Fugene Continued on Page 7B Nicaragua — r™ "" function of promoting human rights. “We’re trying to educate people about Latin American culture.” he says, “because we feel that a wider understanding will help to advance human rights there. We as Americans need to realize that Latin America has a very rich culture. It has an intellectual history and an artistic diversity that we aren’t exposed to very much here." Orsinger says exposing peo ple to Nicaraguan culture is a good way to counter media-bred misconceptions about the coun try. “Bringing the artists and musicians here puts a face on Nicaragua that we don't nor mally see,” he explains. "We hear about Nicaragua through the media as the Marxist Leninist Sandinistas. When we see Nicaraguans singing and en joying themselves, it makes it easier to have an empathy for them as people. “We hope that this feeling of empathy will help prevent us from drifting into war. with Nicaragua. Right now the hostilities are heightened. We don’t know what’s going to happen in the next six months. This might be the last chance for a Nicaraguan band to come to Oregon.” Oregon's own J-Walkers are an appropriate choice to open this show. Known for their hot. Third World-influenced dance sound, the J-Walkers are one of Eugene’s more politically conscious bands. Some of their original compositions address the same concerns that Crupo Mancotal's do. "Too Many Bullets.” for example, decries the proliferation of weapons in the Third World. Although some people have called the J-Walkers a reggae band, lead singer Kathy Wilson finds the label inappropriate. "That's not a good description of our music." she says. "We don’t do dreadlocks reggae, were not black. So being classified as a reggae band is not appropriate. Keggae/rock is closer, but I prefer the term 'world beat music’." Wilson says this is a new term in the music world, used to describe music which is a fu sion of American. Latin, Jamaican. English and African music.... The J-.YValkers recently added Allen and Brent Bosworth (formerly of the Bosworth Brothers Band).to their lineup. Wilson says this should enhance the group's ability to play JUtin -rhythms since the two brothers spent some time in Brazil before joining the band: She says, they absorbed Brazilian musical-styles (such as the widespead practice of combining salsa and reggae), and brought track several per cussion instruments and records. Given the context of the times, it’s a very special ex perience to watch a Nicaraguan musical group send a roomful of Americans into a dancing euphoria. ' . Tonight's concert should pro .ve to be an uplifting celebration of.solidarity and friendship as w.ell as a chance to hear some great music.
