Dear WOMEXicans© Andreas SebayangBy Anna Pötzsch | Director of Media & CommunicationsDaniela Teuber | Director of ProductionAlexander Walter | Director of Music Programmingwww.jazz.dkWelcome to the 17 th edition of WOMEX – our third and final one for this visit toCopenhagen, Denmark. It’s been three exciting years in a capital which is renowned forits multitude of fashionable cyclists in particular, its devotion to design and eco care ingeneral, plus repeated appearances on Forbes’ lists for quality of life and much more.Our local partner for the past three years has been World Music Fair Copenhagen, anorganisation created by several key cultural players from Denmark to host WOMEXfrom 2009 to 2011: first and foremost Roskilde Festival, Copenhagen Jazz Festival andWonderful Copenhagen. The other principal members comprise the Danish Centerfor Culture and Development (CKU/DCCD), Global Copenhagen and World MusicDenmark in cooperation with Welcome Meeting Management.We would like to give special thanks to everyone from World Music Fair Copenhagen,from Bella Center/Forum Copenhagen and DR’s Koncerthuset, including all volunteers,for their broad-minded hospitality, extraordinary dedication and true professionalism.Working with you has been a real pleasure.F i r s t W o r dDear WomeXicansWOMEX in Copenhagen would not have been possible without funding from the mainsponsors: City of Copenhagen, the Capital Region of Denmark, and Kunstrådet, theDanish Arts Council – a big thank you for their generous support.Copenhagen Jazz FestivalJuly 6-15, 2012It has always been WOMEX’s concept to travel through Europe and guest in differentcities with varying local partners. That’s why we will leave behind the cosy Nordic campafter this event and hit the road again in search of new euphonious horizons.However, there is one constant factor in the life of WOMEX and that’s you, the delegates.You’ve been accompanying us for seventeen editions, in all directions – north, south, eastand west – in pursuit of a common concern: to sustain local culture and its music and tonourish plurality in our globalised world. Thank you for being part of this community,thank you for joining its gathering time and time again. Because networking is the key...Main contributor:21

Welcome to Copenhagen© Flemming LeitorpBy Frank Jensen | Lord Mayor of CopenhagenCopenhagen is a city of many colours. People come here from all over the world andbring their homeland’s art, music and traditions with them, sharing them with us both inour many concert halls and in the streets and squares of Copenhagen.Copenhageners appreciate this musical variety. We also appreciated being the capitalof world music for the past two years, and we look forward to host WOMEX for thecoming year, which will be the last. In 2012 it will be time for WOMEX to move on.It is my impression that, in the past two years, interest in world music has increased inCopenhagen. This is most certainly due to WOMEX taking place in our city. It hasbeen a great privilege to host this event, which has attracted many professional worldmusicians to our city. The professional and technical level has been outstanding andI believe that delegates, musicians and the international press have all had a positiveexperience in Copenhagen.F i r s t W o r dWelcomeCopenhagen Jazz Festival, Danish Center for Culture and Development,Global Copenhagen, Roskilde Festival, Wonderful Copenhagenand World Music Denmark say thank you for threeincredible years of WOMEX inCopenhagen.It is my hope that they will spread the word that Copenhagen is an open, unprejudicedand generous city, worth getting to know better.Supported by:Produced by:23

World Music Fair Copenhagen would like to thank the following for their generous support of WOMEX 11:Welcome to the 3 rd WOMEXin CopenhagenBy Anders Laursen | Chairman of WMF CphCopenhagen is back once again!!World Music Fair Copenhagen, the Copenhagen organisation behind the production of WOMEX 2009 – 2011,is a collaboration between:It is a true pleasure to welcome you – for the third time – to WOMEX in Copenhagen.2009 marked the beginning of a great collaboration with the crew in Berlin – creatingwhat so far has been called ‘the best WOMEX ever’. We’re proud to be able to contributewith all our production know-how, fantastic venues and, last but not least, our dedicatedstaff and wonderful volunteers, to make WOMEX in Copenhagen the success it is – andput Copenhagen well and truly on the world music map.The world brings its music to Copenhagen, with a whole palette of global soundsdedicated to curious ears. WOMEX 11 presents musicians from more than 50 differentnations, about as many different musical genres, and even more stories to be told.F i r s t W o r dWelcomeWe’re delighted to welcome all musicians to Copenhagen, most of them for the firsttime. WOMEX has given us the opportunity to invite all of Denmark, all year round,to embrace and enjoy music that doesn’t usually reach the mainstream and to bridgegenerations. With ‘Music from Around’ the crew of World Music Fair Copenhagen isspreading the word – and the music.It goes (almost) without saying that any cultural event of WOMEX’s scale still faceschallenges in the wake of the financial crisis that has hit not only Denmark but the entireglobe. We would therefore like to thank the City of Copenhagen and CopenhagenCapital Region for their invaluable support in helping us make the event possible overthe last two years and also in 2011.Welcome on board to all musicians, delegates and guests of WOMEX 11.Welcome to Copenhagen!25

