In my African Latin Music mix, I will lean heavily on an outstanding musician from this music genre, Pape Fall. He blew my ears apart when I first heard his music and his name resonates deeply within the world of African and Latin music. Pape Fall is a Senegalese musician, singer, and saxophonist, Fall has spent decades crafting a unique blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms with traditional Senegalese melodies with Latin influences. As the founder of the renowned band African Salsa, he has left an indelible mark on the global music scene, carrying the rich musical traditions of his homeland onto international stages. As the founder of African Salsa, he has brought his vibrant sound to audiences worldwide, blending the rich musical traditions of Senegal with Latin influences. A Journey Through Music Born in Dakar in 1947, Fall began his musical career in 1966 with Dakar Rhythm before joining the legendary Star Band in the 1970s. In 1976, he formed African Salsa, a group that quickly gained popularity for its infectious energy and innovative fusion of styles. Their first major international release, Artisanat, showcased Fall's exceptional talent on the saxophone and vocals, earning him recognition as a pioneer of African salsa. Beyond African Salsa, Fall played a key role in other influential groups, including Nder de Dakar and Kassé Star. His career has spanned over 20 albums and extensive tours across Africa, Europe, and the U.S., spreading the rhythms of African salsa to global audiences. The Sound of African Salsa Fall's music is a masterful blend of Senegalese mbalax and Cuban salsa, featuring intricate percussion, dynamic brass sections, and rhythmic complexity. His lyrics, sung in Wolof and French, explore themes of love, culture, and social issues, resonating with fans across generations. A Lasting Legacy With a career spanning nearly six decades, Pape Fall remains a celebrated figure in African music. His contributions continue to inspire musicians and preserve the legacy of African salsa, ensuring its influence endures for years to come.  Info Website - www.jazzmattersuk.com Supporting Blog - https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/blogs/jazz-matters-digs-african-latin For all social media links and more visit my Linkhub. https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/linkhub Jazz Matters Info - https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/about Email - jazzmattersuk@mail.com Info about me - https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/introducing-jazz-matters/introducing-ray #OnDemand #FreeToStream https://pod.co/nudirections  Stream in and enjoy the Music I love.

La Wolof Académie, nouvelle tendance pour l'apprentissage des langues via des applications

C'est une tendance qui se développe de plus en plus : l'apprentissage des langues via des applications dédiées. La Wolof Académie s'inscrit dans ce mouvement, avec des cours en visioconférence et un site qui propose des cours en ligne de wolof, la langue parlée au Sénégal par près de 80% de la population. Avec ou sans professeur, les apprenants ont le choix de la formation à laquelle ils souhaitent s'inscrire. Fondée en 2021, la Wolof Académie est née d'un besoin de sa fondatrice de communiquer, de mieux s'intégrer socialement et professionnellement au Sénégal, ou encore de renforcer les liens avec leurs proches pour les binationaux ne vivant pas au Sénégal.  Il est 20 heures. C'est le début du cours à distance pour un groupe de trois élèves inscrites à la Wolof Académie. Il y a Mossana, Céline et Isabelle, qui vient de se connecter. Elles en sont à leur 16e cours avec leur professeur Karim.« Carole n'est pas encore là. On va quand même commencer. La dernière fois, on a vu le verbe ''être'' dans différents contextes. De toute façon, on va faire les exercices et on va y revenir. On fait un cours de révision aujourd'hui. Chaque cinq cours, on fait une révision. Quelles sont les dernières leçons qu'on a vues ? Vous pouvez me faire un petit rappel ? », enchaîne le professeur attentif.« J'ai ressenti le besoin de parler de wolof de manière vraiment fluide »Pendant que les élèves révisent les cinq derniers cours, Amy Cissé, Franco-Sénégalaise et fondatrice de la Wolof Académie, revient sur les raisons de sa création, il y a quatre ans de cela :« C'est lorsque je suis partie vivre et travailler au Sénégal que j'ai ressenti le besoin de parler le wolof de manière vraiment fluide et couramment. J'ai développé une méthode d'apprentissage unique pour me permettre vraiment de parler la langue couramment et surtout rapidement. En France, je connaissais déjà beaucoup de Français d'origine sénégalaise qui présentaient également le besoin de parler wolof, mais qui n'y arrivaient pas. J'ai décidé vraiment de transcrire ma méthode d'apprentissage que j'ai créée moi-même par mon expérience dans la structure que j'ai développée. »À lire aussiQuand le wolof cohabite avec le françaisDes apprenants de toutes nationalitésLe profil des apprenants va des Français d'origine sénégalaise à des personnes de toute nationalité qui ont de bonnes raisons d'apprendre le wolof, comme Isabelle, Céline et Mossana.« Mon mari est Sénégalais, c'est une bonne motivation. Je travaille et j'habite au Sénégal actuellement aussi. Je capte beaucoup de choses, mais j'aimerais pouvoir vraiment mieux échanger avec les bénéficiaires avec lesquels je travaille, en langue locale, et avec ma belle famille aussi », confie Isabelle.« En ce qui me concerne, j'ai vécu sept ans à Dakar et j'y ai tissé des liens. J'ai toujours des amis là-bas et donc, j'ai plaisir à y retourner quand c'est le cas, et à parler wolof. Et puis, on est vraiment au cœur de la culture », poursuit Céline.« Je suis Sénégalaise de par mon père. Et donc, même si je n'allais pas au Sénégal, j'aimerais bien pouvoir discuter avec ma famille », ajoute Mossana.La Wolof Académie propose différentes formules en ligne avec ou sans professeur, à des tarifs variant entre 300 et 700 euros.À lire aussiFrancophonie en Afrique: au Sénégal, le wolof monte en puissance face au français [4/5]

