Growing Into Music
United Kingdom
Приєднався 27 гру 2020
This channel showcases the prize-winning AHRC-funded Beyond Text project Growing into Music (2009-2012), which looks at children learning and making music amongst: Mande jeli musicians of Mali and Guinea; Langa and Manganiyar folk musicians of Rajasthan; musicians and dancers of North Indian art music; ashiq bards and mugham musicians of Azerbaijan; rumba and Afro-Cuban religious musicians of Cuba; the Música llanera musicians of Venezuela.
We have filmed the same children ‘growing into music’ over two and a half years, having made three fieldwork trips to each country.
Little has been written about the processes of childhood music acquisition in the oral traditions of non-European cultures, and Growing into Music arose in response to a pressing need to study these processes before they are overwhelmed by the institutionalisation of music-teaching and globalisation.
The project has also resulted in a follow-on project forging musical links between Mali and Cuba (www.mali-cuba.com).

Do Farala a Kan: Something has been added
This film looks in more detail at ideas around what constitutes musical progress. Our guide in the film is Lassana Diabaté, a virtuoso jeli (griot) who comes from a long line of balafon players in Guinea, now living in Bamako. We follow the musical progress of children in two prestigious extended families of jelis, representing two distinctive regional traditions: the balafon (xylophone) of Niagassola across the border in Guinea, and the ngoni (lute) of Segou.
Chapter 1 spends time with the families of El Hadj Sekou Kouyaté, the custodian of the Sosso Bala, declared a UNESCO Masterpiece of Intangible Oral Heritage in 2001, and reportedly dating from the time of the founding of the Mali Empire in the early 13th century AD. El Hadj Kouyaté’s son Fantamady, like many balafon players, is an expert guitarist; while another son, Janguiné, is a singer. Both are settled in Bamako where they have busy careers as musicians, and both are concerned to pass on the tradition of balafon to their young children, who show a special interest in learning, but there are many distractions and talent is not always the key to progress. A visit to Niagassola by three of the Kouyaté grandsons highlights some of the tensions between town and country living, but their pride in their special connections to the Sosso Bala shines through.
Chapter 2 visits the extended family of Bassekou Kouyaté, innovative and virtuoso player of the ngoni, whose international success has given him another perspective on his Bamana tradition from Segou. Although the ngoni plays a central role in the lives of this family, the focus is on how the many Kouyaté girls, aged four upwards, learn the art of song and dance, in both Bamako and Garana, a village in Segou province where Bassekou grew up and where most of his family still live. In Garana, we watch the girls learning to sing such major pieces from the Bamana repertoire as Da Monzon, and see them play at the vibrant handclapping songs, the tegere tulon, that are fast disappearing, and were once a major creative force in the lives of Mali’s musicians.

I loved this documentary! Thank you so much for this! I've been trying to get into mugham music lately, but haven't found many resources in English. Would you know of any other resources (books, other documentaries, etc.) that also talk about mugham and/or ashiq music? Thanks!
Would you mind to ask the author, Sanubar Bagirova, on FB?
Would love to see some of the performance material as separate videos
