Episode 410."Eye In The Sky" Movie Composer: Paul Hepker.Paul Hepker is a talented composer whose "Eye In The Sky" remains one of my most favorite movie scores. It is also Alan Rickman's last movie. His other credits include Rendition, Tsotsi and so many more.Born in Zimbabwe and raised in South Africa, Paul Hepker trained as a concert pianist under Adolphe Hallis. He worked as a Musical Director at the National Theatres in Pretoria and Cape Town (The Rocky Horror Show, Joseph) and has performed or recorded with a number of prominent South African and international artists such as Shirley Bassey, Miriam Makeba, Ice Cube and Vusi Mahlasela. He wrote the voter education theme “Make Your Mark” for the first democratic elections in South Africa, which gave birth to a National TV gameshow of the same name. In the mid-1990's he toured the world as a member of Grammy-nominated band Johnny Clegg and Savuka (Juluka) before moving to Los Angeles in 1997 to pursue a career in composing for stage and screen.A long-time member of acclaimed Los Angeles theatre company Circle X, Hepker garnered an Ovation Award, two LA Weekly Awards, and numerous nominations for his work as composer or Musical Director on productions such as Grendel, Laura Comstock's Bag-Punching Dog, and Romeo & Juliet: Antebellum, New Orleans, 1839.In 1999 Hepker was a Finalist in the inaugural John Lennon Songwriting Competition and has had songs featured in, and included on the soundtracks for Eye In The Sky, Tsotsi, Permanent Midnight, Soul Survivor, The Bird Can't Fly and Into The Light.Paul's latest project is Official Secrets (Starring Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, Matt Smith) – his fourth collaboration with director Gavin Hood. Paul also co-composed the music for Tsotsi (which won the 2005 Academy Award for Best Foreign Film), Eye In The Sky (starring Helen Mirren, Alan Rickman) and Rendition (starring Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Meryl Streep). Along with fellow South African composer Mark Kilian, Paul scored The Bird Can't Fly (starring Barbara Hershey). His score for Into the Light – a documentary exploring the AIDS crisis in Tanzania, featured Kenyan singer Ayub Ogada.Paul was series composer on numerous Discovery, History and National Geographic Channel series, including Deadliest Catch, IRT Deadliest Roads,  Crash Files, Impact, America's Deadliest Season, Into the Firestorm, Raw Nature, Iditarod, Herrings – all for Original Productions – and Shark Taggers (NBC).Paul returned to South Africa in mid-2012, where he has been involved in music production (Ard Matthews), writing music for commercials (Nedbank Private Wealth, OUTSurance, Spar, Nissan, Serengeti Beer)  and film-scoring: he recently composed the music for Kite (starring Samuel L. Jackson) and Shepherds and Butchers (directed by Oliver Shmitz and starring Steve Coogan) both for visionary South African producer Anant Singh.Welcome the awesome, Paul Hepker.Monday Morning Critic: Instagram, TiKTok, YouTube and Facebook.www.imdb.com/title/tt12597724/www.mmcpodcast.com

L'artiste ivoirienne Dobet Gnahoré revient avec un 6ème album Couleur sorti chez Cumbancha. Enregistré en Afrique durant la pandémie, Couleur célèbre les divers talents africains, ainsi que la cause des femmes, la créativité et la positivité. Dobet Gnahoré, star africaine et lauréate d'un GRAMMY en 2010, est connue pour ses chorégraphies à couper le souffle, sa présence scénique et ses interprétations riches en émotions. Avec ce nouvel album Couleur, l'artiste rompt avec la tradition acoustique qu'elle affectionnait jusqu'à présent et se plonge dans les sons afropop modernes de son pays. Avec une sortie internationale prévue le 4 juin 2021, l'album marque aussi le retour de Dobet Gnahoré sur le label Cumbancha, qui avait sorti son album Na Afriki en 2007. Originaire de Côte d'Ivoire, et alors qu'elle vit en France depuis de nombreuses années. Dobet décide début 2020 de revenir s'installer en Afrique, alors que la pandémie du Covid-19 entraîne des confinements à travers toute l'Europe marquant l'arrêt brutal des tournées et des activités live. De retour dans son pays natal, elle renoue rapidement avec la florissante scène musicale locale et commence à travailler avec des producteurs, musiciens, designers et artistes talentueux de la scène underground. Elle s'imprègne de l'inspiration et de l'énergie d'une Afrique en plein essor. Le résultat