On top of allthis Ági Szalóki confirms her status as one of the new starsin the firmament of great female vocalists with glimpses ofjust some of the styles at her command. Here are songs oflove and loss, aching melodies and rhythms to raise thepulse and set the feet tapping. Even a dance or two…o n lo c at i o nwomex OpeningPresented byHungarian Heartbeats is an exciting, wide-rangingconcert programme created especially for the WOMEX11 Opening. As well as featuring three Hungarian bandsexploring varied traditions, the show highlights a numberof versatile soloists brought together for this specialperformance.Hungarian folk music is a fine example of how complexcross-cultural currents have evolved historically to producemany distinctive yet related forms within a relativelysmall area. Bridging East and West, the most ancientelements are rooted in Asia, while some features ofWestern European music and dance have spread steadilysince the Middle Ages – the Renaissance left its mark and19 th century Romantic influences from Viennese parlourswere felt in even the smallest village.Folk music is an applied art in the narrowest sense asdemonstrated by the fact that its exponents have alwaysadapted it to their own needs and integrated their newmusical experiences into the old patterns. Since Bartókand Kodály, there has been a persistent urge to canonisefolklore, but it constantly manages to avoid such attempts.Peasant musicians played a variety of tunes to serve localrequirements, thus establishing connections betweenthose of different nationality, religion and social status. Notonly are some melodies shared by different communities,albeit with clear variations, in places such as the meltingpot of Transylvania certain borrowings have survivedsolely among those who adopted them while falling intodisuse elsewhere.In a wider context, Hungary has always been at thecrossroads and migrating peoples have brought theirown traditions to enrich the cultural fabric of the land.The multiplicity of musics, many of which have had along journey through both space and time, is a directresult of Hungary’s position at the heart of Europe. Morerecently, although location has become less relevant asinfluences from even further afield have arrived with theglobal spread of popular culture, a strong sense of placepersists, even for forward-looking artists formulating newstatements.The first popular folk revival in Hungary was associatedwith the ‘Táncház (dance house) Movement’ that beganin the 1970s, the success of which brought the realisationthat village music and dance culture could provide arelevant cultural experience for younger generations.The enduring success of dance houses throughout thecountry ensures a ‘living tradition’ that fosters links to avariety of different cultures.Hungarian Heartbeats aims to celebrate some of themusical and cultural diversity that continues to flourish inBudapest and other cities, towns and villages. Taking centrestage will be the cimbalom, two in fact, as the Balogh-Lukács Cimbalom Duo introduce some Roma melodiesfrom their repertoire as well as their own contemporarycompositions. The cimbalom also plays its characteristicrole supporting the twin fiddles of Hungarian folk bandTükrös. As a contrast to the hypnotic bowed dancerhythms, Söndörgő play the tambura band music of theSouthern Slavs and, in company with the powerful vocalsof Kátya Tompos, demonstrate their proficiency withThere is undoubtedly a current renaissance of folk androots music throughout Europe and beyond. As part ofour contribution to this trend, we would like to introducesome of the most original, bold and inspired innovatorsbranching off of the traditional forms of Hungarian folk.This evocative music carries great emotional depth andproves that old roots will always put forth new shoots.Are you ready to let your heart beat in tune with thebeauty of Hungarian music?The WOMEX 11 Opening Concert – Hungarian Heartbeats– is brought to you by Hangvető, in cooperation with thePalace of Arts, Budapest.www.hangveto.hu | www.mupa.huDirector Dusan HégliConcept Endre LiberProducer András LelkesText Phil SaltmarshProduction HangvetőAfter the concert, Emil Biljarszki, aka DJ Second Face, takesa stint mixing traditional Hungarian sounds with some ofthe latest releases from Budapest’s underground scene.› Conference/Speed-Dating: Eastern Europe› Conference/Networking Meetings & Presentations:Hungarian Heartbeats: The Roots of Hungarian Music+ Eastern European Networking Meeting© Andras HajduÁgi Szalóki (Hungary)Contact: HangvetőLabel: FolkEurópaWednesday 20:00 Studio 1Ági Szalóki is one of the most talented representativesof the new generation of Hungarian folk singers thatemerged at the end of the 1990s.

The emblematicfigure of South African music has indeed become anelder statesman, revered and respected for his fightagainst the iniquities of apartheid and his tirelesschampioning of his country’s rich and diverse culturalheritage. But, as his commitment, energy and constantquest to refine his musical language show, he is also stillthe young lion who pioneered new directions in SouthAfrican jazz in the late’50s.As a young boy he soaked up a wide variety of soundsfrom his environment – the streets, the churches,the playground and the family gramophone – andshowed talent on piano and singing. As legend nowhas it, the chance catalyst that really set him on hispath was the unlikely alliance of the chaplain of hishigh school, the anti-apartheid campaigner TrevorHuddleston, and Hollywood film star Kirk Douglas.The 14-year old Masekela saw Douglas starring inYoung Man With a Horn – a film biopic loosely basedon the jazz trumpeter Bix Beiderbecke, with the puretones of Harry James dubbing the soundtrack – andwas smitten enough to persuade Huddleston to givehim a trumpet. By the end of the decade, his bandThe Jazz Epistles was playing to packed houses inJohannesburg and Cape Town.In 1960, the absurd conceit of apartheid and theincreasingly brutal oppression required to keep it inplace, spawned the massacre at Sharpeville where 69protesters were shot dead by police. A clampdownfollowed, the minority intensified their subjugation ofthe majority. Gatherings of more than 10 people wereprohibited. By good fortune, Masekela was helpedout of the country by Huddleston, whose friendsYehudi Menuhin and John Dankworth arranged forhim to be brought to study at the Guildhall Schoolof Music in London. It was to prove a short sojourn,as he soon received a summons he could not refuse.Miriam Makeba, already an artist-in-exile since 1959,urged him to join her in the USA, where she andHarry Belafonte would organise a place for him at theManhattan School of Music. He arrived in New Yorkat the height of the Nixon-Kennedy presidential raceand was impressed by the vitality of political debate,although it should be remembered that, at the time,racial discrimination was also enmeshed in the socialfabric of American society and that the major strugglesof the civil rights movement were yet to materialise.The Manhattan School of Music provided him witha classical education in trumpet, composition andchoral singing, and New York provided him with anentrée into the heart of a golden age of jazz. Makebaintroduced him to one of his idols, Dizzy Gillespie, whoo n lo c at i o nWomeX Artist aWardfolquebec.com43

