Discussed here in relation to these Western European artists, I argue that my concept of cosy otherness derives from the internal other that is both European and foreign (Bohlman 2000: 189–193; Gelbart 2007: 64; McKerrell 2016: 126; O’Flynn 2014: 238). Unlike the conventional definition of a post-colonial other and the concept of an internal other, the cosy other is not ominous, competing, or negative. Rather, it appears charming and unthreateningly different with singular cultural traits such as a performance language other than English, a discernible regional dialect, or a pronounced regionalism. The cultural baggage accumulated over time – for example the troubled history of both Ireland and Scotland with England – is wrapped up in cosiness, niceness and nostalgia.

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..

  • Narratives of Cosy Other in the Media Representations of Female Folk Singers
    Noora Karjalainen IMAGINED, REMEMBERED, GENDERED: Narratives of cosy other in the media representations of female folk singers This article examines the ways in which contemporary folk singers Julie Fowlis (Scotland), Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh (Ireland), Emily Portman and Kate Rusby (England) are constructed in the media as what I call the ‘cosy other’. Discussed here in relation to these Western European artists, I argue that my concept of cosy otherness derives from the internal other that is both European and foreign (Bohlman 2000: 189–193; Gelbart 2007: 64; McKerrell 2016: 126; O’Flynn 2014: 238).

The cultural baggage accumulated over time – for example the troubled history of both Ireland and Scotland with England – is wrapped up in cosiness, niceness and nostalgia. Studying this intermediate stage of otherness reveals the power structures within the popular music scene governing the female artists’ access to the field as well as their representation in the media.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that the virus is a threat to public health and in the absence of a vaccine for treating patients, this has increased concerns among health depart- ments around the world. The WHO also announced earlier this month that Zika, which has appeared in approximately 26 countries, a global health emer- gency. Do we have to worry about this virus in Kuwait, and what should we do? The WHO had sent out warnings of the possibility of Zika virus transmissions to some Arab countries, and the importance of taking neces- sary precautions. Although the infection does not cause any symptoms or permanent damage, the biggest problem is the fear of infection by pregnant women and the possibility of deformation of the brains of fetuses.
