  • Hip Hop Music Economy and Social Change in Senegal, Francophone West Africa
    Reconsidering Cultural Entrepreneurship: Hip Hop Music Economy and Social Change in Senegal, Francophone West Africa Jenny Fatou MBAYE Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) London, July 2011 LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS AND POLITICAL SCIENCE 1 Declaration of Originality I certify that the thesis I am presenting for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the prior written consent of the author. I warrant that this authorization does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. 2 Abstract The increasing interest in the cultural economy is part of an attempt to invent new industrial development strategies that comprises a capacity to transform locations. In policy-making, the cultural economy is commonly framed from an economic perspective that salutes the role of the cultural economy and the dynamics of entrepreneurship in processes of urban and regional developments. Moreover, explorations of cultural economy and entrepreneurship are mainly represented by studies of Europe and North America. This thesis departs from such a normative perspective, and critically examines the links between a situated music economy, its cultural entrepreneurs and social change in West Africa.

  • Afrocubism, the Original Buena Vista Social Club, Perform at the National Concert Hall As Part of the Navigator Series 2011
    Media Release 17 June 2011 AfroCubism, the original Buena Vista Social Club, perform at the National Concert Hall as part of the Navigator Series 2011 AfroCubism, featuring the greatest gathering of Malian and Cuban musicians including the renowned Kora player Toumani Diabaté and Cuban guitarist Eliades Ochoa , will perform at The National Concert Hall on Tuesday 19 July 2011, 8pm as part of the Navigator Series 2011. Described as ‘a joyous, classy, historic affair’ by The Guardian newspaper and ‘a cross-cultural tour de force’ by The Times, AfroCubism brings the best of Cuban and Malian music on stage played by some of the most renowned and respected musicians performing on the world stage today. The group are often referred to as the original Buena Vista Social Club because in 1996, a group of Mali’s finest musicians were due to fly into Havana for a speculative collaboration with some of Cuba’s most talented singers and musicians, however, the Malians never arrived. The result was the epoch defining Buena Vista Social Club. Fourteen years later the band that was meant to be; AfroCubism, released their album of the same name with World Circuit Records (October 2010). Fronting the Cuban team is the cowboy-hatted singer and guitarist Eliades Ochoa, singer of the great Buena Vista theme ‘Chan Chan’. The two original Malian invitees are multi award-winning ngoni lute master Bassekou Kouyate and the extraordinary Rail Band guitarist Djelimady Tounkara, both universally agreed to be among the world’s great instrumentalists. Joining them are Eliades' Grupo Patria, amongst Cuba's longest running and most revered bands, the mercurial kora genius Toumani Diabaté, legendary Malian griot singer Kasse Mady Diabaté and the innovatory balafon player Lassana Diabaté.

  • Le Mandingue
    André Larquié président Brigitte Marger directeur général le Mandingue : l’empire de la parole introduction Ce n’est pas un hasard si la cité de la musique, à la veille de l’an 2000, s’est intéressée aux héritiers d’un Royaume qui a connu son apogée au XIIe siècle de notre ère… C’est même un défi lancé au temps : découvrir une musique contemporaine de notre Moyen Age euro- péen qui a su rester vivante, populaire, évolutive, «classique » au sens noble du terme… Car si cette musique émerveilla les premiers décou- vreurs de l’Afrique noire, c’est aussi celle qui se joue aujourd’hui à l’ombre des gratte-ciel d’Abidjan comme dans les faubourgs de Bamako ou de Conakry, sous ces auvents de toile qui barrent les rues lors des mariages ou des funérailles ; vous l’entendez dans les cours des chefs de village comme à la radio ou à la télévision : dans toute l’Afrique de l’ouest, c’est la musique la plus écoutée, la plus respectée. En cassette, en disque compact, on l’enregistre jour et nuit dans les studios où elle s’accommode sans honte de tous les sons à la mode : synthétiseurs et boîtes-à-rythme ne risqueront pas de dénaturer la musique « mandingue », avec ses voix héroïques, ses instruments de bois et de peaux parfaitement sem- blables à ceux que décrivait le grand explorateur arabe Ibn Batouta en 1352. Cette musique presque millénaire - car elle a sûre- ment précédé la fondation de l’empire du Mali, celui des Mandingues - c’est avant tout celle des « griots ».

