MUSIC OF THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH
Valerie Dee Naranjo has a passion for the simple yet powerful Native American songs of her homeland, and for the complex yet soulful West African keyboard percussion music that has bonded, healed, and grooved for centuries. A Colorado native of Ute and Latin descent, she is a specialist on the Gyil (jee-lee), one of the many existing West African marimbas. This instrument, popular in a remote area of Ghana, holds in its grace and complexity keys to African harmonic and polyrhythmic concepts. Ms. Naranjo studied the gyil in Ghana, where in 1988 her playing led to the declaration of a chiefly decree in the Dagara nation that women be allowed to play the instrument. Also in the same region, in 1996, she and Barry took a "First Place" in the Kobine Traditional Festival competition, the first non-Ghanaian ever to do so. Valerie has released five CD's, including the just released

towards a phase-out of international financial institution support of fossil fuel and mining projects
endorse this call for action
To: all organizations and movements concerned with fossil fuel and mining projects Friends and colleagues, Friends of the Earth International is seeking your support for a campaign that aims to phase out International Financial Institution financing for fossil fuel and mining projects. In the past several years, public financial institutions such as the Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) have come under increasing fire for their large volume of lending in the fossil fuel and mining sectors. As concerns about climate change escalate, and as the development impacts of extractive industries become increasingly dubious, citizens around the world are questioning the role that publicly financed institutions have in perpetuating extraction-based economies and fossil fuel dependence rather than clean energy. Acknowledging this concern, the World Bank agreed to undertake a heavily flawed process of examining its role in the fossil fuel and mining sectors. In response, Friends of the Earth International has produced a position paper calling for an immediate moratorium and eventual total phase-out of International Financial Institution (IFI) investments in these sectors. This call is directed at the World Bank, as well as the rest of the MDBs and ECAs. The Oilwatch Network has similarly called for a moratorium on investments in these sectors.

    How was it at the beginning?
    Father John Henschel C.S.Sp. of Bagamoyo Parish, Tanzania is the author of this booklet. Undoubtedly his inspiration derives from the fact that he [from Germany] has lived for years at a famous historical place, Bagamoyo, where the first Catholic missionaries set foot in Tanzania mainland to proclaim the Gospel. On the other side Bagamoyo is a famous slave trading centre and also the place where the remains of Dr David Livingstone were kept for some time before being sent abroad fore burial. "Since time immemorial men found answers in a unique style, in the style of narrated stories, narrated in myths…A myth is a story told in a special way which originates in prehistorical time…The myths elucidate that even the first men, millenniums and millenniums ago, were able to see not only the nature around them. They had the ability to understand what is behind the foreground, to understand profound realities. As the last profound reality they recognized God" (p. 9).
    In everyday life, each one of us has three main important questions: WHAT—WHENWHY. Myths are basically memories of the past. Africa tells thousands of such old myths. This book, "What African Myths Tell" with its subtitle "How was it at the beginning?" discusses seven myths selected from six different African ethnic groups (nations) who live thousands of kilometres away from one another, but tell the same myths.

    Bermel's
    Soul Garden Derek Bermel is one of those musicians with so much talent in so many areas that he could easily be mistakenly labeled a dilletante. Afterall, he writes chamber, symphonic, dance, theater and pop works, and is a terrific clarinetist, pianist and conductor, who is just as comfortable with jazz and rock as he is with classical. But, Soul Garden, a new CD of Bermel's chamber works, demonstrates just how serious a composer Bermel is and how well he has assimilated his varied musical experiences and made then uniquely his own. Bermel has studied ethnomusicology and orchestration in Jerusalem, Lobi xylophone in Ghana, uillean pipes in Dublin and Thracian folk style in Bulgaria. He trained at Yale University and the University of Michigan, and later in Amsterdam, studying composition with William Albright, Louis Andriessen, William Bolcom and Michael Tenzer. The eight works on Soul Garden are performed by Bermel on the clarinet, along with cellist Fred Sherry, pianist Christopher Taylor, the Borromeo String Quartet, violist Paul Neubauer and others, and lovingly recorded by producer Judy Sherman. They present, for the first time, an overview of Bermel’s small-ensemble writing which, he has said, focus mainly on musical narratives and more conceptual pieces. The title piece, Soul Garden, was originally written for a dance company, but evolved into a piece showcasing Paul Neubauer on viola. Two pieces, Turning and SchiZm, draw on specific musical styles he was studying. A distinctive thread throughout is what he calls "gesture," his dramatic voice-like phrasing.

