Zimbabwe Music and World Music Community Radio WFHB, Student Radio WIUX, and Spirit of ’68 Promotions have joined forces to raise funds for the Hoosier Hills Food Bank’s “25 for 25” campaign. The two radio stations are presenting world music at the Bluebird Nightclub on Saturday, April 26. Featured performers include NOMO, Sheasby Matiure’s Mutinhimira Marimba Ensemble and the Mbira Queens, and the Counts of Bounce DJ Crew. NOMO is a renowned 8-piece Afrobeat band from Detroit, seen in Bloomington previously at the 2006 Lotus Festival. Sheasby Matiure, known for his expertise in the traditional music of Zimbabwe, has been organizing and performing with his Mutinhimira Marimba Ensemble and the Mbira Queens during his Ph.D. studies in ethnomusicology at IU. These performances will be his last in Bloomington.
AFRICAN MUSIC/DANCE ENSEMBLE SCALI 2008 The Summer Cooperative African Language Institute for 2008 will again be held at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. The website is now active: http://scali.afrst.uiuc.edu Interested students should visit the website and submit an “expression of interest” for the language you want to study. This is very important because it helps SCALI organizers determine what languages will be offered, and at what levels. |
