And of all of the with child male vocalists that Ethiopia has produced (don't jape, thither have been quite an a a few) none are able to make eskeusta better than Mahmoud Ahmed. For 30 long time Mahmoud Ahmed has deftly combined the traditional Amharic music of Ethiopia (basically a five-note scale that features jazz style tattle offset by complex rotary regular recurrence patters which gives the music a clear-cut Indian feel), with pop and jazz yielding some of the most adventurous, passionate, ear-opening, downright phantasmagoric sounds this side of meat of the deepest, darkest, nickname or the to the highest degree out-there free jazz. In fact, until you've heard Ahmed's wholesale multi-octave voice in broad exercise, words hardly do it justice. As with the late with child Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, he simply has to be heard to be believed and appreciated. Ahmed has been a asterisk in Ethiopia almost since the day he began recording. His swooping vocals, complimented by the happy-go-lucky jazziness of the Ibex Band (with whom he recorded his masterpiece Ere Mela Mela) is identical different from what ordinarily is lumped into the broad face afro-pop. The rhythms ar repetitious and acute, not as well different from, say, Fela, precisely a little less hard. But it's Ahmed voice: swirling high notes that heavy as if they're chasing one some other, impeccable shade and choice of words that is the distinguishing element. By tattle in this style Ahmed has attempted to fuse the past and present. He's non an elitist when it comes to singing old Ethiopian music simply preferably he hears the similarities in Ethiopian pop that get thrived over time and is acute to play them together. As the westerly decisive attention to afro-pop centered on the medicine of sub-Saharan Africa, Ethiopian artists like Ahmed and Hirut Bekele, Ali Birra, and Alemayhu Eshete were less likely to receive reporting in the music press. Recently, jr. performers such as Aster Aweke (wHO emigrated to the US in the mid-1980s), and Netsanet Mellesse have received more ink thus opening the doors for those so disposed to explore the euphony that influenced the. And for those so inclined that substance becoming conversant with bright, demanding, simply unknown artists such as Mahmoud Ahmed. |

Everyone Needs To Be On Board For Massive Movement To Prevent HIV
Combination HIV prevention - fully enforced and supported by
governments, communities and scientists - is necessary for the
international community to reach its HIV prevention goals. This call
comes from Dr Peter Piot and Michael Bartos (Joint United Nations
Programme on HIV AIDS, Geneva, Switzerland) and colleagues in the sixth
of six document in The Lancet serial publication on HIV
Prevention.
After 25 age of research on HIV and Aids, the international community
has learned much about the transmission and prevention of the disease.
However, every clarence Day, the domain sees 7000 new infections. There experience been
several programs targeting HIV bar, yet many have been
underfunded, get not had sufficient coverage, or have not been
targeted to the to the highest degree needy populations. In parliamentary law to have the best the
political, cultural, and logistic barriers to effective HIV prevention,
say the authors, in that respect must be confident and unified leadership. There
must be additional support for programs educating edward Young people,
policies for injecting drug users, and early proven interventions, such
as those directed towards sexual minorities.
Not exclusively must external institutions, internal governments, and
community activists work hand in hand to put up HIV prevention demand,
just workplaces, schools, communities, and places of worship must also
render support. The authors bid for a link between treatment
activists, entrepreneurs, women's and young person activists, and the
alliance of people dedicated to HIV prevention and the people living
with HIV/AIDS. They need to continue the pursuance for a HIV vaccine and
adorn in HIV-preventing technologies as well as managerial, proficient,
and carrying out capacity for national regime working on
HIV/AIDS.
"If combination prevention is intensified as rapidly as possible from
today, then some 12 one thousand thousand fewer HIV infections will occur if
incidence at today's levels remains incessant, and the annual number of
new infections in 2015 testament have reduced by two-thirds," say the
authors. HIV prevention volition cost US $11.6 billion by 2010 and $15.3
billion by 2015, according to UNAIDS estimates, as programs
become more universally accessible.
