The Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology, the Folklore and Ethnomusicology Student Association, and several other departments and organizations on campus are sponsoring an awesome jamfest next week, featuring a wonderful music group from South America. Come on out and join the party!


Free Concert! Wednesday, February 6th. 8 p.m. at the Waldron Arts Center - Rose Firebay Room

Smoldering jazz is kicked up with the intoxicating polyrhythms of coastal Perú as trumpeter and composer Gabriel Alegría continues to chart a fresh new idiom. Combining his own distinctive approach to the jazz trumpet
with the rich heritage of Afro-Peruvian music, Alegría is joined by saxophonist Laurandrea Leguía, guitarist Yuri Juárez, bassist Joscha Oetz, drummer Hugo Alcázar and master percussionist Freddy “Huevito” Lobatón-who plays traditional Afro-Peruvian instruments such as cajón (box drum) and quijada (jaw bone) and adds spectacular passages of zapateo dancing.

The 2008 tour features music from Alegría’s latest recording Nuevo Mundo scheduled for release on January 13, 2008. This landmark recording features guest appearances by some of today’s jazz luminaries such as vocalist
Tierney Sutton, multi-grammy award winning Russell Ferrante, and jazz legends Bill Watrous and Bobby Shew. Alegría’s CD is available exclusively through his web site www.gabrielalegria.com as well as
information regarding the Afro-Peruvian jazz music movement and community.

The School of Social Work at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale will offer a unique Study Abroad course from May 13th to May 24, 2008. The course will take place in Munich, Germany, and surrounding areas.

This course will examine the increasingly important connection of human rights to social work, from both European and US perspectives. Field visits and seminars will focus on both political and social human rights, including democratic concepts of human rights.

Social work today is challenging and dynamic, with human rights playing a key role in developing policies and practices. The course is ideal for any undergraduate or graduate student or professional interested in learning about different approaches to social problems within a human rights context.

The estimated program fee for the course is $2,000, not including airfare. The program fee includes all necessary transportation relating to the course within Germany, accommodation, and some meals. Tuition is additional to the program fee, with three hours of course credit costing about $750 at current tuition rates.

Dr. Elisabeth Reichert, Professor at SIUC and native of Germany, will be conducting the course. Dr. Reichert has published extensively on social work and human rights. One of her books, Understanding Human Rights: An Exercise Book, will serve as a textbook for the course.

This course is also available for students outside of social work.

For further details please contact Dr. Reichert by email at either: Ereich1234@acces4less.net or reichert@siu.edu, or contact Dr. Reichert by telephone at (618) 453-2243 (office).

WHY

The BPP is dedicated to supporting local theatre, and providing avenues for local theatre artists to produce their work.

Bloomington Playwrights Project presents a special Black History Month presentation of One More River to Cross, theatrical portraits of people of African descent in the United States. This performance highlights —through song, dance, poetry, and drama — the black journey from Africa, through slavery, to The Emancipation and Civil Rights Movement. One More River to Cross is co-produced and co-directed by Dr. Gladys DeVane and Dr. James Mumford, retired Indiana University professors.

“This production is about the birth of a new culture, the making of a new community and the contributions of that community our great nation,” says DeVane.

Just a handful of the historical figures profiled in this unique production include Harriet Tubman, Marian Anderson, Louis Armstrong, Paul Robeson & the Fisk Jubilee Singers, among a host of others. DeVane and Mumford intend to provide the audience with a vivid, engrossing and fast-paced experience that celebrates the richness and diversity of African American voices throughout history.

“I believe the arts can and should be used as a medium to bridge the gaps between different realities,” says DeVane. “I believe that performances like One More River to Cross promote better understanding of different world-views, and leads to meaningful dialogue between people who are similar in many ways, yet substantially different in other ways.”

Performances of One More River to Cross are February 1 & 2 at 7:00pm and February 3 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $20 General Admission and $12 Students.