o n lo c at i o nintroduced him to the royalty of the contemporary jazzscene. Masekela entertained the possibility of joiningArt Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, but Miles Davis advisedhim to forget bebop, form his own band, and bring hisAfrican roots to the table. In-between recordings withBelafonte and Makeba, he made Trumpet Africaine,the first of nearly 50 albums to date, a body of workthat journeys through jazz, pop, funk, afrobeat, reggae,fusion and more, yet always retains the immediatelyrecognisable Masekela signature. And that’s becausehe has never lost sight of where he’s coming from. Thesounds of the townships: jive, church choirs, children’sgames, gumboot dances, work-songs, marabi, kwelaand the mighty mbaqanga; all these expressions of thegreat multi-layered cultural tapestry of South Africaprovide the spiritual foundations of his art and haveremained a constant motif within the music. The titleof his third album, The Americanization of Ooga Booga,recorded live in New York in 1965, serves as a tonguein-cheekstatement of his intent to bring those rootsto the world, and within a few years he did just that,making an intense, groundbreaking appearance at the1967 Monterey Pop Festival and, a year later, sittingat the top of the US charts with the perennial classic‘Grazing in the Grass’.The ‘70s saw the beginning of a long journey home,moving to Guinea, Liberia and Ghana, meeting FelaKuti, who introduced him to the legendary GhanaianAfro-funk band Hedzoleh Soundz, sparking aninspirational collaboration, captured on the albumIntroducing Hedzoleh Soundz. In 1981, he moved toBotswana and founded a music school and a mobilerecording studio, which produced the global disco hit,‘Don’t Go Lose it, Baby’. But dark forces were still atwork in South Africa and in 1985, they reached outacross the border, when a South African Defence Forcedeath squad murdered his friend George Phahle and15 others. Masekela fled to London. There he recorded‘Bring Him Back Home’, a rousing, anthemic demandfor Nelson Mandela’s freedom, and set off on PaulSimon’s Graceland tour alongside Miriam Makeba andLadysmith Black Mambazo, taking this message tomillions around the world.The inevitable collapse of the apartheid regime camewith Mandela’s release in 1990 and Masekela finallyreturned home. Although, as a cultural spokesmanand musical ambassador, his part in the struggle forfreedom has been considerable, he modestly deferspraise. As he has said: “The heroes of South Africaare the people who faced the guns and the tanks andsacrificed their lives for us to be free today. I think thoseare the people that should be praised, we don’t heartoo much of them”. But it’s through culture that wecan perceive the abstract truths of our humanity, andHugh Masekela’s art is permeated with the spirit of thestruggle. Today, at 72 years young, Hugh Masekela ismore productive than ever. He’s still touring, recording,collaborating and educating. He is concerned withwhat he calls heritage restoration: the continuingnecessity of changing the mindset inculcated in hispeople by religion and oppression over centuries thattheir deep cultural heritage is primitive and pagan. So,the struggle continues, and we can hope that HughMasekela will continue to play his considerable part insounding out his messages of peace, pride and progress,for many years to come.© 2011 Colin BassMAAPSA – Musicians & Artists AssistanceProgramme of South AfricaAlong with his WOMEX Artist Award, HughMasekela will be given money to put into a project ofhis own choice.Masekela says, “The one thing that I think all musicianswho have recovered from addiction of any kind havefound, is that support from people who understand thespecific challenges of addiction in the entertainmentindustry was crucial in helping them emerge intosobriety. Alcohol and drug dependence are destroyingour great nation.”Now in its 13 th year, MAAPSA continues to grow fromstrength to strength and is now looking to partnersimilar international organisations.For more information on Hugh Masekela:www.griot.de/hughmasekela.htmlJoin us on Sunday for a final Networking Breakfast andthe WOMEX 11 Award presentation.

The WOMEX 11 Professional Excellence Awardto Francis FalcetoBy Joe Boyd (USA/UK) | Writer, ProducerWOMEX Award CeremonySunday 12:00 – 14:00Koncerthuset/Studio 2The recipient of the WOMEX 11 ProfessionalExcellence Award for this year is Francis Falceto,originator and curator of the Éthiopiques series of CDsand the music of Ethiopia’s greatest champion.Falceto has single-handedly brought Ethiopianmusic to the forefront of world music consciousness.In addition to the CD series that now numbers 27volumes, he has organised concerts, tours, and anannual festival in Addis Ababa, published the bookAbyssinie Swing, created a documentary film of thesame name and brought Western musicians intriguedby the music to Ethiopia.In April 1984, Falceto was attending a regular listeningsession in Poitiers for lovers of jazz and experimentalmusic. A friend returning from Africa, placed aMahmoud Ahmed LP on the turntable and Francis’ lifechanged forever. Within a year, he was in Addis Ababatracking down Ali Tango, the producer credited on theLP he had heard in France.Ethiopia in 1985 was under the control of the Derg,the military dictatorship that ousted Emperor HaileSelassie; their 10pm curfew had put an end to night lifein the capital and they were suspicious of singers, oftenrefusing to grant them exit visas. Francis befriendedTango, who had been instrumental in recording the‘Golden Age’ of Ethiopian music in the late ‘60sand ‘70s. Falceto spent an evening at Tango’s home,listening to records by dozens of Ethiopian artists; thebreadth and depth of Ethiopian musical culture swungopen before him.Soon he was back, arranging for Mahmoud Ahmedto appear at the Avignon Festival. He also securedthe precious tapes of Ere Mela Mela, and took themto Marc Hollander of Crammed Discs who, withcharacteristic astuteness, partnered him in this initialforay into the market. Francis had the idea to put a stillphotograph of a formica table inside a provincial baron the cover. Mahmoud was confused, but Falceto toldhim not to worry. In fact, it was perfect, the rich greensof the painted walls mysteriously beckoning a curiouspublic to the rich treats within. The world’s discoveryof Ethiopian music had begun.It took a few years for the outside world and Ethiopiato figure out how to communicate with each other. Theoverthrow of the Derg in 1987 made travel in botho n lo c at i o nWomeX ProfeSSional eXcellence aWard47