Piot and colleagues conclude: "None of the successes in HIV prevention
all over the yesteryear quarter of a century have been easily north Korean won. They stimulate
required taboos to be broken, pleasures foregone, resources
reallocated. We must give birth the
courageousness to weight-lift ahead, because if we fail the challenge of HIV
prevention, HIV/AIDS will unrelentingly undermine human progress. An
energised HIV-prevention motility, marching hand in hand with the
movement to make entree to discourse universal, is a goal truly worth
the endeavor it will take."

Lester Young was one of the true jazz giants, a strain saxophonist world Health Organization came up with a altogether different conception in which to play his horn, floating over bar lines with a light tone sooner than adopting Coleman Hawkins' then-dominant forceful approach. A nonconformist, Young (nicknamed "Pres" by Billie Holiday) had the dry have in the fifties of hearing many young tenors try to reasoned incisively like him.
Although he dog-tired his earlier days near New Orleans, Lester Young lived in Minneapolis by 1920, playing in a fabled family band. He studied violin, trumpet, and drums, starting on countertenor at historic period 13. Because he refused to go in the South, Young left base in 1927 and rather toured with Art Bronson's Bostonians, shift to tenor. He was second with the family band in 1929 and then freelanced for a few years, playing with Walter Page's Blue Devils (1930), Eddie Barefield in 1931, second with the Blue Devils during 1932-1933, and Bennie Moten and King Oliver (both 1933). He was with Count Basie for the first time in 1934 merely left to interchange Coleman Hawkins with Fletcher Henderson. Unfortunately, it was expected that Young would try to emulate Hawk, and his laid-back well-grounded angered Henderson's sidemen, resulting in Pres not long-lasting long. After a go with Andy Kirk and a few brief jobs, Lester Young was second with Basie in 1936, hardly in time to ace with the band as they headed East. Young made history during his long time with Basie, not only active on Count's book dates merely leading with Billie Holiday and Teddy Wilson on a series of classical small-group sessions. In addition, on his rare recordings on clarinet with Basie and the Kansas City Six, Young displayed a very original cool wakeless that most sounded like alto saxophonist Paul Desmond in the fifties. After departure Count in 1940, Young's life history became a piece aimless, not capitalizing on his celebrity in the idle words world. He co-led a low profile band with his brother, drummer Lee Young, in Los Angeles until re-joining Basie in December 1943. Young had a well-chosen nine-spot months gage with the band, recorded a memorable quartet sitting with bassist Slam Stewart, and starred in the poor celluloid Jammin' the Blues ahead he was drafted. His experiences transaction with racialism in the military were frightful, poignant his mental state of intellect for the residual of his life.
Although many critics hold scripted that Lester Young never sounded as good afterwards acquiring out of the military, despite planetary health he actually was at his premier in the mid to late-'40s. He toured (and was good paid by Norman Granz) with Jazz at the Philharmonic on and off through the '40s and '50s, made a terrific series of recordings for Aladdin, and worked steady as a unmarried. Young besides adopted his stylus well to bop (which he had helped pave the way for in the 1930s). But mentally he was suffering, building a wall between himself and the external world, and inventing his have colorful vocabulary. Although many of his recordings in the fifties were fantabulous (viewing a greater emotional depth than in his earlier days), Young was bothered by the fact that some of his white imitators were making much more money than he was. He drank immense amounts of pot liquor and virtually stopped up eating, with predictable results. 1956's Wind Giants album establish him in eyeshade cast as did a well documented date in Washington, D.C., with a quartette and a last-place reunion with Count Basie at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival. But, for the 1957 telecast The Sound of Jazz, Young generally played sitting mastered (although he stole the show with an emotional one-chorus blue devils solo played to Billie Holiday). After becoming ill in Paris in early 1959, Lester Young came home and fundamentally drank himself to death. Many decades after his dying, Pres is still considered (along with Coleman Hawkins and John Coltrane) one of the trey most authoritative tenor saxophonists of all fourth dimension.

Good Charlotte Good 'n' Ready for Summer Tour
The on-again BFFs may be entering rerun mode this...
