 Préparons la relève et YouToubons un brin   (enregistré le 29 mai 2021) Nous recevons avec plaisir une étudiante en médecine vétérinaire qui, pionnière à sa façon, est une des toutes premières à avoir sa chaîne YouTube décrivant son parcours scolaire. Après une introduction sinueuse agrémentée par les deux animateurs de beaucoup trop de retours sur des épisodes précédemment enregistrés, Meklit Shiferaw nous partage son parcours et son regard rafraîchissant sur la profession vétérinaire.   Tout le contenu en audio et vidéo de la web-série Du Coq À l'Âne est disponible via le lien ici: https://linktr.ee/ducoqalane   Produite par l'agence de création et de diffusion de contenu numérique Machine ​4771, Du Coq À l'Âne est une web-série de niche qui traite de la santé animale et ​tout ce qui entoure la profession vétérinaire. Diffusée en audio et en vidéo sur ​l'ensemble des principales plate-forme web, Du Coq À l'Âne offre du contenu ​parfois grand public mais qui s'adresse principalement à la communauté ​professionnelle et scientifique vétérinaire. Les réputés et disjonctés animateurs, ​Dr. Louis-Philippe de Lorimier (le coq) et Dr. Éric Norman Carmel (l'âne) y ​discutent sans filtre de leur profession et vous présentent des invités fascinants. ​Touchant avec humour aux multiples aspects de la santé animale et de ​l'incroyable diversité des liens avec humains/animaux, ils passent toujours, ​chemin faisant, du coq à l'âne ! Enregistrée en studio, la web-série Du Coq à l'Âne offre un format ​qui se rapproche bien plus du talk show que du contenu en format ​meeting zoom qui pullule sur le web depuis les dernières années. ​Dans une ambiance conviviale et décontractée et avec une ​approche humoristique caractérisant les deux animateurs, on ​reçoit à chaque épisode un acteur de la profession pour une ​rencontre d'environ 1 heure dans laquelle on discute des ​différents aspects de la médecine vétérinaire en lien avec ​l'expertise et l'expérience de l' invité. On y aborde aussi des sujets ​d'actualité et de recherches scientifiques qui ne sont ​habituellement pas traités dans les médias conventionnels. À ​travers les discussions avec l'invité, les deux animateurs partagent ​le fruit de leurs lectures récentes, leurs connaissances ainsi que ​leur expertise professionnelle afin de faire découvrir aux auditeurs ​des informations nouvelles et parfois insolites. Du Coq À l'Âne est animée par deux vétérinaires spécialistes cumulant près de 50 ans ​d'expérience et bien connus dans la communauté vétérinaire québécoise : Louis-Philippe de Lorimier: Après un B.Sc. de l'Université McGill en 1991, il obtient son ​doctorat en médecine vétérinaire de l'Université de Montréal en 1996. Il œuvre en pratique ​générale des animaux de compagnie pendant 4 années à Montréal avant de devenir ​spécialiste en oncologie vétérinaire en 2003. Professeur adjoint à l''Université d'Illinois ​jusqu'en 2007, il s'est par la suite joint à l'équipe de spécialistes du Centre Vétérinaire Rive-​Sud. Il siège sur plusieurs comités nationaux et internationaux en relation avec ses champs ​d'intérêt, est consultant en oncologie sur le Veterinary Information Network (www.vin.com) et ​participe à des réseaux de collaboration en oncologie vétérinaire et comparative. Auteur ou ​co-auteur de plus de 40 articles scientifiques et de 12 chapitres de livres, ses principaux ​intérêts portent sur les nouvelles thérapies anticancéreuses, l'oncologie comparative et les ​soins permettant d'améliorer la qualité de vie de ses patients.

Founded in 1988, Rosalind’s Ethiopian Restaurant is practically a landmark. In fact, it helped inspire the formal creation of LA’s Little Ethiopia. Pre-pandemic, Rosalind’s had served as a communal hub thanks to Meklit’s personable and well-connected father. But COVID put them into a tailspin, with a daunting menu and food that didn’t easily lend itself to takeout. Meklit decided to experiment with the menu, working with her father to update both the copy on the menu and the dishes themselves. Soon, customers were lining up asking for the new specials, and John Legend and Chrissy Teigen even gave the restaurant a resounding seal of approval.