o n lo c at i o nWomeX ProfeSSional eXcellence aWarddirections easier and in Addis Ababa, nightlife slowlyreturned. Ethiopian singers needed persuading that anaudience with no understanding of the language – andparticularly of the layers of lyrical subtlety and doublemeaningsknown as ‘wax and gold’ – could appreciatetheir songs. Western audiences needed to get theirheads around the pentatonic scales and the unfamiliartime signatures; the strong influence of American jazzand r&b are immediately apparent to the listener,but a key to its eventual triumph has been the verystrangeness that made it hard for many to get to know.By 1992, when his partnership with Buda Recordsfor the Éthiopiques series began, Francis had trackeddown master tapes from the most important labelsand producers of the Golden Age. The huge impactof the series is well known. Jim Jarmusch is obviouslya fan, having started Mulatu Astatke on the path to hisinternational career by using a track from his ÉthiopiquesCD for the title music of Broken Flowers. Patti Smith,Elvis Costello and Tom Waits have all gone on recordwith their adoration of the CDs. But it perhaps lessappreciated how Francis’ attention to detail, fromprogramming to design, to notes, to mastering – havedefined this body of work that has become virtuallythe sole representation of an essential musical cultureto critics, presenters and an ever growing legion of fans.The packaging, for example, is a case study in hipauthenticity. The visual image of the series evokes boththe historical roots in American r&b and Ethiopiantraditions, maximising the impact of the curvaceousAmharic alphabet. Francis is loyal to his team: thegraphics are always by Jack Garnier, who made postersfor Francis’ Carla Bley concerts in the ‘80s. The bilingualnotes are copious, informative and hugelyentertaining. Francis, with the help of translator KarenAlbrecht, is a very witty writer in both French andEnglish.If Falceto’s work was limited to the curation of thisbrilliant series of discs, that alone would be a claimto fame and to our respect. But, much as he adoresthe legacy of those Golden Years, it is the living musicthat is most important to him. The restoration of a livemusic scene in Ethiopia after 1987 has proved a mixedblessing. Yes, there are many weddings every weekand the traditional troubadors, the azmaris, are onceagain improvising verses about visitors in the azmaribets, the city-dwelling Ethiopian’s favourite places ofentertainment. But difficult economic conditions andthe lure of modernity means that most ‘bands’ nowconsist of a singer and a man with a keyboard/drummachine. The brilliant orchestras we hear on thoseGolden Era recordings have evaporated and few youngmusicians have emerged to take their place.Francis’ work in building a road out of this culturaldead-end street is perhaps his most importantaccomplishment. Aware of the impact Éthiopiques washaving on musicians in Europe and North America, hehas worked tirelessly to bring groups such as the Either/Orchestra, Le Tigre des Platanes, X, and the ImperialTiger Orchestra to Addis to take part in festivals andto work with local singers and musicians. Ethiopiansare astonished at the fluency of these foreigners inperforming their complex music. A young generationhas been provoked into rediscovering their ownheritage by the visitors Francis has brought. Anyonewho has heard the collaborations between Etenesh andLe Tigre, or enjoyed a concert by the Either/Orchestrabacking Mahmoud Ahmed will have heard the fruits ofbrilliant, original work by today’s honouree.The business of world music runs not on the fuelof financial ambition but on the fumes of musicalpassion. Francis Falceto has set a new standard foraficionados: he has chosen for us with impeccable taste,he has packaged and presented the music in a waythat stimulates the market, he has followed throughwith concerts that inspire both within Ethiopia andwithout. He has provided us with textbook example ofthe perfect pursuit of a passion.© 2011 Joe BoydFor more information on Francis Falceto’s work:www.budamusique.comJoin us on Sunday for a final Networking Breakfast andthe WOMEX 11 Award presentation.

