Excerpt: ...the tune of this chant with the lovely and plaintive little song in the legend of "The Daughter and the Slave" (page 125); the melodies are strikingly alike, though this one shows European influence in the swing of its major phrase and in the three repeated notes which end the cadence. That a song sung by natives working in Beira might well be tinged with European influence will be seen from the following quotation from R. C. F. Maughan's "Portuguese East Africa."2 "In the port of Beira probably every race and tribe of East, Central and South African natives may be daily encountered. At Beira, and in the other principal settlements, moreover, one sees the enormous hold which European manners and customs are obtaining amid a people who, a few years ago, were practically ignorant of them, and how the native, whose needs and horizon were, until recently, bounded by his maize-patch and tobacco-garden, has had needs created for him which only hard work or roguery can enable him to compass." (Metrical translation to fit the original African rhythms) Kwae'ja no makashot', Day dawns with freight to haul, Eya, eya, Eya, eya, Kwae'ja no makashot', Day dawns with freight to haul, Jika mala'ka! Look for the label! (Literal translation) Dawn, --with freight, Yes, yes! Dawn, --with freight, Look for the label! '"Portuguese East Africa," by R. C. F. Maughan; E. P. Dutton & Co., New York, 1906; pp. 258_259. II Ma'le Kambe'n' Money in Kamben' "Kambe'ni" is the native name for a spot on the Pungwe River in Portuguese East Africa, known on the map as Fonte Villa. At one time the English, who had obtained railroad concessions from the Portuguese, planned to make a large port at this place, and also to build...

Download or read book African Stars written by Veit Erlmann and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1991-09-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years black South African music and dance have become ever more popular in the West, where they are now widely celebrated as expressions of opposition to discrimination and repression. Less well known is the rich history of these arts, which were shaped by several generations of black artists and performers whose struggles, visions, and aspirations did not differ fundamentally from those of their present-day counterparts. In five detailed case studies Veit Erlmann digs deep to expose the roots of the most important of these performance traditions. He relates the early history of isicathamiya, the a cappella vocal style made famous by Ladysmith Black Mambazo. In two chapters on Durban between the World Wars he charts the evolution of Zulu music and dance, studying in depth the transformation of ingoma, a dance form popular among migrant workers since the 1930s. He goes on to record the colorful life and influential work of Reuben T. Caluza, South Africa's first black ragtime composer. And Erlmann's reconstruction of the 1890s concert tours of an Afro-American vocal group, Orpheus M. McAdoo and the Virginia Jubilee Singers, documents the earliest link between the African and American performance traditions. Numerous eyewitness reports, musicians' personal testimonies, and song texts enrich Erlmann's narratives and demonstrate that black performance evolved in response to the growing economic and racial segmentation of South African society. Early ragtime, ingoma, and isicathamiya enabled the black urban population to comment on their precarious social position and to symbolically construct a secure space within a rapidly changing political world. Today, South African workers, artists, and youth continue to build upon this performance tradition in their struggle for freedom and democracy. The early performers portrayed by Erlmann were guiding lights—African stars—by which the present and future course of South Africa is being determined.

Download or read book Roland Hayes written by Christopher A. Brooks and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “gripping, sensitive” biography of the trailblazing singer who carved a path for African American artists including Marian Anderson and Paul Robeson (The Atlanta Voice). Performing in a country rife with racism and segregation, the tenor Roland Hayes was the first African American man to reach international fame as a concert performer. He became one of the few artists in the world who could sell out Town Hall, Carnegie Hall, Symphony Hall, and Covent Garden. Performing the African American spirituals he was raised on, his voice was marked with a unique sonority which easily navigated French, German, and Italian art songs. A multiculturalist both on and off the stage, he counted among his friends George Washington Carver, Eleanor Roosevelt, Ezra Pound, Pearl Buck, Dwight Eisenhower, and Langston Hughes. This “substantial and well-documented” biography spans the history of Hayes’s life and career and the legacy he left behind as a musician and a champion of African American rights (BBC Music Magazine). It is an authentic, panoramic portrait of a man who was as complex as the music he performed. “Like many generations of celebrated African American concert artists, I am an inheritor of the legacy left by the great Roland Hayes. Yet, we hardly know his name today. With this long overdue book, the oversight is now remedied.” —Lawrence Brownlee, Metropolitan Opera “A wonderful journey through Hayes’ performances, racial plight and acceptance.” —Examiner.com