est un album rempli de messages d'optimisme destinés aux femmes, d'espoir pour un avenir meilleur, marquant une rupture significative avec ses albums précédents, plus acoustiques et introspectifs. Ayant grandi au sein de la communauté́ d'artistes KiYi Mbock, une compagnie de théâtre africaine de renommée mondiale, Dobet Gnahoré baigne dans l'art et créativité dès sa naissance. À 12 ans, elle déclare à son père, Boni Gnahoré, musicien et interprète très connu en Côte d'Ivoire, qu'elle ne retournera pas à l'école, préférant consacrer son temps à la musique et à la danse. En 1996, Dobet Gnahoré rencontre le guitariste français Colin Laroche de Féline. Ils décident de s'installer en France pour former le groupe Ano Neko. Ils vont enregistrer et se produire en concert à travers le monde durant deux décennies. La participation de Gnahoré à plusieurs tournées d'Acoustic Africa aux côtes notamment du guitariste malien Habib Koité, de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète sud-africain Vusi Mahlasela la font connaître d'un plus large public. En 2010, elle acquiert une renommée plus importante encore, quand sa collaboration avec la chanteuse américaine India.Arie lui vaut un GRAMMY pour la meilleure performance urbaine / alternative sur le titre Pearls. Le premier single l'album, Lève-toi, est une collaboration avec la star ivoirienne du zouglou, Yabongo Lova. La chanson est un message à tous ceux qui traversent une période difficile. "Même dans tes moments de galère, relève-toi", chante Gnahoré comme pour nous encourager face à l'adversité.  Sur le titre Yakané, elle chante "Les filles d'aujourd'hui sont les femmes fortes de demain. Elle sait qu'elle a sa place dans ce monde dominé par les hommes. Elle s'est armée de toute sa volonté́ pour se créer un avenir. Elle n'a pas peur du défi. Elle aussi veut réussir, c'est son droit."  Dans Ma Maison, Dobet Gnahoré souligne l'importance de la force et de l'amour au sein de la famille ; dans le refrain, elle chante : "Chez moi, la joie et l'amour règnent en maître." La vidéo, réalisée par le producteur ivoirien Steven Awuku, offre une version colorée de sa maison dans laquelle Gnahoré danse dans des tenues aux motifs lumineux donnant un air électrique et enjoué à l'ensemble. La chanson la plus introspective de l'album de Dobet, Rédemption, éclaire sa facette d'auteure-compositrice-interprète avec cet appel lancé à Dieu pour l'aider à se repentir de ses péchés. "Je me suis blessée et j'ai blessé les autres. Je viens à vous pour demander ma rédemption," implore-t-elle tandis qu'elle laisse entrevoir ses tourments intérieurs. Couleur, le sixième album de Dobet Gnahoré, l'un des talents les plus prometteurs d'Afrique, est par ailleurs enjoué et rempli de grooves électro entraînants et de mélodies accrocheuses. Il reflète l'énergie urbaine de l'Afrique moderne et l'esprit déterminé d'une artiste indépendante qui envisage son avenir avec force et optimisme.   Titres de Dobet Gnahoré, extraits de l'album Couleur Désert Zalighéhi Lève-toi, voir le clip  Woman     Puis nous recevons Pat Kalla dans la #Session Live pour la sortie du nouvel album du Super Mojo Hymne à la Vie chez Pura Vita Sounds / Heavenly Sweetness. Inspecter l'emballage sous toutes les coutures ne sert à rien, la composition précise n'y est nulle part mentionnée. Ni liste d'ingrédients, ni pourcentage, ni grammage. Juste une mention “Fabriqué à partir d'éléments musicaux naturels récoltés en Afrique et en Amérique du Sud”. Pourtant, à travers son cartonnage, le Super Mojo rayonne des pouvoirs à la fois mystiques et surnaturels qu'on lui attribue ! Élaboré par Pat Kalla, la voix de Voilààà, le Super Mojo est un philtre musical alliant les vertus bienfaitrices du highlife, de l'afrobeat ou de la cumbia, qu'il associe à la puissance du funk, à la suavité de la soul et à la force hautement dansante des synthés de l'afro-disco. Concentré de références, il mixe culture africaine et chanson française pour redonner vie aux jambes les plus ankylosées. Le Super Mojo rend aux danseurs la vitalité perdue ! Elixir miracle aux mille et une propriétés, ses bienfaits de jouvence ne sont plus à démontrer. Pourquoi ? Parce que Pat Kalla est aussi conteur ! Habile dans le maniement de la langue, il n'a pas son pareil pour révéler l'essence même des émotions. Le Super Mojo réchauffe le cœur et le libère de tout ce qui l'encombre ! Prodigieusement sarcastique, son goût prononcé pour