The World According to JaZZn e t w o r k© Joachým EttelJazz was the first world music, opined the renownedmusic promoter, Fritz Rau. Although the statementby the organiser of the seminal American FolkBlues Festivals (from 1962 to 1985) and founder ofthe German Jazz Federation may seem somewhatexorbitant, in a certain sense, he is right: jazz isidentified with and understood worldwide. It inspirespeople around the globe to incorporate it into theirown musical language, for jazz entices all to bringthemselves into it once they’ve been touched by thespirits of swing, groove and blue notes. The Americantrombonist George Lewis affirmed: “African-Americanmusic, like any music, can be performed, composed orconceived by a person of any ‘race’ without losing itscharacter as historically Afrological”.There’s no corner of this planet where people do notmusically improvise, experiment with rhythm andcreate songs. And jazz, after all, traces its origins tothe southern United States of the early 20 th century,with New Orleans as its centre, stemming directlyfrom the mixing of different cultural traditions of thepredominantly African-American population.Over its first five decades, jazz identified itself throughthe character of its main ingredients – spirituals, gospel,work songs, blues and ragtime – as a ‘social music’,a music that sought to communicate with its publicand initiate the interaction of body and spirit throughdance. In his book The Blues as Dance Music (1996), theculture and jazz historian Albert Murray ascribes dancea central role as a basis of Afro-American culture:“Dance not only antedates music, but is also probablythe most specific source of music and most of the artforms as well.” Dance music, according to Murray in histestimony to blues and jazz, has been underestimatedby critics and actually is of greater significance thanThe World According to JazzBy Joachým Ettel (Germany) | Freelance Journalist, Photographerconcert music. In the eyes of European jazz critics, forexample, blues has been downgraded over the last fewdecades to the status of a primitive forerunner of jazz.Afro-American musicians point out however, that the‘12-bar’ retains a perpetual claim as the eternal basis ofjazz. It was also jazz critics who formulated the imageof a progressive linear sequence of styles, a kind of jazzmusic evolution. But by the time it has completed itsdevelopment – from old time New Orleans throughDixieland, swing, hot jazz, bebop, West Coast cooljazz, East Coast hard bop, free, fusion and rock jazz,to modern and post-modern jazz – this Darwiniandesign becomes obsolete and history. For around 1970,the diversity of styles, and conflicting views of whetherthey can be called jazz or not, grew considerably. Thenarose the question: which of these new developmentscould be seen as trendsetting? From then on, therecould be no agreed recognition of a stylistic ‘follow-up’.As improvised music, jazz was always able to pick upinfluences from other cultural values. In this context,musicians from other ethnic traditions had theopportunity to express themselves without having tocompletely forego any input from their own culturalbackground, as was the case with other genres. In the1950s, jazz musicians began to make consolidatedefforts to deal with non-Western cultures. Projectsemerged in which musicians traced their African rootsas well as those that revealed Brazilian influences. Jazz,especially European jazz, was still dominated by theculture wars of the time. Rhythm and blues – malignedby the conservative jazz police as ‘jungle music’ – waspopular as never before, emerging from its bases inMemphis, Chicago, Dallas and New York as a separategenre, split off from jazz. The aesthetics and perceptionof jazz began to change. The music journalist HaraldJustin spoke of the beginning of an “expulsion ofrhythm and dance from jazz... And as the body and itsenergies could no longer find expression there, it foundits outlet in rhythm and blues and later, in rock”.In the ‘60s, the interest of many musicians in newspiritual experiences led to a strong interest in Indianand Asiatic music. In the jazz scene, it was above allJohn and Alice Coltrane who raised their soundsto hymn-like heights. Meanwhile European jazzemancipated itself more and more from its Americanrole models to develop art music qualities. A countermovement produced a backlash in the form of free jazz,providing a soundtrack for the social unrest of the endof the decade. Worldwide, musicians intensified therediscovery of their own traditions, using material fromtheir own folk music heritage and utilising regionalspecific instruments and blending the Afro-Americanjazz language with harmonic, melodic and rhythmicelements of their own culture.It was also in the ‘60s that the concept of ‘world music’came into being. It stood for a putative openness in theaesthetic sense and, in the time of the student rebellion,counted as part of the counter movement againstcultural imperialism. Although traditional musiciansdidn’t define their music as ‘art music’ in the Westernsense, they used the opportunity to present themselvesto a Western audience. Prominent examples from thistime were Ravi Shankar, Miriam Makeba and the newstars of Música Popular Brasileira. The German musicjournalist and producer, Joachim Ernst Behrendt,presented the record and concert series Jazz Meets theWorld, laying the foundation stone for the incipientworld music and ethno jazz wave, not only in Germany.Under his artistic direction the 1967 JazzFest Berlinbecame the first world music festival, intentionallyinitiating fruitful collaborations between jazz andtraditional musicians. For example, the pianist andlater director of the festival, George Gruntz, playedtogether with Jean Luc Ponty and Daniel Humairin combination with Bedouin musicians from theMahgreb, under the banner Noon in Tunisia.In the ‘70s, the initial idea of a meeting of cultureschanged into a fusion concept in which musiciansavailed themselves of all possible traditional influencesthat seemed interesting for their concept, to promotethe expansion of conventional modes of expression.New sounds should be developed, new formalstructures established. The result was an eclectic varietyof styles in which genre boundaries fell away. Next toclassical composition techniques, there appeared moreand more Indian rhythms, Arabic melisma and otherfolkloric traditions. An outstanding example of thisbeing the 1976 concept album, The Story of I, by PatrickMoraz, which put a whole conglomeration of clearlyidentifiable influences together from South Americanrhythms to progressive rock and neo-classical elementsinterwoven with jazz and pop.The ‘80s and ‘90s brought the final breakthrough,with the first ‘pure’ world music labels with worldwidedistribution, such as Peter Gabriel’s Real World, DavidByrne’s Luaka Bop and Nick Gold’s World Circuit.But to understand the increasingly close connectionsbetween jazz and world music and also the growingpresentation of important world music artists underthe umbrella of jazz, one must take another look atthe developments within jazz. The transition to bebopsignified the abandonment of social music to art music,with considerable consequences. The American essayistand culture critic, Michael Ventura, wrote in his bookShadow Dancing in the USA: “To play for dancing wasto focus on the listener. In this new jazz, for the firsttime, the focus was on the musician. Ideally the listenerlistened intently enough to join the improviser’s trance.That was understood as the listener’s job, the listener’sact of creation. That made possible a depth of thought– thought expressed musically but thought nonetheless– fully the equal of European musical thought, butwith the intensity, the rhythm and the constellationof meanings that had come out of Africa… Butthese musicians paid a price for the tremendousconcentration they achieved. They had largely left thedance behind. And leaving the dance behind, they’dleft the dancers. Not the dancing artists, who spent alltheir energy on their dances, but the rest of us, who,both knowingly and unconsciously, were still yearningfor the dance to take us up and return our bodies to ourhungering spirits. So it is no coincidence that the veryn e t w o r k The World According to JaZZ8283

same years – the mid-forties – that modern, mental jazzfirst got recorded, were the years that rhythm and bluesmade its appearance”.The exclusion of dance and the body runs through largeparts of Western cultural aesthetic. Dance and ecstasydon’t fit into classical music, though some composers,particularly 20 th century trance exponents, have castalmost danceable pieces into notes, such as La MonteYoung, Steve Reich or Terry Riley and some composersof the New York school, like Morton Feldman.A way out of the sober, stagnating state of jazz has,over the last two decades, announced itself as a countertendency to globalisation: a regional world jazz witha distinctive local identity, incorporating traditionalsong forms and instruments. There are many examples:trumpeter Paolo Fresu reconstitutes the banda sounds ofthe village orchestras of his southern Italian homeland;the American guitarist Bill Frisell is inspired by songsof the settlers’ days to develop a beguiling Americanasound. Or we think of the wonderful threads of SouthAfrican melodies in the playing of pianist AbdullahIbrahim or the fado resonances in the rousing singingof Maria João. However, the problem has also to beregistered that the critics of danceable forms of jazzhave dismissed them as simply-knit musical forms –as ‘primitive art’, if one may use a term from the ‘50s.But the predominantly young audience which wantsto be addressed emotionally and animatedly, has hadto develop accordingly heterogeneous listening habits.While they may be inspired by bands in the jazz genresuch as the Esbjörn Svensson Trio or the TingvallTrio, they also listen to soul and funk jazz, infectious,danceable Balkan sounds or the rebellious mestizosounds from Latin America or Barcelona, the Europeanheadquarters of the scene.Today, several factors promote the liaison betweenjazz and world music: for musicians interested intraditional cultures, jazz presents itself – by virtue ofits history and vital, worldwide networked scene – asan incredible reservoir of musical possibilities. In thepast, new laboratories of sound varieties in connectionwith influential artists have continuously manifestedthemselves. One has only to think of Don Cherryand Ornette Coleman, whose Creative Music Studio(CMP) has served as a multicultural melting pot sincethe early ‘70s. One thinks of artists like the Norwegiansaxophonist Jan Garbarek or the oud player RabihAboul-Khalil and Anouar Brahem, who have developeda characteristic, roots-related sound language, as well astheir peers on labels from ECM to Enja.At this time, the changes in the production, processingand reception of music have not led only to the muchbemoanedeconomical consequences for labels andartists. No, here are also opportunities and developmentpossibilities. Music that was once only available tocollectors and scholars, is suddenly just a mouseclick away, providing an almost unlimited source ofinspiration and which, in this form, can be easily usedto create inventive sound landscapes. Whether fromfield recordings made by anthropological institutes oflong extinct peoples (on labels like Ocora, Le Chantdu Monde, Smithsonian Institute) or live concertrecordings or unsigned home recordings published asweb-streams, the multiplicity is practically boundless.So the undreamed-of access to diverse music stylesthrough technological development illustrates thegreat diversity of global sounds and will logically lead tothe development of yet other niches. Then presumably,the next round of jazz and world music will be usheredin, for even today the location of origin of some ethnicmusic – removed from the traditional context of itscreation – can hardly be definitively identified.We can only wonder what the future will bring.Perhaps both artists and users will feel drawn to avirtual homeland or find a purely net-based musicians’collective. One thing is sure: everything is possible aslong as there remains an intensive communicationbetween musicians and the audience.© 2011 Joachým Ettel (Translation: Colin Bass)› Conference/Session 11› Conference/Networking Meetings & Presentations› Conference/Bios A – Z: Etteln e t w o r k The World According to JaZZ85

