Antibalas and Ocote Soul Media release compilation of side projects to raise
money for New Orleans grassroots reconstruction
Antibalas and Ocote Soul Media present Let Rhythm Provide, a compilation to
benefit progressive grassroots organizations working in New Orleans. The
compilation, assembled a few days after the floods, features unreleased
material from eight distinct musical projects led by members of Antibalas,
encompassing afrobeat, dub, ecstatic jazz, avant-garde pop, rock, and
futuristic folk.
100% of the profits go directly to New Orleans Network
(www.neworleansnetwork.org) Get Your Act On (www.getyouracton.com) and SHONOF
(www.noahleans.org) a group specifically dedicated to helping New Orleans
musicians find work and housing.
The government has let us down, but we have each other, says Martín Perna,
Antibalas founder, and organizer of the project. It is crucial that we send
our money directly to community groups working in New Orleans. The culture,
legacy, and future of New Orleans will be distorted and ruined unless the
people of New Orleans themselves are able to rebuild it. We put this together
in the first week of September while we were in Chicago making a record with
John McEntire at Soma studios. We couldnt do any benefit shows during the
time, so we put this together instead."
The groups represented on Let Rhythm Provide include:
Fu-Arkist-Ra (Amayo)
Speakerphonic (Marcos García)
Volney Litmus (Stuart Bogie)
Beyondo (Eric Biondo)
Ocote Soul Sounds (Martín Perna)
Roots Combination/Ticklah (Victor Axelrod)
Fire of Space (Jordan McLean)
and Small and Medium (Chris Vatalaro).
Soundbites of the songs, as well as links to the artist webpages are online at
www.ocotesoulsounds.com/lrp.
The compilation will be available at Antibalas performances, online at
www.antibalas.com, and directly from the artists represented on the project
with the goal of minimizing all overhead and middlemen.
Please do you part and get some great music!

Subject: Movie - "Ballet Diye Gnohomouna"in Guinea
Salutations
Please let me introduce a group "Ballet Diye Gnohomouna" in Conakry,
Guinea. It's a small ballet started last year.
http://www1.ttcn.ne.jp/Djembe/Ballet_DIYE_GNOHOMOUNA.htm
You can see two 2-minutes long movies, Kassa and Yogui. Yogui has dance. It
was their first concert at Famoudou Konate's house.
I also created an archive page. This page has Sayon Camara's 48-second long
performance movie in addition to the two movies of Ballet Diye Gnohomouna. It
is written in Japanese in the beginning, but you will find English description
and his photo in the middle. I uploaded the movie when I helped him organize a
workshop in Tokyo.

Taken Charge of your Life / Source : By Region Networking By Roger Ellerton
PhD, CMC / Certified NLP Trainer, Certified Management Consultant and
Founder of Renewal Technologies Inc. How do you live your life? At cause
or at effect ? It is important to be aware of thisdistinction. It is the rare
individual who always lives his or her life at cause; however, far too many
of us live a large portion of our lives at effect - responding to the whims,
desires or emotional states of others. Being at cause means that you are
decisive in creating what you want in life and take responsibility for
whatever you achieve. You see the world as a place of opportunity and you move
toward achieving what you desire. If things are not unfolding as you would
like, you take action and explore other possibilities. Above all, you know you
have choice in what you do and how you react to people and events. If you are
at effect, you may blame others or circumstances for your bad moods,
for what you have not achieved or for the disarray of your life in general.
You may feel powerless or depend on others in order for you to feel good about
yourself or about life. Being at cause means you have choices in your life -
you can choose what is best for you while ensuring the choice is ecological
for those around you, in your community and your society. That is, you
consider the consequences of your actions on others, while not taking
responsibility for their emotional well-being.