Algunos dicen que este Farsa es el trabajo más aventurero, libre y personal de Silvia Pérez Cruz… No, es un trayecto más en su viaje. Ella nació así y ese cantar es el que ha ido desplegando y produciendo o coproduciendo a lo largo de 11 de novembre (2012), granada (2014), Domus (2016), Vestida de nit (2017) o en el sin fin de proyectos con diferentes músicos en los que se ha embarcado, como Granada con Raül Refree. Nunca estuvo encorsetada y su personalidad siempre fue el viento que marcó el camino bajo las alas. Una vez más, vuela y permanece, como todo lo soñado. El universo musical y sonoro de Silvia Pérez Cruz es de los más ricos de nuestro panorama. Sus composiciones son pluscuamperfectas porque tienen la grandeza de ser siempre acompañadas con esa voz entre angelical y de tablao flamenco nocturniego. Este disco, que fue grabado durante 2019, nos muestra la realidad de la compositora y sus últimos tres años. Son letras originales y también algún poema prestado. Farsa (género imposible) responde a la inquietud de la cantante en relación con la dualidad de lo que se muestra y lo que realmente somos. En ella sobrevive y destacan los sones frágiles, el equilibrio interior y la magia de la buena música en tiempos del electrolatino. El célebre grupo de cámara Kronos Quartet y sus colaboradores especiales han grabado un álbum que celebra la obra del ícono del folk estadounidense, Pete Seeger. En Long Time Passing (Smithsonian Folkways), Kronos Quartet aparece junto con grandes artistas del folk estadounidense: Sam Amidon, Maria Arnal, Brian Carpenter, Lee Knight, Meklit y Aoife O’Donovan. “Pete Seeger ha sido parte de mi vida desde que tengo memoria”, dice el violinista David Harrington, citando el álbum en vivo We Shall Overcome como una grabación fundamental. Estos artistas dan voz a las canciones sencillas de lucha que Seeger escribió y recopiló en sus más de setenta años como músico, mientras que los arreglos de Jacob Garchik y Kronos traducen de manera conmovedora (y sin problemas) su forma de tocar el banjo a través de los dos violines del grupo (Harrington y John Sherba), viola (Hank Dutt) y violonchelo (Sunny Yang).

On December 1st, 2006, Rahwa and Asmeret Habte took over Hidmo on 20th & Jackson. In a very short amount of time, Hidmo became known as a community center cleverly disguised as an Eritrean restaurant in Seattle's Central District, and a mecca for Seattle hip-hop. The space Rahwa and Asmeret helped create along with their family and friends became a safe space for youth in the neighborhood, an organizing hub for a large amount of community organizations in the city, and an all-ages venue for musicians who had very few venues accessible to them. Hidmo brought together community in a way that very few venues in our city ever have, and what happened those 4 years on 20th & Jackson can still be felt throughout our community, and the world today.  Rahwa tragically passed away earlier this year, and in honor of her legacy and the legacy of what she helped build, we brought together a playlist of some of her favorite artists who have graced the hut, along with personal memories shared from the artists themselves, including Blue Scholars, THEEsatisfaction, Khingz, JusMoni, Hollis, Shabazz Palaces, Meklit, Invincible, Dakota Camacho, Beyond Reality, Siren's Echo, One Be Lo and more. 1.