Who‘s Playing Whom?n e t w o r k© Kim Jacobs“Political leaders have long understood the power thatcomes from attraction. If I can get you to want to dowhat I want, then I do not have to use carrots or sticksto make you do it... The ability to establish preferencestends to be associated with intangible assets suchas an attractive personality, culture, political valuesand institutions...” 1 Joseph Nye, Kennedy School ofGovernment, Harvard University“Cultural diplomacy is the linchpin of public diplomacy;for it is in cultural activities that a nation’s ideaof itself is best represented. And cultural diplomacy canenhance our national security in subtle, wide-ranging,and sustainable ways. Indeed history may record thatAmerica’s cultural riches played no less a role thanmilitary action in shaping our international leadership,including the war on terror. For the values embedded inour artistic and intellectual traditions form a bulwarkagainst the forces of darkness.” 2 Advisory Committeeon Cultural Diplomacy, US State Dept.“The usual position of governments to culture is as to acharity – something they are compelled to throw smallamounts of money at so they don’t get shouted at.”Simon Anholt, International Policy AdvisorGovernments love us world music artists, and rightlyso. What’s not to like? Wholesome, positive and asreliable as the family dog: when you’re feeling a bitdepressed, and there are clouds gathering over yourneighbourhood, world music can be relied on to makeeveryone feel good, both about themselves and aboutyou too. We don’t tend to be loud or aggressive; half ofwhat we do is instrumental and looks as pretty as ournational dress; and as for the other half, the songs aremostly about waiting for a lover in a barn or a group ofWho’s Playing Whom?Cultural Diplomacy and World MusicBy Lemez Lovas (UK) | Producer, Lyricist, Artistfriends coming together as one, and anyway most of thepeople we play to can’t understand the lyrics anyway. 3We don’t make too much money or promote obscenevalues, and as long as we sound different enough fromour neighbours and don’t mind waving the flag, ourpolitical leaders – regional or national – will be happyto adopt our music and send us abroad to spread themessage of what it is that our great corner of the globestands for. For a brief moment, whatever else ourhonoured representatives might have done that peoplemight not like will be forgotten, and other nations willrespect ours for its creativity, humanity and diversecultural traditions.We could be forgiven for pinching ourselves. The musicbusiness claims to be in a crisis, and those who aren’tin crisis are keeping quiet to save money. It’s gettingmore and more difficult for world music artists to getsigned, distributed and launch an international careerfor themselves, and even if you get lucky, tough visaprocedures and lower fees are making it harder thanever to tour an average-sized band. So the current loveaffair between regional and national government andworld music artists has, one might argue, come at a veryuseful time indeed. World music is now a key plank in– whisper it – ‘cultural diplomacy’.“I prefer the term ‘cultural relations’,” says policy advisorSimon Anholt, “‘cultural diplomacy’ sounds very elitistto me, as if you are doing something weaselly amid highlevel negotiations to persuade other elites your cultureis worth paying attention to. What you try to do is toget people in other countries to know about and to likeyour culture – whatever culture means.”British Council Music Director Cathy Graham agrees:“We are in the business of creating a dialogue. Differentgovernments have different reasons for doing culturalrelations work – most governments understand thevalue of people to people rather than government togovernment engagement, and direct contact with thepositive bits of each other’s culture can do a lot ofgood.”This year’s storm over the Wikileaks cables meansthat 2011 hasn’t been a great year for the image ofdiplomacy, but semantics aside, cultural diplomacyseems to be on the up. The concept of attraction asbeing a more effective form of international relationsthan coercion may have been around for centuries, butit has taken until last year for it to become a centralpart of UK foreign policy. Put plainly, in an age ofsevere budget cuts and messy international militarycampaigns, the ‘soft power’ arsenal of culture, values,policies and institutions is both more palatable at homeand abroad, and a lot cheaper too. The era of ‘heartsand minds’ in international relations has well and trulyarrived – and music is a crucial tool in the diplomatichandyman’s toolbox.“There is a dumb, old approach,” continues Anholt,“which is basically culture promotion, putting a lot oftaxpayer’s money into sending out art exhibitions andtouring orchestras and forcing people in other countriesto swallow your culture. There is also an intelligent,modern approach, such as the one taken by the BritishCouncil among others, based on mutuality. Ratherthan trying to project a stream of culture, it’s aboutdoing culture together with people in other countries,so that they are enriched by us and we by them.”Top American jazzmen featured heavily in US diplomacyat the height of the Cold War – Benny Goodman’stour to Russia in 1962 and Louis Armstrong and DukeEllington going to Africa in the fifties and sixties, atradition continued by artists like Wynton Marsalis inmore recent times. Classical music has an illustriousdiplomatic history too, from Italian Jesuit MatteoRicci’s present of a clavichord to Ming Emperor WanLi in 1607, to the New York Philharmonic’s trip toPyongyang in 2008. In world music, however, theAmerican outreach flag these days is being flown by LosAngeles multi-ethnic rock/hip-hop band Ozomatli.The band might seem like an unusual choice fordiplomatic envoys – they met at the city’s Peace andJustice Center, first performing for picketers at a strike,and were approached by the US State Departmentduring the Presidency of George W. Bush. The need tocombat the swift rise in anti-Americanism at the timefound a perfect partner in a band who may not haveagreed with US policies, but who projected values thatshowed a positive, alternative side of American culture.However, it wasn’t an easy courtship for either party.“The US Embassy in India, which is our third largest,was asked by someone at the State Department to lookat bringing us out,” says band manager Amy Blackman.“It took them a couple years to convince the embassy– they had a lot of concerns about the band’s politicalmessage, as we were very outspoken about the Bushadministration and the Iraq war, and they thought wewere too rebellious for this kind of interface. When wefinally got the call from India, it took me months toconvince the band. They were like ‘no way, we hate thegovernment and we won’t dialogue with them.’ I justkept on and on at them, and since then we’ve been sentall over the world.” Local embassy officials abroad were,the band discovered, not so different in outlook tothem, and now the mutually beneficial relationship hasevolved to such an extent that the only places the bandwouldn’t go to are those where “security is an issue.”Herein lies one potential issue with artists taking on thebadge of foreign diplomats: Ozomatli were approachednot for their music alone, but because it came packagedwith a story of cultural fusion, tolerance and diversitythat was right for a country with a serious imageproblem. “What happened during the 2 nd Iraq war,“says Colin Hicks, “was that George Bush forgot thecentral tenet of diplomacy – the reputation of yourcountry is your major asset.” Hicks is a cultural brokerwho spent 18 years as the Cultural Attache for theQuebec Government Office in London. One problemof cultural diplomacy he sees is that what governmentswant out of musicians and what constitutes the bestavailable art is not necessarily the same thing.n e t w o r k Who‘s Playing Whom?8687