Depuis le 27 juin, le moteur de traduction de Google a intégré 110 nouvelles langues dont une trentaine de langues africaines. Parmi elles, le wolof. Au Sénégal, la communauté qui travaille sur les IA de traduction observe ce développement avec enthousiasme, et les start-ups qui développaient déjà des outils similaires cherchent à se positionner pour faire face à la concurrence. L'arrivée du wolof sur Google traduction pourrait faciliter la vie de nombreux Sénégalais. À la fois dans leur quotidien, mais aussi dans leurs activités économiques. « Il y a des gens qui ne comprennent que le wolof, qui ne savent lire et écrire qu'en wolof. Ici, la justice se fait en français et donc les gens qui ne le parlent pas couramment peuvent bénéficier de ce traducteur pour les démarches administratives. Les commerçants et les touristes pourront aussi communiquer plus facilement »,explique Mouhamadane Mboup, ingénieur data analyste.Peu de données en wolofMouhamadane fait partie d'une communauté de chercheurs spécialisés en intelligence artificielle au Sénégal, galsenAI. Pour ses confrères et lui, c'est aussi une bonne nouvelle, car ils auront accès à une base de données supplémentaires pour leurs travaux. « Le wolof, comme la plupart des langues africaines, est une langue à faible ressource. Il existe très peu de données d'entraînement et de système de traduction, poursuit Derguene Mbaye cofondateur de GalsenAI. Si demain, on souhaite expérimenter sur une tâche sur laquelle il n'y a pas de données en wolof, on peut prendre ces données dans une autre langue, traduire et ainsi faire nos expérimentations. »Concurrence pour les start-ups techMais l'arrivée du géant Google vient également concurrencer un écosystème de start-ups de la tech sénégalaises qui travaillaient déjà sur la traduction du wolof. La société Baamtu développe depuis six ans Tekkilma, son outil de traduction. Ils veulent se distinguer de Google en offrant des services plus spécialisés. Derguene Mbaye est également ingénieur de recherche chez Baamtu : « On compte vraiment débusquer les niches que Google ne va pas adresser sur la traduction dans des domaines spécifiques comme les domaines professionnels ou légaux. Il y a également les problématiques liées à la voix. On sait que les langues africaines sont principalement "parlées" donc on travaille depuis plusieurs années sur le développement d'outils vocaux comme la synthèse vocale ou la reconnaissance vocale. Ce seront des plus-values supplémentaires. »Baamtu travaille avec des ministères sénégalais, des banques et le fait d'être une entreprise locale peut leur permettre de tirer leur épingle du jeu. « On connaît bien le marché et le contexte. C'est quelque chose qui va rassurer des clients d'avoir une société à proximité plutôt qu'un géant très éloigné de leurs préoccupations », explique Tanor Dieng, directeur de produit.Mouhamadane Mboup soulève un dernier risque : la standardisation de la langue wolof sur Google, pour mieux s'adapter à son modèle de traduction.À lire aussiComment Google Traduction tente d'intégrer de nouvelles langues africaines grâce à l'IA

