    Five Clips from Africa | norient.com 2 Oct 2021 11:12:51 Five Clips from Africa PLAYLIST by Georg Milz To start the new year ethnologist and journalist Georg Milz sent us a list with five music videos from all around Africa. He shows us some really nice clips between pidgin pop, hip hop pantsula and house, from Nigeria and Mozambique to South Africa and Kenya. By the way he is shaping coupé-décalé from – and that might be surprising – Geneva, Switzerland. Artist: Timaya (Nigeria) Track: Ukwu Pidgin pop music from Nigeria got coined the term Afrobeats with an «s». Even though unlikely Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, Afrobeats is rather unpolitical it is still the most celebrated soundtrack in african nightclubs of today, with a growing impact on global pop music. It fuses and borrows rhythms and melodies from all kind of genres such as Congolese Soukous, R'n'B, Afrobeat, Coupé-Décalé or South African House and spices them up with local lyrics in pidgin english and auto-tune effects. Artists such as P-Square, D’banj or Wizkid are among top selling artists and first stars of this african music movement being played in clubs in the US aswell as in Kingston Jamaica. Timaya is another upcoming star from the megacity of Lagos. With his hit single «Sonko» he recently put a spotlight on the dancehall culture of Lagos biggest ghetto Ajegunle. On his latest song called «Ukuw», meaning waist, he jumped on the bandwagon of Nigeria's state to the art afrohouse productions. This joint not only got us twerking in our office last year.

  • Hip Hop Culture in a Small Moroccan City SMALL MORROCAN CITY
    Seilstad: Hip Hop Culture in a Small Moroccan City SMALL MORROCAN CITY . Hip Hop Culture in a Small Moroccan City Brian Seilstad This paper explores Hip Hop culture by tracing its development from the global level through the Arab world to finally its manifestation in Morocco. Hip Hop culture is defined broadly as a wide range of artistic expressions—rap, graffiti, breakdancing, DJing, etc.—and also a mind-set or way of life. The focus on the Moroccan context starts at the national level, pointing out some of the key artists, issues Moroccan Hip Hop faces, and how this has been explored by scholars of Hip Hop. The paper focuses on an ethnographic exploration of Hip Hop culture in Ifrane, a small Moroccan city. An analytic approach suggested in Patti Lather’s 1991 book Getting Smart informs and expands the paper particularly by privileging the emancipatory power of Moroccan Hip Hop, creating a nuanced view of the impact of Hip Hop on the lives of youth in this small community. Finally, the paper employs a self-reflexive stance to critically view the author’s own position in the research project in order to name some of the challenges and contradictions of a white male American doing Hip Hop research in the Moroccan context. I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco from 2005-2007. During that time, I worked in a small town, Amizmiz, near Marrakesh that I came to see as “normal” in terms of infrastructure, schools, and people. Of course, I am using the term “normal” here ironically as “normal” is one of language’s powerful tools for the creation and maintenance of arbitrary, and often oppressive, cultural values and practices.1 When I moved back to Morocco to work as Al Akhawayn University (AUI) in 2010, I lived in another small town near Fes named Ifrane.

  • Casablanca Jungle Music and Positive Youth Development in Morocco
    Casablanca Jungle Music and Positive Youth Development in Morocco Figure 1. Audience of L'Boulevard 2018 (i.e. music festival in Casablanca) A master thesis in International Development Written by Maha Rhannam ID: 11598891 Under the supervision of Dr. Oliver Seibt Second reader: Dr. Olga Nieuwenhuijs Graduate School of Social Sciences University of Amsterdam 2 Abstract This thesis will be discussing the impact of music engagement on urban youth in Morocco, and more particularly the ways in which music contributes to the empowerment of this population. It will also explore its implications on development strategies in the country. Multiple studies have discussed the evolution of hip-hop in Morocco, however they have failed to encompass the impact of this genre (and other genres as well) on the urban youth of the country. For these purposes, this research aims at uncovering the imprints of music in this day and age on the Moroccan urban youth, both musicians and music aficionados, in the current political and social climates of Morocco. This research is based on an ethnographic study of music-related events (concerts, workshops and open mics) in Casablanca. In order to understand this population segment, qualitative interviews were conducted; all of which demonstrate to some extent the ways in which music empowered, individually or collectively, the aforementioned participants. It seems that music acts more as a “bandaid” for the Moroccan urban youth, as shall be presented throughout this research. Considering the inexistence of a functioning music industry in the country as well as a brittle educational system, this thesis calls for governmental strategies to re-evaluate the importance of arts within education, setting them at the forefront of development strategies in light of the development pathways this could open up for Morocco.

    JAMS 7 (1) pp. 11–23 Intellect Limited 2015 Journal of African Media Studies Volume 7 Number 1 © 2015 Intellect Ltd Article. English language. doi: 10.1386/jams.7.1.11_1 Duncan Omanga Moi University ‘Peeling back the mask’: Remediation and remix of Kenya’s news into popular culture abstRact KeywORDs This article probes how two ‘ordinary news’ events were remediated and remixed remediation by ordinary users, journalists and professional musicians, and were circulated hypermediacy as popular music in Kenya. Specifically, using TV news clips and music videos remix uploaded on YouTube, the article reveals how the digital media allow news events Kenya to be emptied of their ‘hard news’ and to be circulated as either entirely new, or viral as modified artefacts of popular culture. To achieve its aims, the article borrows immediacy and modifies Bolter and Grusin’s logic of remediation to show the conflations and distinctions between news and its digital derivatives, and also their metamorphosis from hard news to popular music. In particular, the article concludes that the process of the remediation of news into remix is a factor of technology, content and context, whose interplay ambiguously interrogates the notion of erasure/invisibility (imme- diacy) and construction/visibility (hypermediacy). 11 JAMS_7.1_Omanga_11-23.indd 11 1/28/15 4:50:47 PM Duncan Omanga 1.
