En Lo-nacional musical o lo-musical anticolonial hablamos con Hajar, nuestra corresponsal en Tánger, sobre la música andalusí en Marruecos, su uso durante los últimos años del Protectorado (1912-1956) y la lucha por la independencia. Junto con la música judeo-marroquí, fueron los pilares culturales de la "marroquinidad" entre los 30s-50s. La oficialidad de la música andalusí durante las décadas del poscolonialismo supuso la marginalidad de otros géneros musicales de los que también hablamos.

As has become a tradition here at Bonjour Chai, we're going to turn to the Sephardic side of Passover celebrations with a deep dive into Mimouna and its surrounding culture. Joining us for this wide-ranging conversation is Christopher Silver, a professor of Jewish Studies at McGill University and the author of Recording History: Jews, Muslims, and Music across Twentieth-Century North Africa, which came out June 2022. We'll discuss his book, hear some excellent African Jewish music, chat about food and maybe, along the way, discover the true meaning of Mimouna. Credits Bonjour Chai is hosted by Avi Finegold and Phoebe Maltz Bovy. Zachary Kauffman is the producer and editor. Michael Fraiman is the executive producer. Our theme music is by Socalled. The show is a co-production from The Jewish Learning Lab and The CJN, and is distributed by The CJN Podcast Network. Support the show by subscribing to this podcast or donating to The CJN.

Christopher Silver talked about the history of music in North Africa, notably in Tunisia and Morocco. He outlined the contributions of famous Jewish and Muslim North African musicians to our current knowledge of modern-day music. Christopher Silver is the Segal Family Assistant Professor in Jewish History and Culture at McGill University. He is the founder and curator of the website Gharamophone.com, a digital archive of North African records from the first half of the twentieth century.Created and hosted by Mikey Muhanna, afikraEdited by: Ramzi RammanTheme music by: Tarek Yamani https://www.instagram.com/tarek_yamani/About the afikra Conversations:Our long-form interview series features academics, arts, ‎and media experts who are helping document and/or shape the history and culture of the Arab world through their ‎work.

Recording History: Jews, Muslims, and Music Across Twentieth-Century North Africa (Stanford UP, 2022) offers a new history of twentieth-century North Africa, one that gives voice to the musicians who defined an era and the vibrant recording industry that carried their popular sounds from the colonial period through decolonization. If twentieth-century stories of Jews and Muslims in North Africa are usually told separately, Recording History demonstrates that we have not been listening to what brought these communities together: Arab music. For decades, thousands of phonograph records flowed across North African borders. The sounds embedded in their grooves were shaped in large part by Jewish musicians, who gave voice to a changing world around them. Their popular songs broadcast on radio, performed in concert, and circulated on disc carried with them the power to delight audiences, stir national sentiments, and frustrate French colonial authorities. With this book, Christopher Silver provides the first history of the music scene and recording industry across Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, and offers striking insights into Jewish-Muslim relations through the rhythms that animated them. He traces the path of hit-makers and their hit records, illuminating regional and transnational connections. In asking what North Africa once sounded like, Silver recovers a world of many voices—of pioneering impresarios, daring female stars, cantors turned composers, witnesses and survivors of war, and national and nationalist icons—whose music still resonates well into our present. You can listen to the full versions of the songs mentioned in this interview here: Louisa Tounsia's "Ma fiche flous" Habiba Messika's “Anti Souria Biladi” Samy Elmaghribi's “Allah watani oua-sultani”  Avery Weinman is a PhD student in History at the University of California, Los Angeles.

with Christopher Silver | The history of North Africa is usually framed by the period of French colonialism and the era of independent nations that followed. But what happens if we let an object like the 78 rpm record do the work of periodization? In this episode, we talk to Christopher Silver about the unique vantage point that gramophone records offer on the emergence of national culture in the Maghreb during the first half of the 20th century. We will explore the work of artists whose lives straddled Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco as well as the colonial metropoles, and we will highlight the role of North African Jewish singers, musicians, producers, and promoters in the development of the region's music industry. « Click for More »

Welcome to the LeadFluencer Podcast. In this initial episode, Drs. David W. Rausch and Christopher F. Silver introduce themselves and describe their background. Coming from humble beginnings, Dr. Rausch discusses his initial career in the United States Navy, moving into corporate America and Executive Leadership in various size companies. He eventually completed his doctoral work and landed as a professor and administrator at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Dr. Christopher Silver grew up in a farming and former coal mining community in the southeastern Appalachian mountain region of the United States. He studied psychology and religious studies while also serving in Information Technology Management for various businesses. Dr. Silver has also served in the roles of project management, human resources, corporate and adult training, as well as applied research with grants totally over 2 million dollars. Both hosts welcome listeners to the podcast and discuss the process of leadership within any position in an organization and suggest a title does not mean one is a leader.

