Download or read book Beyond Memory written by Max Mojapelo and published by African Minds. This book was released on 2008 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Africa possesses one of the richest popular music traditions in the world - from marabi to mbaqanga, from boeremusiek to bubblegum, from kwela to kwaito. Yet the risk that future generations of South Africans will not know their musical roots is very real. Of all the recordings made here since the 1930s, thousands have been lost for ever, for the powers-that-be never deemed them worthy of preservation. And if one peruses the books that exist on South African popular music, one still fi nds that their authors have on occasion jumped to conclusions that were not as foregone as they had assumed. Yet the fault lies not with them, rather in the fact that there has been precious little documentation in South Africa of who played what, or who recorded what, with whom, and when. This is true of all music-making in this country, though it is most striking in the musics of the black communities. Beyond Memory: Recording the History, Moments and Memories of South African Music is an invaluable publication because it offers a first-hand account of the South African music scene of the past decades from the pen of a man, Max Thamagana Mojapelo, who was situated in the very thick of things, thanks to his job as a deejay at the South African Broadcasting Corporation. This book - astonishing for the breadth of its coverage - is based on his diaries, on interviews he conducted and on numerous other sources, and we find in it not only the well-known names of recent South African music but a countless host of others whose contribution must be recorded if we and future generations are to gain an accurate picture of South African music history of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Download or read book Tin Bucket Drum written by Neil Coppen and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a lyrical script and the creative use of lighting and sound, one woman, the Narrator, succeeds in evoking a host of characters as this allegorical tale of oppression and liberation plays itself out. On a 'cold and starless night' a young pregnant widow, Nandi, arrives in Tin Town, a bleak, drought-stricken place ruled by silence and fear. Little do the inhabitants know that Nandi is carrying the baby who will, in time, change that. Taken in by Umkhulu (grandfather), whose father established the tin bucket factory that gave the town its name, Nandi gives birth to Nomvula, the Little Drummer Girl. Umkhulu remembers a past when 'people were free to sing and dance', when the rain came and the townsfolk held up their tin buckets to catch the precious, life-giving drops. And then came the Silent Sir and his spokesman, the Censor, and the town went silent. As the singing and dancing and drumming dried up, so did the rain. The tin bucket factory closed, taking with it the life and purpose of Tin Town?s inhabitants. Only the Little Drummer Girl can bring back that life, but at enormous personal cost. In Tin Bucket Drum, Neil Coppen achieves a small miracle. Through his lyrical script and the creative use of lighting and sound, one woman, the Narrator, succeeds in evoking a host of characters as this allegorical tale of oppression and liberation plays itself out. It is a story that offers a host of lessons for many places and many times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Outside a South African town a silent woman, Ruth, goes through her self-imposed rituals, a child's crib strapped to her back. An observer, Simon, who has loved Ruth since childhood, tells her story." "Tshepang was inspired by the horrifying rape in 2001 of a nine month-old child. The child, Tshepang, gave her name to Lara Foot Newton's award-winning play, though it is also 'based on twenty thousand true stories' - the number of child rapes estimated to occur in South Africa each year." "Having premiered in Amsterdam in June 2003, Tshepang opened at the Gate Theatre, London, in September 2004."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: "A man and a woman enter a room. We see only a small bed, two chairs, and a table. Is it an asylum? A prison? Interrogation room? Questions are asked and answered. We feel we know the story. In this room, both the man and woman are faced with the truths of their lives. Playwright Ariel Dorfman puts before us the question of justice and forgiveness. Are there crimes for which there can be no forgiveness? If there is no forgiveness, how do we move on with our lives? Purgatorio reacquaints us with the tragedy of Jason and Medea."--Publisher's website.

Download or read book The Unknown Hero written by Jimmy Mojapelo and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unknown Hero is a tribute to all disabled people worldwide, written tongue-in-cheek by unsighted poet-composer-producer-comedian, Jimmy Mojapelo, with no holds barred. The book is a first in South African publishing circles, and a milestone in the annals of Black history. Mojapelo has assembled an exciting 'mixed bag' of literature with a mass appeal: a semi-autobiography about his switchboard operator days in Soweto; life at the Athlone School for the Blind and how students responded to bells, bells and more bells; the formation of the All Rounders music band and his own career in showbizness. Included are some of his lyrics popularized by 'Sotho Reggae' singer, Kori Moraba, like 'Tswang, tswang, tswang', etc, and several poems rounded off with the title of the book - a poignant and rivetting eulogy about 'Our Leader is Dead, Long Live Our Leader'. Who is this leader? Is it Kwame Nkrumah, Steve Biko, Mangaliso Sobukwe, Malcolm X, Dr Martin Luther King, Samora Machel, Ma-Ngoyi? Or ... In his own hilarious manner, Jimmy Mojapelo proves to society how human and ordinary the disabled are. And his own love for the people is not 'blind'.