Brendan Quinlivan is aSenior Policy Advisor at the New Zealand CulturalDiplomacy International Programme, whose statedaim is to ‘maintain a New Zealand cultural presencein key overseas regions or countries in order to boostNew Zealand’s profile and economic, trade, tourism,diplomatic and cultural interests.’“As a geographically isolated country,” he says, “culturaldiplomacy is seen as increasingly important in doingbusiness, and there is broad recognition of the value ofcultural diplomacy by New Zealanders.”If Quinlivan is right, New Zealanders are a savvybunch. There are too many countries on the planet –between 192 and 225 according to various criteria, themajority with under 10 million inhabitants – for mostof us to have any impression of them at all, and for asmall country without a damaged reputation to fix,culture is the easiest way to put a positive mark on anotherwise blank page.“It’s almost an a priori requirement,” says SimonAnholt, “that if a country wants to have the esteemand admiration of people around the world, then itneeds them to know something of its culture. Peopleare unable to admire countries whose culture theydon’t know or respect. For example, Latvia: researchshows that the majority perception is that as an ex-Communist country, it has no culture at all, whereasLatvia has more folksongs than people. It follows thatpeople would have no interest in anything that happensthere as we seem to equate cultural richness with qualityand self respect.”For smaller countries vying for cultural space in ourovercrowded heads, the argument for culture in itselfcan be a tough one, whereas for linguistically dominantpowers, spending on outreach is easier to justify inpurely economic terms: by investing in music exchangesnow, you help to develop markets that in the future yourdomestic music industries can exploit by themselves.We all have something to sell – be it tea towels or tradedeals – and showing what visible economic benefit webring to the table is a more important part of the debatethan ever.“Culture is most foreign to governments,” continuesAnholt. “These days most officials understand businessas they tend to have experience in this sector – butnever in culture. It’s almost as if it is a completelyseparate universe. Frequently ministers and even PrimeMinisters don’t understand what a money earner it canbe, how it supports direct investment. I often have tolecture ministers about it in these terms, as it’s the onlylanguage they understand.”So, dear WOMEX-goer, your country or region has afantastic music culture that hardly anyone knows about– your band might even be part of it – and a reputationthat, frankly, just isn’t fair, or maybe isn’t there at all.However, before you go banging on the minister’s doorto throw some money into next year’s opening nightcountry showcase, think about strategy.“I’m quite critical of showcases,” says Colin Hicks.“There is a tendency to throw money at them: they area tool but they have to happen in context. You needwhat I call gateway producers or promoters – who itis in the culture you are targeting that will open doors.I think that it takes four years in real terms to build alevel of trust, not only in quality but in consistencyof quality, to the point where they will take a risk. Ifyou have ten of these gateway producers then you haveopened up a huge network, as these ten know anotherhundred who will see that they took a risk, so they willtoo. That is how you break a market.”The music and diplomacy love affair looks set to grow.Bands love it because they don’t sell enough to get tothose far-off locations by themselves, and governmentslove it because it’s a lot better than going to drearymeetings, and if they’re lucky, they might just get a tradedeal out of it. However, a couple of niggling questionsremain – many artists would be uncomfortable flyingthe flag for a corporation, brand or organisation whosepolitics they don’t feel completely at home with. Sowhy are countries different? And if we, as world musicartists, fit our government’s agenda of what kind ofimage they’d like to project, shouldn’t we be – well –just a little bit worried? To what extent should art andgovernment be in bed with each other at all?George Bernard Shaw was once seated beside anattractive woman at a dinner party. “Madam,” heasked, “would you go to bed with me for a thousandpounds?” The woman blushed and angrily shook herhead. “For ten thousand pounds?” he asked. “No.I would not.” “Then how about fifty thousand pounds?”he continued. The huge sum made the woman hesitate,and after further reflection, she coyly replied: “Perhaps.”“And if I were to offer you five pounds?” Shaw asked.“Mr. Shaw!” the woman exclaimed. “What do you takeme for?!” “We have already established what you are,”Shaw calmly replied. “Now we are merely haggling overthe price.”1Nye, Joseph: Soft Power and Leadership.