    A Mosadi (Woman) Reading of Proverbs 31:10-31
    Madipoane Masenya (ngwana' Mphahlele)
    Due to the familiarity of the poem of Proverbs 31:10-31 in my ecclesiastical circles, I got attracted to the text and determined to research on it. My aim was to move away from a literalistic reading (a reading so common in our churches) to a contextual women's liberationist reading of biblical texts. My interest was also motivated by my keen desire to understand what ideal womanhood is from the two contexts: The African/South-African/Northern Sotho context and the Israelite/Jehud biblical context. In the following lines, I will briefly outline some of the findings of my doctoral research. Due to my commitment to a study of my context and noting the insufficiency of Western women's liberationist frameworks (cf. womanism, feminism) to address my context fully, I decided to formulate an approach which could address my unique African/South-African context. I have called this approach, a

    LIVIO GUARDI AND WILSON MONTUORI Livio Guardi and Wilson Montuori are an acoustic duo who have found their unique musical blend after ten years of performing together. Their repertoire includes songs in English and Italian, and they play instrumental pieces that draw from Mediterranean, Blues, Old-Time, Jazz, Latin and Irish music. The variety of instruments and their touch of Italian humor makes this duo an incredible musical journey. Livio and Wilson have played extensively in ltaly in renowned clubs like the "Armadillo" in Sarzana (Sp), the "Teatro Marconi" in Salzano (Ve), the "Folkclub" in Rome, the "Bluesin" in Vicchio, and important acoustic festivals like the "Musicanti" in Torino. From "Fantastic, invigorating, hip-moving acoustic guitar," (as the Italian paper La Nazione di Empoli called their performance), to open-tuning boogie-woogies and Scottish banjo standards, to soul-wrenching Italian blues and waltzes and haunting melodies "born in the silence of a winter's night," Guardi and Montuori's will take you on a whirlwind musical world tour without asking you to so anything even remotely resembling holding hands and singing "we are the world."

    Introduction
    Features of Africa
    Africa is the second-largest continent , after Asia, covering 30,330,000 sq km; about 22% of the total land area of the Earth. It measures about 8,000 km from north to south and about 7,360 km from east to west. The highest point on the continent is Mt. Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Point - (5,963 m/19,340 ft) in Tanzania. The lowest is Lake 'Asal (153 m/502 ft below sea level) in Djibouti. The Forests cover about one-fifth of the total land area of the continent.
    The Woodlands, bush lands, grasslands and thickets occupy about two-fifth.
    And the Deserts and their extended margins have the remaining two-fifths of African land. World's longest river : The River Nile drains north-eastern Africa, and, at 6,650 km (4,132 mi), is the longest river in the world. It is formed from the Blue Nile, which originates at Lake Tana in Ethiopia, and the White Nile, which originates at Lake Victoria. World's second largest lake : Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the is the world's second-largest freshwater lake - covering an area of 69,490 sq km (26,830 sq mi) and lies 1,130 m (3,720 ft) above sea level. Its greatest known depth is 82 m (270 ft).

    Exhibition Description:
    Art and Life in Burkina Faso, Land of Upright People
    Carleton College Art Gallery
    April 3 - May 8, 2002 The art works gathered here come from Burkina Faso, the West African nation formerly known as Upper Volta. In 1984, former President Thomas Sankara (1949-1987) renamed the country Burkina Faso, drawing together words from the languages of the country's major populations, the Mossi and the Dyula. Roughly translated, Burkina Faso means "the land of upright people." Located at the southern edge of the Sahara Desert, with national boundaries drawn by the French during the colonial era, many diverse peoples live in this dry, landlocked country, independent since 1960. Burkina Faso's population is made up of more than sixty different ethnic groups. The country's complex cultural diversity is reflected in this exhibition which includes works of art by Bwa, Bobo, Kassena, Lela, Lobi, Mossi, Nuna, Nunama, Toussian, Turka, and Winiama artists. While Burkina Faso is often described as one of the most economically impoverished countries in the world, with an average annual per capita income of between two and three hundred dollars, in terms of cultural traditions, it is one of the richest places on earth. The peoples of Burkina Faso create a wide range of objects, diverse in form, function, size and scale, and employing many different materials and technologies. Within their original contexts, art works are valued not only for their aesthetic qualities, but also for their functional efficacy. In Burkina Faso, art is not just something to look at, but also serves life-sustaining purposes, vital to the well-being of individuals and the larger society.