From the 1970s to the present—hip-hop and Afrobeats notwithstanding—the most beloved and popular music in Senegal has been and remains mbalax. Mbalax grew out of a scene where urban bands Dakar bands like the Star Band and Orchestra Baobab were experimenting with Afro-Cuban music, funk and other foreign styles, blending and mixing them with local traditions. Perhaps inevitably, Wolof sabar drumming entered the mix in a big way, and mbalax was born. Sabar drums, played with one stick and one hand, deliver complex, cracking rhythms that are the backbone of this dynamic genre. This Hip Deep program traces the emergence and development of mbalax with insights from ethnomusicologist Patricia Tang, author of Masters of the Sabar. Produced by Simon Rentner.

#159 Don't be Scared - Nafy Flatley, Teranga

Back in May, 2020, we interviewed Nafy Flatley founder of Teranga Foods; the show was released in July, 2020. In this episode, Sarah Masoni talks with Nafy to see what's changed in her business since then. As a refresher, Teranga literally means hospitality in Wolof, the Senegalese national language. It is the spirit of camaraderie and acceptance of one another. Nafy's favorite childhood memory is of her grandmother using baobab fruit to make refreshing, invigorating and nutritious beverages. She and her mother continued the tradition after her passing and when the family moved to the US Nafy wanted to bring the flavors of her childhood with her. Baobab is special because the Baobob tree, also known as the tree of life, grows throughout most of Africa and is an essential part of African cuisine and culture. In Senegal, baobab is a natural remedy for many ailments. It has more Vitamin C than oranges, more magnesium than kale, more potassium than bananas, more calcium than milk and is high in soluble fiber. It's a superfood, and it's in most of Teranga's products. Teranga offers snacks, drinks and hot sauces in their line, all natural and wholesome. Beside the online business, Teranga's products are now available in 17 San Francisco Bay Area farmers markets, cafes and grocery stores. COVID of course pushed sales to online during the lockdown, but even as guidelines loosened up and grocery stores did more volume, Nafy sought new distribution channels for her products. In the Bay Area, you can now buy her foods through Ubereats, and she is a big proponent of Good Eggs, an online platform born out of the COVID lockdown. Her push for sales has also resulted in her most distant delivery - to China. A previous customer was putting on a conference in China and wanted some Teranga products for the swag bag. Getting the products into the country turned out to be a struggle but resulted in many orders later from the US attendees upon their return home. Another big change since the last show was the opening of a restaurant in the Municipal Market in San Francisco's Tenderloin area. The market is owned entirely by Women immigrants from half a dozen countries, so Nafy fits right in. Not to be overlooked are all the recipes Nafy offers on her website, healthy, nutritious and delicious. She also has contributed to a nonprofit cookbook with recipes, including the last meal she made in Senegal before immigrating to the US. Her business is growing and thriving and her words of wisdom are, “…share that passion with the world, don't be scared. Go for it, make your delicious sample and then take it to whomever…”. That's an attitude you can take to the bank. Visit her website: https://www.terangafoods.com/. Follow her on: IG @terangafoods FB@terangalife.