Roddy Doyle talks about his latest novel, Love. In the course of one summer’s evening in Dublin, two old drinking buddies revisit the pubs and the love affairs of their youth, and talk openly about their marriages and other relationships, downing several pints of stout along the way. Gairloch Museum in the Highlands of Scotland is one of the winners of the 2020 Art Fund Museum of the Year prize. Its curator Karen Buchanan explains how they renovated a local nuclear bunker to house the museum and how the local community helped raise the £2.4m needed for the project as well as curating the exhibitions on Gaelic culture inside. As theatres attempt to work around the current restrictions, many are putting on outdoor performances and at the Leeds Playhouse last week, imitating the dog put on Dr Blood’s Old Travelling show, which is now touring. Nick Ahad went to see his first show since March and reports back. He’ll also discuss a nationwide project, Signal Fires, which sees theatres across Britain uniting in storytelling around the fire. The Kronos Quartet have just released their latest album, Long Time Passing. It is a celebration of the music and life of Pete Seeger, singer, banjo player and activist. Violinist David Harrington explains why one of the most renowned classical quartets is playing If I had a Hammer and Where Have All the Flowers Gone? This is a collaboration with several other artists and we hear from one, the Ethiopian-American singer, Meklit. Presenter Tom Sutcliffe Producer Jerome Weatherald

San Francisco-based Ethio-American singer, composer, songwriter and bandleader Meklit Hadero, is a TED Senior Fellow, National Geographic Explorer, and co-founder of the visionary pan-African Nile Project ensemble. With a sound that merges Addis Ababa, Los Angeles, New Orleans and San Francisco, Meklit’s approach as bandleader sees two percussionists, groovy sax and bass. Singing in both English and Amharic, she delivers Ethio-roots-jazz with a heavy dose of pop and soul that makes bodies move. Meklit and her band play in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Watch the session here:  From her TED Talk, "The unexpected beauty of everyday sounds":

Gab & Jam Episode 43 Musical Discoveries V2.0 Description This episode is a follow-up to our first Gab & Jam episode (https://youtu.be/pqObIeyy5FA ), which nearly a year and a half ago. As we worked on the “research” for this episode, I noticed a common thread with at least half of the artists represented here and that’s they represent some sort of cultural, ethnic, or racial mixture, and for the ones that don’t meet that criteria, there is usually a musical or a genre mix happening. We will try to point out those “mixings” as we share them and their music with you. FYI: Most of the “research” came from Wikipedia (which although is NOT a reliable source, but is the first stop often when trying to understand something or someone). Recommended Tracks (from this episode): 1. Mitski, “Nobody” 2. Meklit, “You Are My Luck” 3. Stromae, “Papaoutai” 4. Cake, “Love You Madly” 5. Tom Morello, “Roadrunner” From last episode (Gab & Jam Episode 42 http://bit.ly/2D8fvAW ): 1. St. Vincent, “Los Ageless” 2. Sufjan Stevens, “Worst Christmas Ever” 3. Kacey Musgraves, “Slow Burn” 4. Dead Letter Circus, “The Armor You Own” 5. Ghost, “Rats” YouTube Playlist: http://bit.ly/2M68ao6 There is NO way we could fit all the juicy information that we discuss in this video description, so you will need to head to the blog post in order to get it all.

This is a black arts and culture site. . . .  1. Kola Adesokan -- Kolamanjaro & his Yoruba Heritage Ensemble is where the classic Yoruba song-meter meets the modern. It is indeed, the crossroad at which yesterday's rhythms intersect with today's sounds to propel the future of cultural arts entertainment forward. It is a bridge that seeks to link Yoruba from the source with others far and widely dispersed around the globe and across the Diaspora. Kola Adesokan, (aka Kolaman or Kolamanjaro) describes his music as Juju-Fusion, a style which he branded Rhythm-N-Groove™ of Afrika, which is another variety of Afro-Beat genre founded by Fela Kuti of Nigeria. Kolamanjaro is a jazzily rhythmic sound whose soul is deeply rooted in authentic Yoruba heritage experience.  2.

(Originally aired April, 2014) It took Meklit Hadero a while to realize she could be a singer, and a while longer to start recording, but man, has she made up the distance. Over the last few years she's released a series of impeccably produced albums showcasing her own craftily written songs as well as some pretty beguiling cover versions, moving seamlessly from jazz to soul to hip-hop, indie rock, folk and even a little country. Her supple, spirited vocals invite comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Nora Jones and Joan Armatrading. But she has a sound all her own, drawing on musical influences in all the aforementioned genres as well as the Ethiopian pop she heard growing up and the North/East African music she's been exposed to in her work on The Nile Project, which she co-founded. Meklit and I surveyed her discography, including her new album We Are Alive, while talking about her life and career, her exuberant approach to performance and the way creativity takes its own good time.

