	Sebunjo Joel unfolds folk music and oral literature from the Pearl of Africa
		A long time ago, it seems that many Bantu societies were organised along matrilineal lines, and were governed by women; a whole heap of oral legends testifies to this, and female founding ancestors - where they exist in tradition - are as venerated and respected as their male counterparts.
		Thus the song develops a unity of rhythm on the microscale: the synchronized swinging of the hoes makes the work easier; but also on the macroscale: the symbolism of their common effort.
		The song, sung in the mother tongue of the region, is simple because it's text - a "jingle" about a successful birth due to the presence of the midwife - is most important and it is sung with an accompanying dance.

	Celebrating Pete Seeger
		Viewing song as a bridge to other times, other cultures, and a vibrant connection between the past and present, he then brings to his concert performances a masterful weave of anecdotes and music evoking a common humanity and shared social vision.
		While the humor and generous humanitarian spirit of Seeger's live shows is missed, the song performances are consistently strong and imbued with the conviction and integrity associated with the Seeger name.
		Within three years the folk quartet sold four million records, while popularizing Leadbelly's "Goodnight Irene," Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," and the South African song "Wimoweh" (appearing on Where Have All The Flowers Gone in a 1980 version recorded at a Weavers reunion concert).

	From Homeland to Township: Rap Music and South African Choral Tradition
		The McAdoo Singers take the stage, opening their concert of African American minstrel and plantation songs as they usually do with a choral performance of "Negro spirituals." The audience is captivated by a music that is at once foreign and familiar.
		Noticeably, this choral tradition is deeply influenced by African American musical forms, whether in the rural homelands, the urban townships, or the process of cultural interaction between the two.
		Bits and pieces from the folk and religious music of European settlers, urban songs from returning migrant workers, and elements from the American minstrel performances had already begun to creep in.

	Vocal harmony from around the world
		The liner notes contain complete lyrics for all the songs, which is a good thing because when one is first touched by anew ballad or folk song of this kind of depth and feeling, being able to read the poetry behind it adds to the experience.
		Songs such as "Normandy Orchards" and "The L and N Don't Stop Here Anymore" offer comfort during hard times, or may be the only form of protest available to the working-class; as such, their strength can be more visceral than more supposedly cultured forms.
		Folk songs exist in all countries and come from all centuries, whether in the form of lullabies, love songs or narrative ballads.

	A Song To Sing
		I knew that folk music could and should have a role in making all that work,' I mean articulating the vision and expressing creatively the sense of consensus by the activist community, by the dreamers, by the organizers.
		In a basement across the street was the Gaslight, a small folk club, where in early 1961 she met the resident M.C., a comedian and sometime folk singer named Noel Stookey.
		But "in terms of folk music, it was only because I started singing in the Village and was exposed to people like [Tom] Paxton, Ramblin' Jack Elliot and especially Dave Van Ronk that I became interested in doing some of those songs," he told Baggelaar and Milton.

	HfM: Daniel Steinberg
		Nonetheless, the popular songs of the 30's and 40's, as well as the piano sonatas of Gershwin and a wide range of classical composers, were always heard in the house as he was growing up.
		Daniel's repertoire of traditional music was nourished and broadened in the basement of the San Francisco Folk Music club and at the Festival Of American Fiddle Tunes, where he went from gate-crasher to featured faculty over the course of ten years.
		The response to his workshops was extraordinary, and in 1999, he founded an ongoing community choir, the World Harmony Chorus, under the auspices of the Community School of Music and Arts in Mountain View, CA.

		Misfortune is studded with traditional British folk songs and song fragments uncovered and adapted by Harding, as well as camouflaged original compositions and an apposite Leonard Cohen composition, “Joan of Arc,” and these songs “demanded to be sung,” says Wes.
		The four Trysters supported the July 2005 release of Songs of Misfortune with a short American tour in which the onstage humor and camaraderie delightfully lightened the subject matter of the songs, which depict a total of 13 gruesome deaths.
		There are about 18 books of illustrated Paxton songs and stories for the younger set, as well as numerous instructional books and a Paxton autobiography, The Honor of Your Company, for their older siblings and parents.

	The History of Rock Music - The beginnings
		Bill Haley was the most unlikely "teen idol" (he was almost 30), and that song sounded like a novelty number, not a revolutionary anthem, but that was the song that turned rock'n'roll into a nation-wide phenomenon.
		His songs were the first ones to have the guitar as "the" lead instrument, and introduced the descending pentatonic double-stops (the essence of rock guitar).
		The fact that their songs didn't climb the charts does not mean that they were any less talented than Presley.

	The Recorder Blues
		Further south, in the Congo-Angola region, where Bantu and pygmy influence was felt, the choral music was among the most highly developed in Africa.
		This, in turn, was reshaped by the need of spirituals to encourage the soul, work-songs to relieve drudgery, field shouts to communicate or relieve loneliness in the vast acreage, ring shouts for emotional Christian worship, jump-ups (short, unrelated lines over chorded accompaniment), narrative ballads, and a pervasive rhythmic percussion of hand, feet, and body.
		In folk music the contrast between relative major and minor is so slight that the modes almost fuse into one.