It’s a growing practice,especially to support cultural and music projects. Thiskind of micro-financing can be considered an exampleof the new forms of participation to cultural productionafforded by digital media, which are the focus of anongoing academic debate. After a brief reference to thisdebate, I will present some results from a research onwebsites specialised in music crowdfunding, comprisinginterviews with musicians and backers using suchservices, in order to illustrate different crowdfundingmodels, to point out the technological and discursivecontexts in which interactions between applicants andbackers take place and to examine the actions andexperiences of both.Friday 12:00 – 12: 45Conference 2Chaired by Tom Frouge (USA),Avokado Artists/¡Globalquerque!with Rossela Tarantino (Italy),Basilicata RegionIt is no secret that cultural and arts funding has taken amajor hit in these tough economic times, but that doesnot necessarily mean there is no money or support forthe arts. Perhaps it is in how we frame creative businessgoals to local and regional authorities. From a fundingpoint of view, development policies are perceived asmore important than culture, and, hence are betterfunded. We need to shift the conversation to arts andculture as an engine of economic development (bothdirectly and indirectly) instead of funding being perceivedas a ‘hand-out’. We will look at the issue from both the‘supply’ side (arts entrepreneurs) and the ‘demand’ side(government policy goals), sharing ideas and successstories of how the two sides have come together to thebenefit of both and the community.© Ayça KobanbayDaycase › Showcases/Artists A – ZÖzlem Taner (Turkey)Intro: Vecdi Sayar (Turkey), Pi Production© Ritva VälimäkiFriday 13:00 – 14:00Forum/Daycase StageDaycase › Showcases/Artists A – ZAntti Paalanen (Finland)Intro: Andrew Cronshaw (UK), Cloud Valley MusicSeSSions CO n f e r e n c eA journey through the world of champeta fiestas, lookingat the music, unusual circumstances and stories thathave made this area one of the world’s most diverseand dynamic.

This enables authorsbased in Europe to have their rights administered byany European collecting society. Likewise, any usercan choose any collecting society for licensing rightsadministered on a national, regional or Europeanlevel. Previously, users mostly dealt with the societyof the country where the user was based. The panelwill consider the following questions: What makes thedifference? Which rights are available from collectingsocieties in the first place? Does each collecting societyown the same set of rights? What is the differencebetween licensing through a small or a big collectingsociety? Is it difficult to change from one society toanother? These and other questions are to be discussedwith collecting society representatives.› Conference/Publisher MatchmakingFriday 15:15 – 16:00Conference 2Chaired by Jordi Bertran (Spain),Fira Mediterrània de ManresaThe University of Deusto, University Foundation of Bagesand the Tourism Laboratory of Diputació of Barcelonaare the three independent agencies that have chosenFira Mediterrània de Manresa to prepare a study on theeconomic impact of this arts market.

That spirit of creativeexchange between jazz and the global diaspora is as lifeaffirmingas ever, and Balkan, Asian, African, Nordic, Latinand Arabic music are all important accents in today’s jazzsyntax.In this new century, where does jazz sit within the rubricof world music? Is its appetite for collaboration and risktakingcherished and understood, or is it regarded as tooelusive, too difficult in a musical world that must answerto ever more demanding commercial imperatives?How will we respond as a creative community to anew generation of exceptional artists around the worldwhose music easily straddles both jazz and world musicdefinitions.Saturday 11:00 – 11:45Conference 1Chaired by Osiel Ibáñez (Chile/Sweden), SelamLatin American migration to Scandinavia goes backsome 40 years and has resulted in a Spanish-speakingdiaspora surpassing seventy thousand inhabitants.

In this talk, he willdiscuss how to market non-traditional world music actsfocusing on: new directions and new audiences in worldmusic; how to style and brand the new world music; theimportance of a concept; how to turn a shrinking musicmarket to your benefit and how it’s never been a bettertime to D-I-Y.Saturday 12:00 – 12:45Conference 1Chaired by Shain Shapiro (Canada/UK), CIMAwith David McLoughlin (Ireland/Brazil), BM&A;Stuart Thomas (UK), Creative ScotlandBehind the music industry, there’s another industryof sorts, the world of government funding with itsrole in the production and dissemination of music. Asthe industry continues to decline with the loss of thephysical market, public monies have become increasinglyimportant to artists’ careers, festivals and nationalpavilions. Export offices are becoming versions of A&R,putting forward artists that are best for the nationalbrand. Yet, as funding develops and increases, so dothe ways in which it is organised from one country toanother, producing a diverging field of funding systemsacross the globe. It’s best if we understand and learnfrom each other, and fully appreciate how importantgovernment funding is in the modern music industry.Come, meet and learn from the leaders of Canada, Brazil,UK and others to discuss the growing importance ofmusic funding in the mainstream.Saturday 12:00 – 12:45Conference 2Chaired by Keiko Kawashima (Japan), PlanktonJapan and the USA together make up about half theworld’s total sales of recorded music.

In the ‘60s, in the heady days ofindependence, he was the first to play Mandingo-rootedmusic on electric guitar and a string of hits provided thesoundtrack for the new freedom. But in 1968, the militarycoup saw him exiled from the airwaves and he returnedhome to become a farm worker. A brief comeback in1987 was halted by personal tragedy and he journeyedto Paris to work as a labourer. It wasn’t until 1990, that hebegan recording again.

They’re aBalkan beat group with live instruments entirely at itscore, melting down kolos, polkas, dub, ska, Latin, Gypsy,trashy dancehall and East European pop with a dramaticsense of rock dynamics, energised from the front by theimposing figure of singer Ognjen Curcic, rallying bandand audience around the dance party flag.www.takolako.dkOgnjen Curcic lead vocalsMalene Brask Olsen sax, clarinetSøren Stensby Hansen violinAndreas Broby Jensen accordionPhilip Zubin Hormozi Køppen bassJohan Christian Dynnesen drumsKristian Paulsen percussionS h o w c a s e s Special Focus: Nordic Club204205