Brexit threatens to undermine the economy, the constitution, and all of our lives in different ways. Is there anything to be said for it? Is there anything to be said for the issue that has dominated the Tory Party for decades, and now engulfs the whole of the UK? How are our politicians responding? How are we responding? Podcast host Maurice Smith invited The National columnist Shona Craven and writer and activist Christopher Silver to the Newsnet Radio studio to discuss all the implications, as well as the week's political events in general. The result is a thought-provoking discussion.

Whilst editing the behemoth that is the Episode 002 recording, we realized that there was a proper mini episode within wherein we introduce one another in a sickeningly polite fashion. This is that mini episode.

World affairs are getting so scary, so baffling, that people are grasping for historical parallels. Is it the 1930s all over again? The cataclysmic 1970s or Thatcher / Reagan 1980s? Where are the parallels to tumultuous votes that result in the UK choosing to leave Europe, or – gulp! – President-elect Trump? This week’s podcast host Maurice Smith put those questions and more to guest commentators Zara Kitson of the Scottish Greens, and our regular contributor Chris Silver. Both “millennials” and Yes voters in the Scottish referendum, they consider what it all means at local and Scottish level. What do people want? If communities feel excluded, what attracts them to future political solutions. Have the SNP got the answers, or is it much more complicated than that? The result offers a refreshing insight into what is going on in Scottish politics, and where it might be leading.

Where next for the Scottish media? And what exactly is it anyway? We invited a group of people from the industry into the studio to discuss the type of media Scotland needs, and what is being done to achieve it. We chose a recent book – Christopher Silver’s Demanding Democracy: The Case for a Scottish Media* – as the basis for an informed discussion about Scotland’s traditional, “mainstream”, media and its newer digital counterparts. Our guests Angela Haggerty, Kevin McKenna and Christopher Silver himself joined journalist and producer Maurice Smith in a conversation that travelled all the way from life in traditional and digital newsrooms to the Daily Mail, Leveson Inquiry and the Wee Ginger Dug. Our group are all media practitioners in various guises. Angela is editor of Common Space and a Sunday Herald columnist, and Kevin is a regular contributor to The Herald, Observer and The National. Combined with Christopher’s writing experience and Maurice’s career in newspapers and broadcasting, the group’s experience spans decades of journalism in Scotland – decades that have witnessed massive change in politics and the media. The main thrust of Demanding Democracy is that Scotland needs a stronger media that is more appropriate to the needs of modern society. It covers the relative decline of the newspaper industry, the growth of digital for both mainstream and “new” media, and different models including Scandinavia, where larger media are obliged to effectively cross-subsidise smaller concerns. Our group examines the current media landscape, how it may develop and what should happen next, including the BBC, new media and existing newspapers.

The murder of Labour MP Jo Cox last Thursday has raised many issues relating to the tone of political debate and the role of politicians in society. This week’s podcast – recorded shortly after the event and the initial public reaction – considers the fall-out from the shocking turn of events during a campaign that has been notable for its vicious exchanges in the media and out on the campaign trail. Two of Newsnet’s regular commentators – blogger James Kelly of ScotGoesPop and writer Christopher Silver – joined Newsnet Radio podcast host Derek Bateman in the wake of the Cox murder and before the appearance in court of the man arrested soon afterwards by West Yorkshire police.

For the 44th episode of the For A' That podcast Andrew and I were joined by Christopher Silver.Christopher is one the team that has been bringing some of the best and most talked about vids in the indyref campaign so far, and they're currently in the process of making a feature-length documentary about it.We talked about what stage they are at with the film and when and where we can expect to be seeing it.That moved us on to the importance of crowdfunding in the campaign.Everyone's favourite Gitmo Non-Closer stuck his oar in last week, so we had a natter about that.Will Scottish Independence deal cancer research a blow? The Express seemed to think so, we were less than convinced.Also, given the increasingly surrealist note of the No campaign, I decided to take the Yes side on a more surrealist journey, and therefore for some reason talked about aliens.There's all that and much more.Hope you enjoy