Lohan to work in morgue as punishment
The 21-year-old star will complete the work-placement as part of a court-ordered programme, in which she must learn about the dangers of drink-driving.
According to reports, Lohan is due to spend two four-hour days at the morgue, as well as completing a stint working in a hospital emergency room.
The actress was arrested twice last year on charges of driving while under the influence. In August she pleaded guilty to misdemeanour drunken driving and cocaine charges.
Lohan served 84 minutes of her 24-hour jail sentence last November. She must now complete an alcohol education programme and perform 10 days of community service.
Hollywood actors' labor talks reach key juncture
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The smaller of Hollywood's two
performers unions entered a final day of contract talks with
studios on Tuesday before the larger, more militant Screen
Actors Guild was due to renew its own labor negotiations.
The 70,000-member American Federation of Television and
Radio Artists, or AFTRA, opened talks with the studios on May
7, a day after separate negotiations between the studios and
SAG, which represents 120,000 actors, hit a stalemate.
The contracts for both unions expire June 30, and Hollywood
is nervous that the actors might go on strike, paralyzing the
entertainment industry much as a 100-day walkout by
screenwriters did earlier this year.
The industry already is in de facto strike mode, with
studios starting to stockpile TV episodes and unwilling to
launch work on movies that could be affected by a walkout.
The studios have rankled SAG and AFTRA alike by seeking new
rules allowing TV and movie clips to be played on the Internet
without prior consent from actors who appear in them. The
unions, which share about 44,000 members, have singled out the
clips dispute as the biggest stumbling block in their contract
talks.
In a message to members on Sunday, AFTRA president Roberta
Reardon said her union was looking for "a creative solution"
that "will protect our members' images" while permitting a new
legitimate market in online clips to flourish.
Regardless of the outcome, Reardon said her union would
"brief SAG on our talks" before SAG and studios resume their
negotiations.
SAG and the studios have agreed to return to the bargaining
table by this Wednesday at the latest, giving the parties a
little more than four weeks to reach a settlement before the
existing labor pacts for both unions run out.
Aniston gets co-stars for new film
The Hollywood Reporter says that Martin Sheen, Dan Fogler and Judy Greer will star opposite the duo in the Brandon Camp-directed film.
'Traveling' tells the story of a widowed self-help author (Eckhart) who finds his feelings reawakened when he meets a hotel florist (Aniston) during one of his grief seminars.
Sheen will play the author's father, Fogler his manager and Greer the friend and employee of Aniston's character.
Actor Joe Anderson will play Aniston's character's boyfriend in the film.
David Bowie - Bowie Says Musical Claims Are Absolute Toss
David Bowie has rubbished rumours that he has given permission for a musical version of his 1976 film The Man Who Fell To Earth.
The Sun newspaper had claimed on Saturday that a version of the cult sci-fi film The Man Who Fell To Earth was planned for the West End after Bowie gave his blessing for work to begin on the project.
According to a source quoted by the newspaper the involvement of director Peter Schaufuss had swung the Thin White Duke's decision.
But when questioned about the tabloid reports, Bowie said the story was "absolute toss".
"I have no idea who Peter Schaufuss is either," he added.
And a statement released by the Ziggy Stardust legend's record company RZO Music said the label had licensed "absolutely no material written by Mr Bowie to Schaufuss".
"We have never been requested to and we do not intend to," they explained.
Nic Roeg's film adaptation of Walter Tevis' novel starred Bowie as Thomas Jerome Newton, a humanoid alien who comes to the Earth in search of water to save his ailing home planet.
But the RZO statement said the company had "first hand knowledge" that the Walter Tevis estate has not licensed the musical rights to The Man Who Fell To Earth to Danish impresario Schaufuss.
"Further, the advertising for this production appears to be utilising an unauthorised name and likeness of Mr. Bowie and we will seek injunctions, if necessary, to stop their use," it added.
It appears unlikely that Bowie's hits will be joining other music-inspired shows such as Abba's Mamma Mia, Madness' Our House and Queen's We Will Rock You.
