Subject: Africa's Rocky Dawuni LIVE @ Zanzibar April 28, 2005!!
For Immediate Release
April 21, 2005
ROCKY DAWUNI AND THE REVELATION PROJECT
LIVE @ AFRO FUNKE'
PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT NEXTAID
The Black Star of Africa, Rocky Dawuni, returns to the southland after his
recent homeland concert in Ghana which was telecast to over 20 million people
throughout the West African nation. Dawuni is now set to thrill LA fans with a
special benefit performance on Thursday, April 28, 2005 at Zanzibar in Santa
Monica with DJ Jeremy Sole's Musaics.
Rocky Dawuni continues to blaze new Afro Roots paths with his
forthcoming genre-bending album Book of Changes. Audiences can expect to hear
live versions of his progressive fusion of Reggae, Afro Beat, traditional
African rhythms, and Hip Hop neo-griotism while raising funds to create
sustainable solutions for African children orphaned as a result of AIDS.
Book of Changes was just declared "a classic" by BBC Radio 3's Africa on your
Street writer JJC and Los Angeles flagship stations KCRW and KPFK have just
added the album to their play lists. Stand-out tracks "Wake the Town" and
"Africa For Learn" have been enjoying massive air play on Garth Trinidad's
Chocolate City as well as on Charlie Gillet's famed Sound of the World Show on
the BBC, while
Book of Changes has already snagged huge pre-release notoriety with the
inclusion of two tracks on a recent season finale of "ER."
Don't miss this opportunity to witness tomorrow's music today and
supporting NextAid's mission to use "the beats of our generation to
provide hope for the next."
Book of Changes will simultaneously be made available pre-release at the
concert and on Rocky's website <http://www.rockydawuni.com/>

About Ta Ke Ti Na
Ta Ke Ti Na is a musical process originated by Austrian percussionist
Reinhard Flatischler. It is an opportunity to learn about the world of
rhythm and how rhythmic knowledge can open new pathways to learning and
self-definition. Learning can be a magical, joyful, and powerful process
that allows us to use our innate instincts and our natural abilities to
explore the world around us and within us.
In ancient cultures, learning music was ascribed special value; it
simultaneously encouraged personal, social, and intellectual development,
involving both the body and the soul, both emotions and analytic thinking.
Learning music was holistic learning at its best.
Ta Ke Ti Na combines principles and techniques that cannot be found in any
other current education system. Its principles and techniques can be taken
far beyond the realm of Ta Ke Ti Na. They can be applied to all kinds of
learning situations, and, used in the right way, they can revive our primal
fascination with the process of learning. Ta Ke Ti Na philosophy holds that
each of us has access to a deeper understanding of our own lives than our
waking consciousness can recognize. But this only holds true for the
archetypal realm; the world of rhythm archetypes is where the Ta Ke Ti Na
learning process begins.
Rhythm archetypes are a mirroring of vibrational laws in our consciousness
and form the foundation of our rhythmic knowledge and skills. For a child
born in an environment filled with rhythm, these archetypes are naturally
activated. Over the centuries, the lack of profound and ongoing contact
with drums and rhythm has caused much of the western world to lose contact
with these fundamental rhythmic laws in music and in nature. The seeds of
this knowledge reside within us yet remain ungerminated; to access them, we
need only find our way back.
Ta Ke Ti Na is a profound rhythm experience wherein the body itself is the
instrument. Using simple steps, clapping, and call-and-response singing, we
internalize the simultaneous constructions. Through rhythmic physical
exploration, we recognize that the tools we use in more analytical
processes are not useful for all types of learning. We accept that our
failures are equally useful as our successes, and we learn to exult in
falling in and out of rhythm.
Founded by Austrian percussionist Reinhard Flatischler in 1970, Ta Ke Ti Na
is an outgrowth of Reinhard's decade of musical studies and research in
Cuba, Brazil, Korea, India, Bali and other countries. The Ta Ke Ti Na
process is built on Rhythm Archetypes--a mirroring of rhythmic laws and
universal images in our unconscious and a genetic imprint passed down
through all time. These archetypes have been uncovered by every culture on
earth. In Ta Ke Ti Na, these laws have been synthesized into a coherent
process that enables everyone to access his or her own rhythmic ability.