Episode 165: Narrative Subversions: “Unnatural” Narration and an Ethics of Engagement in the Work of Mahi Binebine   In this podcast, Doyle Calhoun presents a work related to his first book project, The Suicide Archive: Reading Resistance in the Wake of French Empire—which concludes with a chapter on suicide bombing, focused on Moroccan writer and artist Mahi Binebine's (b. 1959) novel Les Étoiles de Sidi Moumen (2010)—and a second book project, Narrative Subversions: Strange Voices in Francophone Fiction, which explores unconventional narrative configurations and includes a chapter on narrative techniques in Binebine's work.   Doyle Calhoun is currently Assistant Professor of Language and Culture Studies (postcolonial Francophone studies) at Trinity College in Connecticut. He received his Ph.D. in French from Yale University, where he was an affiliate of the Yale Council on African Studies. Prior to Yale, he completed a Masters in linguistics at KU Leuven, in Belgium, where he was also a Fulbright Research Grantee.   Calhoun's research and teaching focus on the literatures and cinemas of Africa and the Caribbean, especially Senegalese literature in French and Wolof. Working at the intersection of literary criticism, history, media studies, and decolonial theory, Calhoun shows how aesthetic forms provide alternatives to dominant colonial and postcolonial scripts. Calhoun has published over a dozen articles, in journals such as Research in African Literatures, French Studies, and Nineteenth-Century French Studies, and his work is forthcoming from PMLA. His public-facing writing has appeared in Public Books and the Sydney Review of Books. In 2021, he received the Ralph Cohen Prize from New Literary History for the best essay by an untenured scholar. His first book project, The Suicide Archive: Reading Resistance in the Wake of French Empire, turns the difficult topic of suicidal resistance into one worthy of analysis, attention, and interpretation. Beginning in the eighteenth century and working through the twenty-first century, from the time of slavery to the so-called Arab Spring, The Suicide Archive covers a broad geography that stretches from Guadeloupe and Martinique to Senegal, Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, and draws on an expansive corpus of literature, film, oral history, and archival materials to plot a long history of suicide as a political language in extremis.   This episode was recorded on July 28th, 2022 at the Tangier American Legation Institute for Moroccan Studies (TALIM).    Recorded and edited in Tangier, by: Abdelbaar Mounadi Idrissi, Outreach Coordinator, TALIM.   Posted by Hayet Lansari, Librarian, Outreach Coordinator, Content Curator (CEMA).

We talk about some basic grammar points, formalities and honorifics in Wolof.

Boubacar Boris Diop is the author of Murambi: The Book of Bones, (Indiana UP, 2016; translated by Fiona McLaughlin), an unforgettable novel of the Rwandan genocide that blends journalistic research with finely drawn characterizations of perpetrators, victims, and bystanders. In this episode, Mr. Diop reads from Murambi, translated from French by Fiona McLaughlin, and speaks to Duke professor Sarah Quesada and host Aarthi Vadde about how his work on the novel spurred him to rethink his language of composition. Mr. Diop wrote his first five novels in French, but after Murambi, shifted to Wolof, the most widely spoken language in his home country of Senegal. Asked to describe the difference between writing in French and writing in Wolof, Mr. Diop sums it up memorably: “When I start writing in French, I shut the door; I shut the window…I don't hear the words I'm writing. When I write in Wolof, I hear every word.” Sarah and Mr. Diop discuss whether translation can be an ally to a Wolof worldview or whether the sounds that Mr. Diop hears through his window will inevitably be lost to readers who encounter his Wolof novels in English or French. Their dialogue suggests that, while Wolof represents a form of linguistic emancipation from the legacy of a French colonial education, there is also discovery and freedom in raising the literary profile of Wolof for an international audience. Mr. Diop's Doomi Golo: The Hidden Notebooks is the first Wolof novel to be translated into English and an excerpt from his second Wolof novel Bàmmeelu Kocc Barma is available in translation here. In response to our signature question of the season, Mr. Diop proposes that the Wolof word “keroog” is very difficult to translate but not impossible. And it spurs an impromptu comparison to the Spanish word “ahorita,” which like “keroog,” blurs the distinctions between present, past, and future. In an episode about personal and political memory, nothing could be more fitting! Mentioned in this episode: --Toni Morrison --Gabriel Garcia Marquez --Mario Vargas Llosa --Ernesto Sábato --Léopold Sédar Senghor --Doomi Golo: The Hidden Notebooks --Les Petits de la guenon (French Translation of Doomi Golo) --Bàmmeelu Kocc Barma – literally translated as Kocc Barma's Grave (Diop's second Wolof novel) --Malaanum Lëndëm – Diop's third Wolof novel --Alice Chaudemanche (French translator of Malaanum Lëndëm) --Pierre Nora – French historian --Marianne Hirsch --“Sites mémoriaux du génocide” – memorial sites of genocide (term used by UNESCO that qualify as heritage sites.) --Rwandan term – “ejo” (similar to keroog) from the language: Kinyarwanda Find out more about Novel Dialogue and its hosts and organizers here.