  • Les Musiques Africaines”
    1 - Présentation Dossier d’accompagnement de la conférence / concert du vendredi 6 février 2009 proposée dans le cadre du projet d’éducation artistique des Trans et des Champs Libres. “Les musiques africaines” Conférence de Jérôme Rousseaux Concert de Smod Du Sahel au Mali, de l'Éthiopie au Soudan, du Congo à l'Afrique du Sud et avec certaines esthétiques satellites qui sont issues du Maghreb et des îles de l'Océan Indien, les musiques africaines forment un gigantesque puzzle qui est le reflet sonore d'un continent multiple et multiculturel, aussi riche et complexe certainement que l'Europe ou l'Asie. Au cours de cette conférence et en utilisant de nombreux exemples, nous examinerons cette grande diversité et nous aborderons quelques questions fondamentales comme celui du regard occidental qui est parfois proche d'un certain néo-colonialisme, la différence entre la notion d'ethnomusi- cologie et de world music dont le continent africain a été dans les deux cas l'un des terrains de base, la place de la musique dans la société comme l'une des composantes de la vie plutôt qu'un art comme nous l'entendons habituellement, et leperpétuel balancement de beaucoup de ces musiques entre la tradition et la modernité. Enfin, nous montrerons l'aspect matriciel des musiques d'Afrique noire, et l'importance qu'elles ont dans ce que l'on appelle désormais les "musiques actuelles". Nous ferons ressortir leur parenté avec le blues, leur rôle dans l'évolution du jazz, dans le renouveau du rap, et l'influence des rythmes comme l'afrobeat dans toutes les musiques qui se réclament du groove et de la transe.

His compositions are conceived within the frameworks of Philippine and Southeast Asian artistic traditions and feature western and non- western elements, including Philippine indigenous instruments, Javanese gamelan, and the occasional use of western instruments such as the piano. Receiving part of his education in the United States and Germany (M.M from Indiana University, Ph. D. from SUNY Buffalo, studies in atonality and serialism in Darmstadt), his compositional style developed towards the avant-garde and the use of extended techniques. Upon his return to the Philippines, however, he experienced a profound personal and artistic conflict as he recognized the disparity between his contemporary western artistic values and those of postcolonial Southeast Asia. Seeking a spiritual reorientation, he immersed himself in the musics and cultures of Asia, doing fieldwork all over the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, resulting in an enormous body of work.

  • High Fashion, Lower Class of La Sape in Congo
    Africa: History and Culture, 2019, 4(1) Copyright © 2019 by Academic Publishing House Researcher s.r.o. Published in the Slovak Republic Africa: History and Culture Has been issued since 2016. E-ISSN: 2500-3771 2019, 4(1): 4-11 DOI: 10.13187/ahc.2019.1.4 www.ejournal48.com Articles and Statements “Hey! Who is that Dandy?”: High Fashion, Lower Class of La Sape in Congo Shuan Lin a , * a National Changhua University of Education, Taiwan Abstract Vestments transmit a sense of identity, status, and occasion. The vested body thus provides an ideal medium for investigating changing identities at the intersection of consumption and social status. This paper examines the vested body in the la Sape movement in Congo, Central Africa, by applying the model of ‘conspicuous consumption’ put forward by Thorstein Veblen. In so doing, the model of ‘conspicuous consumption’ illuminates how la Sape is more than an appropriation of western fashion, but rather a medium by which fashion is invested as a site for identity transformation in order to distinguish itself from the rest of the society. The analysis focuses particularly the development of this appropriation of western clothes from the pre-colonial era to the 1970s with the intention of illustrating the proliferation of la Sape with the expanding popularity of Congolese music at its fullest magnitude, and the complex consumption on clothing. Keywords: Congo, Conspicuous Consumption, la Sape, Papa Wemba, Vested Body, Vestments. 1. Introduction “I saved up to buy these shoes. It took me almost two years. If I hadn’t bought this pair, I’d have bought a plot of land,” he said proudly, adding that it’s the designer logo that adds to his “dignity” and “self-esteem.” “I had to buy them,” he said.

    Mbalax: Cosmopolitanism in Senegalese Urban Popular Music Timothy Roark Mangin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Timothy Roark Mangin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Mbalax: Cosmopolitanism in Senegalese Urban Popular Music Timothy Roark Mangin This dissertation is an ethnographic and historical examination of Senegalese modern identity and cosmopolitanism through urban dance music. My central argument is that local popular culture thrives not in spite of transnational influences and processes, but as a result of a Senegalese cosmopolitanism that has long valued the borrowing and integration of foreign ideas, cultural practices, and material culture into local lifeways. My research focuses on the articulation of cosmopolitanism through mbalax, an urban dance music distinct to Senegal and valued by musicians and fans for its ability to shape, produce, re-produce, and articulate overlapping ideas of their ethnic, racial, generational, gendered, religious, and national identities. Specifically, I concentrate on the practice of black, Muslim, and Wolof identities that Senegalese urban dance music articulates most consistently. The majority of my fieldwork was carried out in the nightclubs and neighborhoods in Dakar, the capital city. I performed with different mbalax groups and witnessed how the practices of Wolofness, blackness, and Sufism layered and intersected to articulate a modern Senegalese identity, or Senegaleseness. This ethnographic work was complimented by research in recording studios, television studios, radio stations, and research institutions throughout Senegal. The dissertation begins with an historical inquiry into the foundations of Senegalese cosmopolitanism from precolonial Senegambia and the spread of Wolof hegemony, to colonial Dakar and the rise of a distinctive urban Senegalese identity that set the proximate conditions for the postcolonial cultural policy of Négritude and mbalax.