l'humour, l'imagé et le second degré en font un produit garanti sans aucune confrontation, ni attaque frontale destructrice. Le Super Mojo réveille les consciences ! Le Super Mojo, c'est la respiration organique d'instruments trop longtemps restés confinés dans leurs housses. Des basses qui ronflent, des claviers et des cuivres qui balisent la route vers les pistes de danse qui s'ouvrent dans chacun des morceaux. C'est un imaginaire poétique, c'est le partage qui devient la règle. Des portes qui deviennent impossibles à fermer, l'intérieur et l'extérieur qui troquent, échangent et donnent. Conditionné en format quatorze titres par Guts, il renferme en lui la science de l'arrangement et l'expérience du studio distillées par le dj-producteur-beatmaker. C'est de la chaleur qui se répand, des sourires qui s'affichent, des couleurs qui éclatent. Le Super Mojo, c'est un HYMNE À LA VIE.     Titres de Pat Kalla Live ou extrait de l'album Hymne à la vie Qui t'a fait ça ?  Live RFI La vie c'est joli  (Feat David Walters) extrait de l'album Hymne à la Vie Sabrina Live RFI Fierté de Papa Live RFI Son Mathias Taylor & Benoît Letirant

Vusi Mahlasela is one of South Africa’s most celebrated musicians and cultural activists. Writer Nadine Gordimer, dubbed him ‘the voice’ of South Africa. He has performed in front of Kings and Queens around the world, but it’s his beloved hometown Mamelodi, which brings a song to his heart. Nikiwe Bikitsha met him there and has this face to face with success….

Conrad Jamneck is ’n pedigree-paartie-scientist: as die lead-singer van The Fake Leather Blues Band, een van die main organizers van die STRAB festival in Mozambique, Casper de Vries se klankman en ’n mens met baie goue stories.Hulle gesels oor Conrad se legendariese pa en ma: oom Jammies en tannie Gerrie Jamneck, sy utopiese kinderdae op Badplaas buite Carolina, die move na Silverton en sy skooldae.Willim tap ook in die psyche van Conrad se alter-ego: Mr. Ooogaboooga Man. En hoe dit soms ’n groot fout kan wees om “net gou vinnig vir die Akkedisboeties te gaan baai sê voor jy moet terug vlieg Noorde toe” en eye-eye conversations met Francois van Coke.Daar is baie mooi stories oor humble ooms soos Sias Reyneke, Ollie Viljoen, Lance James, Vusi Mahlasela en natuurlik oom Jammies Jamneck.RIP oom Jammies.Vhmusic.co.za is nou live!

Libby Purves is joined by journalist Angela Rippon, photographer & filmmaker Jim Lee, musician Vusi Mahlasela, and Marian Partington, whose sister was a victim of Frederick and Rosemary West. Journalist Angela Rippon features in the Channel 5 series, 'War Hero in My Family', where celebrities trace the stories of their relatives contributions during times of war. Angela didn't meet her father John until she was three years old, because he'd spent World War Two serving with the Royal Marines. As she grew up, he told her funny stories of life at sea, but rarely about the harsh realities of war and now Angela goes in search of what his war was really like. 'War Hero in My Family' is on Channel 5. Jim Lee is a fashion photographer and film maker. He photographed the Rolling Stones and the Beatles and collaborated with Ossie Clark, Versace and Yves St Laurent. He is the subject of a book entitled 'Arrested' - written by Peter York and there is also an exhibition of Jim's work at Somerset House in London. 'Arrested' by Peter York is published by Ammonite Press. Marian Partington's sister Lucy went missing in December 1973. Over twenty years later in 1994, Marian learned that her sister's remains had been discovered at No. 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, the home of serial killers Frederick and Rosemary West. In her book, 'If You Sit Very Still', she explores the territory of traumatic loss, and the restoration of the human spirit. She now works in prisons to raise awareness about restorative justice, working with the Forgiveness Project. 'If You Sit Very Still' is published by Vala Publishing Co-operative. Vusi Mahlasela is a South African singer-songwriter, poet and activist. His music, generally described as "African folk", was an inspiration to many in the anti-apartheid movement with themes including the struggle for freedom, forgiveness and reconciliation. His new album, 'Say Africa' includes a tribute to his maternal great, great, great grandfather, the prophet/healer Mokalanyane, who some believed had the gift of making rain. Producer: Annette Wells.
