Miriam Makeba Interview - 1966

Jerry Ragavoy in the Cathedral Of Soul

Dec 27, 2011, 4:34pm Boogie Woogie Flu
Jerry Ragavoy in the Cathedral Of Soul When Howard Tate died on December 2, 2011, most obituaries for the great soul singer mentioned the name of another man who'd passed on in July of this year. Jerry Ragovoy (September 4, 1930 – July 13, 2011) was a songwriter, producer, pianist, and the studio Svengali behind Tate's career masterpiece, the 1967 Verve album originally issued as Howard Tate and later retitled Get It While You Can . Arguably, Ragovoy never made a better album in his career. In fact, Rags didn't make that many albums: Much of his most influential music appeared on singles released [...]

Miriam Makeba vs. One Self

Sep 28, 2011, 4:29am Le Mellotron
Zenzile Makeba Qgwashu Nguvama était et restera une figure emblématique de l'Afrique du Sud. On la connait bien sûr sous son nom de scène Miriam Makeba . Elle grandit dans un cadre familiale très difficile. Sa mère emprisonnée quelques jours après sa naissance, son père qui meurt alors qu'elle n'a que 5 ans et l'apartheid qui commence à ses 15 ans. C'est sûrement un peu de tout cela (injustice et mouvements politiques) qu'est apparu en Miriam la volonté de faire bouger les choses, de faire entendre sa voix. Et par chance elle le [...]

Miriam Makeba-Pata Pata

Jul 9, 2011, 12:11pm Jam and a Half
Miriam Makeba-Pata Pata Go to almost any megaclub in the world right now and you're likely to hear the same songs. Take away most of the lyrics other than the chorus and honestly I don't think people would really notice/care. There is nothing behind it, no greater meaning, no higher cause. This is not an attack on getting funky on the dance floor, as I'm known to do, but like my buddy Joey talked about in his great post a while back, the abscene of something more in a lot of modern music is something that belittles it.

World Music Wednesday! Miriam Makeba: Mama Afrika

Sep 22, 2010, 10:52pm Ride The Tempo
World Music Wednesday! Miriam Makeba: Mama Afrika By Sweet Sound of Sunrise Miriam Makeba was born in 1932 in apartheid South Africa, where opportunities for black citizens were limited by state-imposed segregation. She started playing professionally in 1952, but had her professional breakthrough in the musical King Kong , a jazz opera about the career of South African boxer Ezekiel Dlamini. This was followed by an appearance in the documentary Come Back, Africa , which introduced her to a worldwide audience. With some help from Harry Belafonte in launching her career - including a 1966 [...]

"Out of the gin mills": Rogosin's Bowery

Sep 18, 2010, 8:59am WFMU's Beware of the Blog
"Out of the gin mills": Rogosin's Bowery Back in 1987, Berlin-based filmmaker (and one of my former professors) Karl Kels made a short piece called "Bowery/Fragment" while on a fellowship from Cooper Union. It's seven silent, black-and-white minutes in front of the Prince Hotel with a group of now-extinct Bowery bums. The men sit around in chairs, dominating the sidewalk, drinking beers and clowning around. They seem to show no signs of shame or embarrassment when one man begins playing with the sagging breasts of another. Nowadays, we're most likely to visit the Bowery for one of three purposes: going [...]

South Africa – Vol. 4

Jul 9, 2010, 6:56am Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
South Africa – Vol. 4 The party is almost over. On Sunday, two hands will receive the World Cup trophy and lift it high as confetti sprays out of machines, reminding me that some poor souls will have to clean up the mess. For South African residents in the seven host cities, it has been a ride. The vibe has been amazing, and the tournament has been very well organised. The special courts that were set up to deal with crime have been in a somnolent state due to inaction. I am sure those bottomless pits of vomit in the European and British [...]

Root for Your Roots: The World Cup of Music

Jun 26, 2010, 8:49pm Uncensored Interview Blog
Brazilian Girls : Two Nation Army . Now that the U.S. has been knocked out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, who should Americans root for? (Those of us who follow football, anyway.) Well, if we're as multi-culti as we like to think, we probably all have roots in other countries-or a couple if you're Brazilian Girls' Sabina Sciubba. The best part about the World Cup is the exposure it brings to international music. Two-hundred and four countries attempted to qualify for this installment of the World Cup, and here we present a selection of [...]

Malika Ayane canta a Casa Azzurri: il live sarà trasmesso il 25 giugno su Radio Italia In questo periodo, la voce femminile che cavalca nel migliore dei modi l'onda del successo é quella di Malika Ayane impegnata nel suo Grovigli Tour fino al 31 agosto. Tra i molti impegni della raffinata interprete é in programma anche un live per il 24 giugno nel dopo partita Italia-Slovacchia, quando si esibirà per i giocatori della nazionale, che ci auguriamo passino il turno, e i tifosi italiani che hanno raggiunto il Sud Africa per sostenere la squadra italiana.

world cup! 16 great south african songs

world cup! 16 great south african songs rural south african soccer The World Cup starts today and I'm in the thick of it. A game will be played 500m from my doorstep in a few scant hours. The anticipation is madness; I think the country will explode before the first game. My South African parents didn't listen to pop music but we did have Graceland . My brother and I would blast the opening accordion riff of "I Know What I Want" and dance around the living room while my parents were out. After that I started collecting music on [...]

Any Major Beatles Covers: 1962-66

Apr 9, 2010, 12:23am Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Any Major Beatles Covers: 1962-66 The last ever photo of the Beatles together, as far as I know. Ringo and Paul wave goodbye, George looks exceedingly pleased, and John looks for Yoko (or perhaps Allen Klein). Tomorrow, 10 April, marks the 40th anniversary of Paul McCartney announcing the offcial disbandment of The Beatles. Of course, the Beatles were finished long before that. The final session for the Abbey Road album was, as the song had it, The End. And the guys knew it. Still, nothing was announced until 10 April 1970, when Paul unilaterally declared the Beatles kaputt. There [...]

I've been loving a certain Josef Albers-inspired Honda...

I've been loving a certain Josef Albers-inspired Honda... I've been loving a certain Josef Albers -inspired Honda commercial (see video below) for a while now and finally went searching for the song playing in the background. Turns out, the song it comes with a hell of a story. Miriam Makeba - "Pata Pata " Notice the click clicks? This song is in Xhosa, the language of native South Africans. The singer, Miriam Makeba, grew up singing in South Africa. After a lot of success in SA, she took her music west to the US and Europe with the support of Harry [...]

Flashback Friday: Miriam Makeba

Feb 5, 2010, 9:00am Guilt Free Pleasures
While watching a Jets game with my family a few weekends back, every few commercial breaks I was treated to a car commercial built around a catchy, unstoppably joyous, African-sounding pop song. As far as I could tell, however, the lyrics weren't in English, so my hopes of simply being able to ask the internet later that evening were temporarily dashed, until my dad noticed the commercial for