http://www.calendarlive.com/music/cl-et-sunny23apr23,2,7653766.story
POP BEAT
It's OK to toss cash at royalty
King Sunny Adé doesn't mind if you shower him with greenbacks. In fact, he'll
play until 4 a.m. to show his gratitude.
By Richard Cromelin
Times Staff Writer
April 23, 2005
SOLANA BEACH, Calif. — The musicians in King Sunny Adé's band have many
talents. They can play his polyrhythmic pieces for hours with unflagging spirit
and precision. They look sharp in their patterned Nigerian garments. They're
able to dance when called upon and are always ready with an infectious smile.
And on Wednesday they showed their skill at scooping up the money that
fluttered to the floor of the stage during the group's concert at the Belly Up
Tavern here. This abundant currency was presented to singer-guitarist Adé by
audience members who approached him as he played and, with great ceremony,
either showered the greenbacks over him like confetti or stuck them to his
perspiring forehead.
This custom, known as "spraying" or "dashing," is rarely enacted outside of its
African setting, but Adé, one of the biggest international stars in African
music for more than two decades, is including it as an added attraction on his
first U.S. tour in several years. The opening act is an exponent of eastern
Nigeria's highlife music, Prince Obi Osadebe.
"A lot of people really wanted to see how we normally do it in Nigeria, in our
parties and Nigerian concerts," Adé, 58, said backstage before Wednesday's
show. "Many people said they saw it on TV or a video ... so my management said
I should include it .... We started doing it and everybody really enjoys it. It
has been going very well."
The tour will stop tonight at the Vanguard in Hollywood, where Adé will
introduce locals to another regular feature of his performances back home:
He'll play until 4 in the morning.
The spraying and the "praise singing" — in which the performer reciprocates by
singing flattering words about his benefactors — are part of the musical/social
fabric in Nigeria. At parties held for naming ceremonies, weddings, business
openings and other occasions, people's prominence is often measured by the
exchange.
"It's a sign of respect, and it's also a means of getting the singer to sing
your praise," says CC Smith, editor of the Los Angeles-based world music
magazine the Beat. "It actually is a demonstration of status — showing off your
wealth makes you the big man or top dog in the society. The more you can give
away, the richer you are considered. And then, of course, the singer starts
singing your praises for all to hear.
"I've been to shows where they've done nothing but. People were virtually
lining up to throw money on the singer, and the whole song was talking about
whoever was currently pasting the money on his head."
At the Belly Up, the spraying began about halfway through the nearly two-hour
show, when a man in an African-design shirt danced up to Adé and began tucking
bills into his collar and pressing them against his head. Three women soon
joined him, and they remained on stage and danced after bestowing their cash.
Adé stood at the side of the stage and faced them as he began the praise
singing. At Nigerian parties the singer knows a lot about the people he's
addressing, but here it appeared more impromptu. At one point one of the women
whispered to a backup singer, who in turn said something to Adé, presumably
some information for him to incorporate in his lyrics.
Adé sings in the Yoruba language, so while the words themselves might have been
foreign to the predominantly non-African audience, the intimacy and spontaneity
of this moment were mesmerizing, all the more so because it was delivered with
dazzling rhythmic complexity and precision.
That's been the hallmark of King Sunny Adé's juju music for decades, and his
sound is as fresh and vibrant in 2005 as it was when he made his initial splash
in the U.S.
At the Belly Up, the size of the stage limited his lineup to 14 players (with
three vivacious female dancers occasionally squeezing in to shake their stuff),
but with a phalanx of drums behind three electric guitars and keyboards, they
mounted the same rippling, intricate, effervescent kind of grooves that first
endeared him to Western audiences.
Adé was already a star in Nigeria when his fame began to spread in Europe in
the early '80s. He signed with Island Records and was presented to the world as
an emissary of a great Third World music, somewhat in the tradition of Bob
Marley.
Adé wasn't political like Marley, but his influence has been profound on the
international spread of African music and the growth of world music as a vital
genre.
Though his prominence here faded after the initial wave, when he and his band
headlined such venues as the Hollywood Palladium and the Greek Theatre, Adé has
nothing but good memories about those times.
"I'd been longing to let the whole world hear my music, juju music, and it was
like a door opener for me from Island Records," he said backstage Wednesday.
"It was like a new thing to the Western world, and they gave me an opportunity
to play it live....
"They opened the door not only for me but for other African musicians and all
African music.... And the people here are still liking it."
