In 1969 Gerhard Kubik chanced to encounter a Mozambican labor migrant, a miner in Transvaal, South Africa, tapping a cipendani, a mouth-resonated musical bow. A comparable instrument was seen in the hands of a white Appalachian musician who claimed it as part of his own cultural heritage. Through connections like these Kubik realized that the link between these two far-flung musicians is African-American music, the sound that became the blues. Such discoveries reveal a narrative of music evolution for Kubik, a cultural anthropologist and ethnomusicologist. Traveling in Africa, Brazil, Venezuela, and the United States, he spent forty years in the field gathering the material for Africa and the Blues. In this book, Kubik relentlessly traces the remote genealogies of African cultural music through eighteen African nations, especially in the Western and Central Sudanic Belt. Included is a comprehensive map of this cradle of the blues, along with 31 photographs gathered in his fieldwork. The author also adds clear musical notations and descriptions of both African and African American traditions and practices and calls into question the many assumptions about which elements of the blues were "European" in origin and about which came from Africa. Unique to this book is Kubik's insight into the ways present-day African musicians have adopted and enlivened the blues with their own traditions. With scholarly care but with an ease for the general reader, Kubik proposes an entirely new theory on blue notes and their origins. Tracing what musical traits came from Africa and what mutations and mergers occurred in the Americas, he shows that the African American tradition we call the blues is truly a musical phenomenon belonging to the African cultural world.

Dans l'Algérie des premiers jours de la Rébellion, José Montfort. un riche colon, surprend un rebelle sur le point de mettre le feu à ses granges et l'exécute sans pitié. Dès cet instant. une lourde fatalité pèsera sur son domaine. Montfort néglige son épouse, Véronique, jeune femme silencieuse et trouble, pour qui le salut semble venir d'un jeune officier de la métropole, le lieutenant Simon. Leur aventure n'échappera pas à l'intuition de Montfort qui, cependant, répondra avec quelque tendresse à la faute de sa femme et lui confessera son terrible et obsédant secret. Désormais, sans cet ultime rempart, Montfort se trouvera privé de la volonté et du désir de vivre. Et, suite à la blessure qu'il reçoit d'un rebelle, il meurt en blasphémant le nom de Dieu. Mais le destin n'en aura pas encore fini... Dans Africa blues, " roman syncopé comme un air de jazz et grisant comme le sirocco qui souffle en rafale sur les mechtas ", Xavier Grall élève le drame algérien aux dimensions dépouillées et graves d'une tragédie grecque et d'un poème universel.

Autant continent que mythe, l’Afrique demeure, encore aujourd’hui, une terre d’aventures pour le voyageur en quête de lui-même et d’horizons à appréhender. Pour le narrateur, l’essentiel n’est pas d’arriver quelque part mais seulement d’y aller. Africa blues est un récit initiatique autant qu’un roman d’amour. Les mots nous emportent vers des paysages et des hommes. Il suffit de se laisser porter.

Tells the remarkable story of how jazz became a key part of South Africa's struggle in the 20th century, and provides a fascinating overview of the ongoing links between African and American styles of music. Ansell illustrates how jazz occupies a unique place in South African music.Through interviews with hundreds of musicians, she pieces together a vibrant narrative history, bringing to life the early politics of resistance, the atmosphere of illegal performance spaces, the global anti-apartheid influence of Hugh Masakela and Miriam Makeba, as well as the post-apartheid upheavals in the national broadcasting and recording industries.

It started with a question about the blues: what makes the music of the downtrodden black man so alluring to white middle-class ears? And that’s where it gets interesting. Because blues is more than a musical genre: it’s a cultural phenomenon that spans several centuries on both sides of the Atlantic, from slavery to Black Lives Matter, from Jan van Riebeeck to Fees Must Fall, from Robert Johnson to Abdullah Ibrahim. In Blues for the White Man, Fred de Vries looks for answers in America’s Deep South, drawing historical parallels with South Africa’s experience of colonialism, slavery, racism, civil war, segrega¬tion and protest. Travelling to Atlanta, Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans and the Mississippi Delta, De Vries speaks to musicians, Black Lives Matter activists and Trump supporters. He continues the conversation in South Africa, interviewing student protesters, white farmers and political thought-leaders to develop an understanding of white supremacy and black anger, white fear and black pain. A fascinating, insightful journey through time and space, Blues for the White Man is a cele¬bration of multiculturalism and a plea for white people to do some ‘second line dancing’ for a change.
