            <description><![CDATA[  The stage right before the festival officially began [Image courtesy of Brenda Wambui]   "African Music under African Skies". That's the tagline for Sauti za Busara, the annual music festival that takes place in Zanzibar at the Old Fort; the just-completed 9th edition ran from Wednesday 8th to Sunday 12th February. The aim of the festival is to promote East African music, in all its wealth and diversity, and judging from the array of artistes we saw over the three days I'd say it succeeded. (For anyone unfamiliar with this part of East Africa,  Zanzibar  is a Tanzanian island group 25 - 50km off the mainland coast). ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      It's not something you seldom see, it's something you never see. A white British or American singer or band doing a cover version of a song by an African artist. There are lots of examples of the opposite, African artists covering songs by white British and American artists, and it just seems like the natural order of things. ]]></description>

            <link><![CDATA[http://www.thisisafrica.me/music/detail/19390/Where-is-the-African-Audience-for-reissued-African-Music]]></link>
            <description><![CDATA[      In the last few years, there has been a huge revival in the reissue market for African music from the 60s and 70s. Prior to these reissues, hearing this music meant procuring original pressings which were rare, and expensive. These reissues have been a cash cow for quite a few labels, many who wouldn&rsquo;t exist without this timeless music. This isn&rsquo;t condemnation on my part; I think the rediscovery is a wonderful thing. Unless you were around to experience the music firsthand, or have older relatives who did, this is new music for most people, Africans included. I am firmly rooted in Nigerian music, but many of the reissues from other African countries are new to me as well, so I am grateful. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[  In his final dispatch from West Africa,  Boima Tucker  (above) gives his role as a cultural middleman a solid cross-examination. (A co-publication with the  The Cluster Mag .)   During my last weekend in the city of Monrovia, I was invited to DJ at the large, western-style club Deja Vu. This venue, owned by a young, Liberian-born Lebanese man, charges a $10 cover &mdash; most Liberians live on less than $1.50 a day.&nbsp;Deja Vu fills up on weekends with twenty-something NGO workers and&nbsp;the local elite class of the young and the hip. It boasts a host of American Hip-hop video clich&eacute;s: large VIP sections, bottle service, and a small army of working girls. The amount of money the club collects has plenty in the local entertainment industry (including non-Liberians) practically watering at the mouth. I wasn&rsquo;t going to get paid for my services, but I thought it would be an interesting experience and a fun way to spend my last weekend. I excitedly took the gig. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ 2011 was as good a year as any for Naija music, and if you're a fan then this compilation will be right up your street.   If you're not already into Naija music it's worth knowing that Nigeria is the country all other African countries look up to when it comes to contemporary urban music (pop, hip-hop, R&amp;B, Soul, etc.). About a decade ago Naija artists created an instantly recognisable "sound" that basically hit the sweetspot of music lovers across the continent, and they haven't looked back since, producing hit after hit and in the process becoming some of the most well known artists in Africa and in the diaspora. If you remember how Motown at its peak dominated the American music charts, that's what Naija is now to the rest of Africa. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ The presidential elections in DR Congo are about to go down. On November 28, for the second time in history, the people of Congo will be able to choose who will lead the nation until 2016. Is the Kabila dynasty about to be replaced by young blood? One of the contestants, &Eacute;tienne Tshisekedi from the Union for Democracy and Social Progress (UDPS), is in fact 40 years older than sitting president Joseph Kabila, so it's not about all about age in these elections. Still the voting power is with the youth, and one way to win their hearts is through music. And just like major beer brands 'sponsor' their artists (think Primus beer, promoted by the likes of JB Mpiana and Werrason), politicians are represented by musicians.  The Congolese nation has a history of music being recorded in praise of its rulers; even during the colonial era several rumba artists performed songs in honour of Baudouin, king of Belgium. Throughout the reign of Mobutu, many of Congo's popular musicians sung in support of his totalitarian government. One of his occasional critics, the massively popular singer Franco (Luambo Makiadi), once did jail time for recording a controversial lyric but once out of jail released a song called 'Candidat na biso Mobutu' (our candidate Mobutu) urging people to vote for Mobutu. ]]></description>

In a three-day stay in Cotonou from 18 to 20 November the leader of the Roman Catholic church will address a gathering of bishops from all over Africa. They will be presented with 'The Pledge for Africa', an authoritative document talking about the church efforts in promoting reconciliation, justice and peace, following up on a meeting in 2009 at the Vatican by a gathering of African bishops.  The Vatican is looking to spread the message to the masses, and like many governments and NGOs do nowadays, they hired the services of three of the continent's most popular musicians. Congolese musical eminence Papa Wemba, himself a devoted catholic, already  met the Pope  in 2009. ]]></description>

A lot of the time it's because the national media houses and bigger record labels tend to be situated in the main cities, which is one of the reasons artists migrate to these cities. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Sir Bob Geldof, the seasoned musician turned philanthropist, was recently quoted as saying: "I am responsible for two of the worst songs in history. One is  Do They Know It&rsquo;s Christmas?  and the other one is  We Are The World . Any day soon, I will go to the supermarket, head to the meat counter and it will be playing. Every ****ing Christmas."  Why do good intentions lead to some of the worst songs ever committed to tape? And good intentions aimed at Africa, in particular, seem to inspire in artists the very opposite of the sort of creativity they bring to their regular work.   Too often the songs end up committing three crimes: one against music fans (whose intelligence is often insulted and who are expected to actually listen to this stuff), one against the intended "beneficiaries" (whose dignity is often trampled over) and one against art itself.   The surprise isn't just that this happens (you expect some duds in the early years), but that it  still  happens when we've seen examples showing that this sort of thing can be done while leaving everyone's dignity intact. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[  Reppin' Naija, BET Cypher 2011   2009 was the first time BET Hip-hop Awards, the American award show dedicated to hip-hop, included African rappers in the video segment section known as the Cypher.  Wale  is as much American as Nigerian, so it was the inclusion of Tanzanian rapper  Gsan  of the  X-Plastaz  that was truly significant, especially as he chose to  rap in Swahili . ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[      "It's now cool to be African. It didn't  used  to be. But with the last World Cup, and people like Akon, K'Naan, Idris Elba and even Obama, it's cool to be dark as night or light as snow and speak multiple languages. It's even cool to speak with an accent. It's cool to laugh about the stereotypes and to feel we're no longer in 2nd place. I must say it feels damn good to give people that feeling!" ]]></description>
