African music to be celebrated at test
By Kaly Soto
Oregon tiAr'y (
One would think that traditional African music
would be filled the sorrow of the struggle for inde
pendence that many African countries and African
people have gone through. Anyone who has listened
to Marimba music: knows that the assumption above
is incorrect.
In celebration of this music, the 19M Northwest
Marimba Fust: A Celebration of Zimbabwean Music
is coming to Eugene Oct. 1 and 2.
Marimba music has its roots in the traditional
music of Zimbabwe It was introduced to the North
west by a man called Dumilsani.
Dumi (os he is called by students of Marimba)
was trained by teachers at Kwanangomo. a music
c ollege in Zimbabwe In lOfiH Dumi < arne to the
University of Washington with the knowledge he
had attained at Kwanangomo and introduc ed the
Northwest to Marimba music.
Marimba music was original!) played on an
instrument called a Mbira. a metal instrument vague
ly resembling a stenographer's keyboard. The songs
were transferred to the Marimba, an instrument
much like the xylophone bee ause the Mbiro is a
very quiet instrument and the Marimba is able to
produce a louder sound. When the Mbira is used it
is paired with a resonator or played in n wooden
shell to amplify the sound.
This year's festival is being hosted by The Kutsin
hira Community Marimba Center, the University
School of Music and The Dorothy Project
The festival's activities will include workshops
for advanced and lieginning Marimba players. Scott
Harkurst, who handles publicity for the School of
Music said ' the educational c.omjxment of the work
shops is very important We have been adding quite
a bit of repertoire in the area of world music. This
is a unique event in that it’s not just a series of con
certs, the workshops will help introduce people
to new music. The educational component is very
important because we've been looked into European
music for so long."
Concerts will take place Friday night and Sat
urday night Friday's concert will in< lude perfor
mances by Mflharimhas. Chiwoniso. Kudana, and
Paul Prince with Zangn Zanga. Saturday's lineup
consists of Shumba. Mutupo, Dandaro. Mahonyera.
Musango, Russell Landers playingChipendnni. and
Mai Chi A Kubatana.
Joel Linstrom, who is the Executive Director ol
Kutsinhira Community Marimba Community t.en
ter. encourages everyone to s ome to the M '
Kcxt to enjoy the music and the vvorkshf
strom said that the Marimba is an easy instr.imei.
to learn even if vou an; musically illiterate, in addi
tion in being an easy instrument to learn the Mar, a
ha is iKi .nique in that the music that is made fr»m
it is ve«y >,< lusive."
Linstroi. went on to say that in many African
tribes there is no word for musician because every -
one is a "musicc tiecmise they are alive. Marim
ba music is about people who love music thut’s
inclusive."
The annual festival grew out of the Zimbabwe
independence festivals in Seattle.
The i ost of attending this event varies, depend
ing on activity. the workshops are $10 per hour,
lectures are free (brunch at the lecture is $4.50),
Friday's concert is S5 per person, and Saturday's
concert is $8 for adults and $4 for children.
Cornucopia of music offered at Beall Hall
By John Fleischli
hy !ty> Oregon (to</y t rrxttak)
Whilo there are many different cultural events
going on around Kugene all of the time, if you ore
o music fnn you will want to check out the com
ing music events at the University's Beall music
hall this year.
There are many concerts going on. on campus
that you would not be able to hear at the usual rock
liars and venues such as the Hull Center. The tal
ent that goes through Beall Mall is great and the
si.ope of the music is broad.
The purpose of Beall Mali is to provide a place
where sounds from the academic ns well as the pop
ular side of the music spectrum can be heard.
Beall Hall is a comfortably sized auditorium with
good acoustics and a seating capacity of 550. Gen
erally, there is no problem getting a seat, though a
couple of concerts have (men known to sell out. such
as the University's gospel ensemble.
In addition to concerts nut on by students here,
there are ensembles brought in from all over. There
are four main music series through the year — the
children's music series, the chamber music series,
the world music series, and the vanguard series,
which features innovative. 20th century music.
The concerts in each series are spread through
out the year, which is convenient if you like a cer
tain series and want to see several or all of the events
in the series without having to give up a whole
week's worth of nights, as you would if a series was
jammed all into one week.
The world and vanguard series include one guest
performance a term, and the children's concert series
will have five concerts during the course of the year
and the chamber series six.
There are about 25 music ensembles made up
of students from the University community. Many
of these ensembles are open to non-music majors
as well as majors. Several are made up of a mix.
There are many different types of jazz ensembles
that perform, if you are interested in that, or there
are many other types of groups one could join.
Most student tickets are half-price or less for gen
eral admission. And for those with a tight enter
tainment budget, it's nice to know that then; are also
a lot of free concerts scheduled.
The recent cutbacks in funding brought on by
1990's Ballot Measure 5 have hurt the music school,
but fortunately they have not affected the number
of scheduled performances at Beall Hall. Instead
the number of trips taken by the various campus
ensembles will be curtailed, Scott Barkhurst of the
Music Department said.
