Jazz in America : Influence of African and Spanish rythms Introduction: By Ernesto R. Pichardo 2002© At the height of its popularity Jazz in America began to become influenced by Cuban music. Cuban music was born from the merging of the European and African cultures that made up the island. Although the main European influence is of the ancestry of Spain , both French and Italian music were influential in the 19 th century and these musical influences were shared. Cuban music, more so than the music of other Latin-American countries, represents a more balanced merger of African and Spanish traditions. Other Latin-American countries have a distinct Amerindian tradition. This was not possible in Cuba because Cuba ’s indigenous tribes were virtually wiped out by European disease early in the island’s colonization. Thus the African traditions took their place. The historical, economic and religious forces of the time allowed for the survival of traceable African traditions. They were well documented by the Spanish authorities, down to the geographic/ethnic origins of slaves purchased. The Slave Trade The history of the island of Cuba , since its discovery, was rooted in the political and economic needs of the colonizing Spaniards and others who utilized the island for trade and products. The economy of the island was, until the end of the 18

The Serpent as Ultimate Good
The snake was associated with the Goddess In Kerala state in India, the goddess Manasha is still worshipped. The cobra is sacred to her, and during a week-long festival every year, cobras are captured, kept to be fed with milk in her honour and then released. The cobra with spread hood appears as part of the uraeus , a golden band worn around the brow by Egyptian kings and queens as a sign of blessing upon the throne of the Pharoah. Even after the Greek Ptolemies (including Cleopatra) acquired that throne as a result of Roman political expedience, they kept the ancient 2-snake emblem. This winged naga represents the life goddess, Buto or Uazet [ Wadjet She appears with her sister, goddess of the afterlife, on either side of the sun disc. With Nekhebet , more often depicted in her form as Vulture Goddess, the two form the Ur-Uatchti. This emblem of Horus' victory over Set, the Adversary and Trickster god, appears as an amulet on temples. In the Tu'at or Underworld, one of the 4 deities associated with the 11th sector or 'hour,' is

Although wood is the best-known medium of African sculpture, many others are employed: copper alloys, iron, ivory, pottery, unfired clay, and, infrequently, stone. Unfired clay is and probably always was the most widely used medium in the whole continent, but, partly because it is so fragile and therefore difficult to collect, it has been largely ignored in the literature.

It is defined in terms of genes, species, and ecosystems which are the outcome of over 3,000 million years of evolution. The human species depends on biological diversity for its own survival. Thus, the term can be considered a synonym for "life on Earth". To date, an estimated 1.7 million species have been identified. The exact number of the Earth's existing species, however, is still unknown. Estimates vary from a low of 5 million to a high of 100 million.

A Call to Resistance Paulin J. Hountondji
Full text of an article from D+C Development and Cooperation
No. 6, November/December 1997: page 24-26
"For Africans, there are two forms of losing one's way: by immurement in particularism, or dispersion in the universal." What will happen to culture in a global economy? What will become of cultural identity, collective self-confirmation, the feeling of belonging to one and the same history, and the will to shape this history together with one another? What will come of the demand for self-determination? In Africa, the established reflexes are losing their way. Demands which hardly 40 years ago were obvious to independence fighters, must now long-windedly be explained, justified and defended. We exist less and less as a collective held together by tradition and common values. On the contrary, we accept with ever fewer reservations our dispersion in the world market. The desire to be ourselves has been replaced by impersonal concern about efficiency and economic success. I will give two examples of this loss of orientation, the language policy and the science policy of our countries, before I put the unavoidable, eternal, inevitable question: what is to be done? The problem of languages: A new rhetoric To be sure, that is not wholly wrong. A working language is never a completely foreign language, even if it is commanded by only a tiny minority. But those who are happy to make this point one-sidedly, state only a half-truth. The other half, which is more important in relation to the problem facing us, is the fact that while French and English are not entirely foreign languages, they nevertheless remain languages of foreign origin, a colonial legacy. Even if the present elite have assimilated and adopted them to varying degrees, they cannot be compared to the indigenous languages that for centuries have served the African people as a means of expression and communication.

Kingdom on Mount Cameroon: Studies in the History of the Cameroon Coast, 1500-1970; Cameroon Studies, Volume 1. By Edwin Ardener. Edited and with an Introduction by Shirley Ardener. (Providence and Oxford: Berghahn Books, 1996. Pp. xix, 380. $49.95.) In fact, both of these volumes stand at the methodological crossroads between history and anthropology in that they strive to unravel the sometimes-obscure chronology and context of the Cameroonian past using the tools and approaches of both of those disciplines. The first volume of the series constitutes a partial collection of the efforts of a scholar whose work mainly appeared in the 1950s and 1960s "when Cameroon Studies were in their relative infancy" (xviii). The second, dedicated to another ground-breaking researcher in the field, E. M. Chilver, is a diverse assembly of papers by more recent researchers who build on earlier work on the Bamenda Grassfields of Cameroon. In African Crossroads: Intersections between History and Anthropology in Cameroon, Ian Fowler and David Zeitlyn lead off with a discussion of the scholarly controversies surrounding the economic and linguistic diversity of the Grassfields area. An emphasis is placed on the "Tikar Problem", wherein the many dynasties claiming descent from the Tikar have neither linguistic nor cultural commonalities among them. The editors suggest that the Tikar introduced a "model" for a tribe, which Grassfields, chiefdoms emulated by claiming origin from them. Richard Fardon, in the first essay, "The Person, Ethnicity and the Problem of Identity in West Africa," confirms the view that the identity of the Chamba seems to be a product of the retrojection of the tribe's collective memory into a comprehensive historical narrative in which they could not have participated.

History Today August, 1997 Brazil's African legacy. (immense impact on economics, culture, religion, demography and genetics of the country)(Cover Story)
Author/s: John Geipel It was the seventeenth-century Jesuit preacher and missionary. Frei Antonio Vieira, who said that Brazil had `the body of America and the soul of Africa' and this description continues, to some extent, to hold true. In Vieira's day, Africans and their offspring black and mulatto, slave and free far outnumbered Europeans in Portugal's South American colony. Three centuries on, although the African element in the population is much diluted, Brazil's economic, demographic, genetic and cultural debt to Africa remains inestimable. From the colony's very infancy in the early sixteenth century, the contribution of Africa to the population and development of Brazil has been prodigious and pervasive and few aspects of Brazilian society and civilisation have remained untouched by its influence. Over the four centuries of Portuguese involvement in the Atlantic slave trade, an estimated 10 to 15 million Africans were transported to the European colonies in the Americas. Of these, over 3.5 million were taken to Brazil, many arriving after the growth of the coffee industry in the mid-nineteenth century. Even after the Atlantic slave trade to Brazil was declared illegal in 1850, contraband `Black Gold' continued to be smuggled across the ocean.
