South African musical legend Miriam Makeba makes Her Transition.
By CELEAN JACOBSON, Associated Press Writer Celean Jacobson
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa Miriam Makeba, the South African singer
who wooed the world with her sultry voice but was banned from her own
country for more than 30 years under apartheid, died after collapsing
on stage in Italy. She was 76.
In her dazzling career, Makeba performed with musical legends from
around the world jazz maestros Nina Simone and Dizzy Gillespie,
Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon and sang for world leaders such as John
F. Kennedy and Nelson Mandela.
"Her haunting melodies gave voice to the pain of exile and dislocation
which she felt for 31 long years. At the same time, her music inspired
a powerful sense of hope in all of us,"
Mandela said in a statement.
He said it was "fitting" that her last moments were spent on stage.
The Pineta Grande clinic in Castel Volturno, near the southern city of
Naples, said Makeba died early Monday of a heart attack.
Makeba collapsed on stage Sunday night after singing one of her most
famous hits "Pata Pata," her family said in a statement. Her grandson,
Nelson Lumumba Lee, was
with her as well as her longtime friend, Italian promoter Roberto Meglioli.
"Whilst this great lady was alive she would say: 'I will sing until
the last day of my life'," the statement said.
Castel Volturno Mayor Francesco Nuzzo said Makeba sang at a concert in
solidarity with six immigrants from Ghana who were shot to death in
September in the town, an attack that investigators have blamed on
organized crime.
The death of "Mama Africa," as she was known, plunged South Africa
into shock and mourning.
"One of the greatest songstresses of our time has ceased to sing,"
Foreign Affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma said in a statement.
"Throughout her life, Mama Makeba communicated a positive message to
the world about the struggle of the people of South Africa and the
certainty of victory over the 'dark' forces of apartheid and
colonialism through the art of song."
Makeba wrote in her 1987 memoirs that friends and relatives who first
encouraged her to perform compared her voice to that of a nightingale.
With her distinctive style combining jazz with folk with South African
township rhythms, she was often called "The Empress of African Song."
The first African woman to win a Grammy award, Makeba started singing
in Sophiatown, a cosmopolitan neighborhood of Johannesburg that was a
cultural hotspot in the 1950s before its black residents were forcibly
removed by the apartheid government. She then teamed up with South
African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela later her first husband and
her rise to international prominence started when she starred in the
anti-apartheid documentary "Come Back, Africa" in 1959.
When she tried to fly home for her mother's funeral the following
year, she discovered her passport had been revoked. It was 30 years
before she was allowed to return.
In 1963, Makeba appeared before the U.N. Special Committee on
Apartheid to call for an international boycott of South Africa. The
South African government responded by banning her records, including
hits like "Pata Pata," "The Click Song" ("Qongqothwane" in Xhosa), and
"Malaika."
Makeba received the Grammy Award for Best Folk Recording in 1966
together with Belafonte for "An Evening With Belafonte/Makeba." The
album dealt with the political plight of black South Africans under
apartheid.
Thanks to her close relationship with Belafonte, she received star
status in the United States and performed for President Kennedy at his
birthday party in 1962. But she fell briefly
out of favor when she married black power activist Stokely Carmichael
later known as Kwame Ture and moved to Guinea in the late 1960s.
Besides working with Simone and Gillespie, she also appeared with Paul
Simon at his "Graceland" concert in Zimbabwe in 1987.
After three decades abroad, Makeba was invited back to South Africa by
Mandela, the anti-apartheid icon, shortly after his release from
prison in 1990 as white racist rule 'crumbled'.
"It was like a revival," she said about going home. "My music having
been banned for so long, that people still felt the same way about me
was too much for me. I just went home and I cried."
Makeba courted controversy by lending support to 'dictators' such as
Togo's Gnassingbe Eyadema and Felix Houphouet-Boigny from Ivory Coast,
performing at political campaigns for the veteran leaders even as they
were violently suppressing the movements for democracy that swept West
Africa in the early 90s.
The first person to give her refuge was Guinea's former President
Ahmed Sekou Toure who was accused in the slaughtering of 10 percent of
the population.
Makeba, though, insisted that her songs were not deliberately political.
"I'm not a political singer," she insisted in an interview with
Britain's Guardian newspaper earlier this year. "I don't know what the
word means. People think I consciously decided to tell the world what
was happening in South Africa. No! I was singing about my life, and in
South Africa we always sang about what was happening to us
especially the things that hurt us."
Makeba announced her retirement three years ago, but despite a series
of farewell concerts she never stopped performing. When she turned 75
last year, she said she would sing for as long as possible.
Makeba is survived by her grandchildren, Nelson Lumumba Lee and Zenzi
Monique Lee, and her great-grandchildren Lindelani, Ayanda and Kwame.
Associated Press Writer Frances D'Emilio in Rome contributed to this report.

6. amazing expereince

Hello Friends,
Recently I attended a Conference in Goa, India and it really changed
my thoughts about India. It was really a fantastic experience. The
weather in Goa was perfect, warm ocean waters and hospitality
unbelievable. Goa is a fusion of Indian and Portuguese culture, which
makes it a unique destination. Frankly speaking, I never thought
India would be so much fun as well as a rich cultural experience.
Our hosts as well as event planners did a great job. All the
delegates were surprised to get warm Goan traditional welcome and
excellent facilities at the resort, which was right on the beach!!!
Food was great and the ambience was relaxing. My only complaint was
that we had a very little time in Goa. Today, I feel that the western
world knows very little about Goa and India.
I also traveled to other cities of India as well like Delhi & Agra
(City of Taj Mahal , one of the seven wonders of the world). It was
one of the best experiences of my life. I strongly suggest India as a
perfect destination, if anyone wants to organize a conference or an
event. You may get in touch our event planners in India :

Good Luck & Happy Traveling

11. making your own drums...
Posted by: "Julia Countryman" [EMAIL PROTECTED] mountain_girl05
Date: Thu Nov 20, 2008 3:56 pm ((PST))
Hey everyone,
I'm hosting a drum event in December and have some sonotubes that I have been
wanting to get rid of... For those who are unfamiliar with what a sonotube is,
they're the 1/4 inch thick cardboard forms (like a giant toilet paper tube)
used to create concrete pillars. I thought I might make some drums out of them
(they're 24 inches across) and we can slice them to the desired thickness--they
would be great for a group of kids to beat on without worrying about damaging a
drum. Does anyone have any ideas or resources on a good cheap material to use
for the heads and how to attach them? Obviously, I'm going for the
experiential, not so much sound quality here...