We opened with a prerecorded interview with Nefertina Abrams, Royal House of Makeda Productions, and Melame Gange, ModeAfrika apparel, (first aired 7/2/2014) re: Ubuntu-Faqir Simunye or Pan African Love and Unity Festival on its concluding night, July 4, 2014, 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Humanist Hall on 27th Street, in Oakland. We open with Gange's “African Suns.”  We then play a segment from an interview with Civil Rights Movement architect, Dave Dennis, who is just returning home from a successful 50th Anniversary Conference at Tougaloo College in Mississippi. The goal of the conference was to answer the following questions: What were the lessons learned? How do they apply to today's challenges? What is the next phrase? How will an appropriate response be developed for the next phase? While speaking to Mr. Dennis about the conference and current issues on the stove top boiling over presently like Voter's Rights and Educational Opportunity, especially for black youth as access to higher education still is not either the norm or representative of the majority of black families, Mr. Dennis the first in his family to graduate from high school. 50 years later, I meet students in my classroom who are the first to graduate from high school and college. Next steps obviously include access to college education and programs in place to address the attrition rate among black men. Ironically, the issues around voter's rights are expiring as state's reevaluate residents' rights and make certain residents ineligible or make voter registration difficult and access to the polls another hurdle in society where historic memory is a tragedy of youthful ignorance and social apathy.  Music: selections from Meklit and Quinn and Melik Hadero; the Nile Project: Salaam Nubia from Aswan and Tezete; Melame Gange's African Suns and Dancing Partner.

It took Meklit Hadero a while to realize she could be a singer, and a while longer to start recording, but man, has she made up the distance. Over the last few years she's released a series of impeccably produced albums showcasing her own craftily written songs as well as some pretty beguiling cover versions, moving seamlessly from jazz to soul to hip-hop, indie rock, folk and even a little country. Her supple, spirited vocals invite comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Nora Jones and Joan Armatrading. But she has a sound all her own, drawing on musical influences in all the aforementioned genres as well as the Ethiopian pop she heard growing up and the North/East African music she's been exposed to in her work on The Nile Project, which she co-founded. Meklit and I surveyed her discography, including her new album We Are Alive, while talking about her life and career, her exuberant approach to performance and the way creativity takes its own good time.

Brittany Walsh shot an arrow at David Letterman and he loved it! Her “stupid human trick” was the hit of the night. This week on Ripley Radio, she tells us all about that night and how she hit her target, standing on her hands and shooting the bow with her feet! We also hear about a new revolution in tasting! A company has created an aromafork, a utensil that provides different flavors and smells to your food. The product goes on sale this summer. Additional Weird, Wacky, and Strange Stories on the April 21 episode of Ripley Radio, the official radio program of Ripley’s Believe It or Not!: The apartment where President Barack Obama lived while attending Law School at Columbia University in New York City, is now a Bed and Breakfast and can be rented by the night; hikers going up Mt. Everest must now bring back an additional 17 pounds of trash, or be fined. Angela tells us it’s all a part of a major clean-up of the mountain; Chad Lewis takes us on a couple interesting road trips. First we go to a town in Pennsylvania that has been on fire for more than 50 years, and then to a valley in Missouri where a light mysteriously appears most nights. Nobody has been able to figure out where it comes from or where it goes when approached; Emmy-award winning TV reporter Scott Fais takes us to a swamp where a relative of Florida’s famed skunk ape has been seen; a pizza shop owner hates to see his pizza dipped in Ranch Dressing, so much that he charges $1,000 for anyone who wants some of the condiment; and Edward tells us that Ripley’s Bizarre Buying Bazaar will be at the Believe It or Not! museum in Panama City Beach, Fla., on April 18 and 19. He’ll be there with Ripley’s checkbook looking for oddities of all kinds to add to the Ripley’s archives. Meklit provides this week’s musical egress with Slow.
