women, the forms of resistance of the victims, and, finally, the demands for Carlos Martín Beristain truth, justice and reparation for victims as well as the responses from the state of Morocco. Eloísa González Hidalgo As Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo Perez Esquivel points out, “In the research work that summarizes the ‘The oasis of memory’ report, Dr. Carlos M. Beristain tries to recover both the Historical Memory and the human rights situation in the Western Sahara, developing an approach that follows the methodology of the Truth Commissions in which he has participated, and combining the psychosocial approach that he contributed to the REMHI Commission in Guatemala, with the importance of gathering direct information and experiences from victims”. The value of memory is in the transformation of life. This report is dedicated to Sahrawi victims and survivors who have made it possible with their courage and generosity. The Oasis of Memory Carlos Martín Beristain MD, is a physician and Doctor of Social Psychology. He has worked for 24 years in Latin America and in the Basque Country with human rights organizations and victims of violence.

  • Cultural Struggles in the Lusofonia Arena: Portuguese-Speaking Migrant Musicians in Lisbon
    AFRIKA FOCUS-Volume 26, Nr. I, 2013-pp. 67-88 Cultural struggles in the lusofonia arena: Portuguese-speaking migrant musicians in Lisbon Bart P. Vanspauwen Instituto de Etnomusicologia, New University of Lisbon, Portugal Approaching music as a point of social connection in the post-colonial city of Lisbon, where cultural entrepreneurs deploy the political concept oflusofonia, this study examines the ways in which local migrant musicians from Portuguese-speaking African countries (PALOPJ, as well as Brazil and East Timor, position themselves in this context. In general, the study shows that there is a lack of recognition of the contribution they make to the expressive culture of the Portuguese capital, and this is related to national preconceptions. Surprisingly, despite several existing coun­ ter-discourses regarding lusofonia, all interviewed musicians do see some future relevance in this concept. They appeal to both supranational institutions and national governments, asking for structural support in order to promote and disseminate all the expressive culture of Portuguese­ speaking African countries, indicating that the contribution of migrant musicians from these countries should be considered as an integral part of Portugal's cultural expression and heritage. Key words: Lusofonia, Portu9al, mi9rant musicians, cultural policy, postcolonialism 0 Mar foi ontem o que o idioma pode ser hoje, basta veneer algunsadamastores 1 Mia Couto 1.

  • Portraits of Saharawi Music: When Cultural Preservation Meets Political Activism
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Rhodes University: Hosted Journals PORTRAITS OF SAHARAWI MUSIC: WHEN CULTURAL PRESERVATION MEETS POLITICAL ACTIVISM by VIOLETA RUANO POSADA Abstract. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork done mainly in the Saharawi refugee camps and the development of “Portraits of Saharawi Music” (2013–2014), a collaborative music archiving and research project in partnership with the British Library and the Saharawi Ministry of Culture, this article analyses issues in the political realities for Saharawi refugees from the perspective of the musicians and the cultural authorities in the refugee camps. In addition, it explores methodological and ethical issues derived from the uses of political and cultural activism as an ethnomusicological research method. It examines the interactions of the ideologies, motivations and personal relationships of the researcher, the musicians and the institutions involved in this recording project, focusing on the selection of repertoire as an activist act and the impact of doing advocacy research on an extremely vulnerable social group as the Saharawi refugee community. In agreement with basic principles of social responsibility of academia, it supports the role of “activist researcher”; but it cautions that it is essential for researchers to understand how relations of knowledge and power are produced, perpetuated, and challenged in specific situations of conflict, in order to turn their research into a true collaborative action.
