First Afghanistan female rapper debuts - Entertainment Tuesday, October 09, 2012 | 9:09 AM KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- "Listen to my story! Listen to my pain and suffering!" Afghanistan's first female rapper Sosan Firooz pleads into her microphone. With her first rap song, the outspoken 23-year-old singer is making history in her homeland where society frowns on women who take the stage. She is already shunned by some of her relatives. But for Firooz, the best way to express herself is through rap, a musical genre that is just starting to generate a following in Afghanistan. She sings about repression of women, her hopes for a peaceful Afghanistan and the misery she says she experienced as a small child living in neighbouring Iran. "I remember while we were in Iran, we were called `dirty Afghans' and told to go to the back of the line at the bakery," Firooz, who also spent time as a refugee in Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan with her family seven years ago, told The Associated Press in an interview.

BBC World Service | The Jury Finding musical 'diamonds' in the slums of Paradise City A program in Brazil is offering free classical music training to children in the slumsIt's empowering the children and giving them a chance at a brighter futureThere are 11 million Brazilians living in slums; more than 1 billion worldwide are in slumsTop 10 CNN Hero Thulani Madondo is educating hundreds of slum kids in South Africa Sao Paulo, Brazil (CNN) -- The violin she uses is cheap by most standards: made in China, it costs about $150. But that's an absolute fortune for Yanca Leite. On the day we visited her, the 15-year-old aspiring musician couldn't even afford breakfast. Yanca shares a one-bedroom shack with eight relatives in a sprawling shantytown on the outskirts of Sao Paulo called Paraisopolis, or Paradise City. The narrow path leading to their door is lined with the bottles and cans they collect to supplement their income. "The guy who recycles these bottles didn't pick them up and pay us," Yanca said. But Yanca thinks she has finally discovered her own way out: music.

Beethoven in the Congo: Kinshasa's classical orchestra Violin player Pauleth Masamba has been playing with the Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste since the mid-1990s. "Music is one of the things that comforts me, takes off the stress and makes me happy," she says. The Kinshasa-based orchestra holds regular concerts in a bid to inspire a new generation of musicians and help locals to discover the world of classical music. Masamba, like many other members of the orchestra, lives in a typical Kinshasa neighborhood that has unpaved roads and is lined with sewage. Conductor Armand Diangienda (far right) is the founder and conductor of the Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste. Their rehearsal room, in his house, can barely fit the ensemble of some 200 people. The Kinshasa orchestra does not have enough instruments so these boys must take 20-minute turns while practicing. Rehearsals are frequently interrupted by power blackouts. Rodrick Muamba joins rehearsals after work and aspires to become a world-renowned violinist Orchestre Symphonique Kimbanguiste

D-Jam Roland TR-808 The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, produced 1980–1984 Origins[edit] Use and importance[edit] As more realistic and tubular drum computers appeared, the TR-808 was discontinued and it became easy to buy a used machine for a low price. Notes[edit] External links[edit] Muve Music, for Mobile Users, Thrives in Shadow of Competitors In its shadow, another service, Muve Music, has quietly built one of the largest subscriber bases in the business by going after a part of the market that most digital companies have largely ignored: people who may not have computers at all. Muve, a phone-based music plan sold through Cricket Wireless, offers unlimited song downloads for $10 a month, tucked inconspicuously into a customer’s monthly cellphone bill, which ranges from $55 to $65. In many ways its users defy the conventional profile of a digital music consumer. They are young and urban, yes, but instead of a laptop or a tablet, they use a phone for everything. Since its introduction in January 2011, Muve has signed up 600,000 users, putting it in the league of Rhapsody, which has about one million subscribers, and Spotify. “Cricket’s customer is young, is ethnic, and tends to be middle and lower income,” said Jeff Toig, the senior vice president of Muve Music. But some analysts doubt Muve’s long-term potential.

Discogs est le pendant de Rate Your music, mais plutôt spécialisé electro au départ. La plateforme communautaire est basé sur un principe très ouvert techniquement qui donne aux infos de cette base un peu moins de rigueur que sur RYM. Mais même principe : on y trouve les disco des groupes et artistes, et des liens pour acheter, et laisser des commentaires. On y gère aussi sa collection. by hectorvadair Sep 10
