Group Rhoda is a solo project from San Francisco. It is an attempt at dealing with opposition, sharpening intuition, following instincts and turning ideas into actions. It exists under the influence of repetition, bad habits, fear, machines of decades past, the tropics, transient sounds, hazy recollections, light, color, the desolate worlds around me and the spaces that are quieted from social noise. It is an effort to negate the sound of safety, control, wastefulness, weak mirroring, transparent shadowing and follow a path reflective of my own fabricated inner environment and imagination.

Vinilija @ Radio Marš 30.9.2012: 17 Macedonian Folk Dances


17 MACEDONIAN FOLK DANCES
Exciting rhythm of Macedonia played on traditional instruments
by the "Macedonian Early Music Band" of the "Živko Firfov" folkdance group
musical notation & dance instructions included

A1 Sandansko oro
A2 Baba Georgia
A3 Paedushka

B5 Sadila mome
B6 Paedushka
B7 Rada pere
B8 Klanyarka
B9 Kumanovsko



Macedonia, a country little heard of since Alexander the Great, is now becoming famous again by its unique folklore.

Side A & B features the exciting Macedonian bagpipe, solo & combination with Kaval (shepard's flute), Tamburas (long-necked lutes), Grneta (Clarinet), Tarabuka and Tapan (drums)... all original folk instruments.

This Band's exciting music surprised & delighted the people of Macedonia. They were much acclaimed at the Macedonian Ethnic Festival, towns & villages for their lively playing while reamining true to tradition, in August 1978.

The Band also played & danced in the "Živko Firfov" folkdance group all over England and Macedonia.

Before disbanding, due to emigration of vital musicians (2 forming, with 2 legendary Macedonians, the fantastic Orkestar Groupa "Pečhalbari") the Band recorded a fraction of their music on tape in November 1978, from which this wonderful & exhilarating LP record was made.

Vinilija @ Radio Marš: Tamikrest - Toumastin



Introduction
by Andy Morgan
Cry beloved Sahara! The Sahara desert is in turmoil. Those old unshakeable scourges of under-development, corruption, marginalisation, drought, desertification and unemployment have been reinforced and even over-shadowed by the intertwinining furies of islamic terrorism, rampant mineral exploitation, drug smuggling and people trafficking. As a result, to coin one of Hunter S. Thompson's phrases, the Sahara has undergone a 'hardening of the arteries'. The Touareg, or Kel Tamashek, as they prefer call to themselves, seem less in command of their own territory and destiny than at any time since the arrival of the French army in the late 19th century. Terrorism has closed the desert's doors to outsiders. Tourism, once one of the most important conduits for enterprise and employment in the region, has collapsed. Floods, droughts and conflict have killed people and livestock. Unemployment is the norm rather than the exception. The future looks bleak, sometimes even hopeless.

But hopelessness is a luxury, which the Touareg know they cannot afford. When it comes to your family, your friends, your community, your camp, your village and your beloved homeland, you cannot give up hope. So life persists in the desert, tenacious in its grip on the dusty soil and relentless in its desire for freedom, self-government, development, peace and stability. Why is Assouf... longing, homesickness...one of the words you'll hear most often in the lyrics of Tamirest and most other modern Tamashek 'guitar' bands? Why this indestructible longing for such a seemingly arid, harsh and frobidding landscape? Because this desert is home, and because when there's peace and stability, it's one of the easiest places in the world to feel free. The Touareg know that only too well.

Tamikrest are a yound band but their songs are old. I don't mean that they were written long ago. No, all these songs are freshly composed, each with its eloquent and powerful message or sentiment. I mean that the struggle of the Touareg itself is old and Tamikrest's songs are but the latest expression of that struggle. But struggle is not all they express. There's love there too: love of a woman, love of a village, love of a culture and love of nature. Love is the oldest theme of all, and it keeps hope alive. Tamikrest are here to confront, once more, the question that should never be without a clear and unifying answer: „What are we fighting for?“ The answer is in every note and word of these ten songs: for this earth, these endless horizons, this freedom, this love. For this people, my people... Toumastin.

Statement!
By Ousmane Ag Mossa

To the Touareg youth:
We must all recognize that we belong to a community and a culture, and that this culture is our strength in the eyes of others.

The Touareg youth must pay attention to their homeland 'Azawad' and to the towns, villages and camps in which the real Touareg live. The development of this territory and these settlements is a personal and collective duty for all of us. No one will work for the preservation of our land if we do not do it ourselves. As proof, you only need to consider the fifty years during which these nation states have been harbouring us, and then take a look at the conditions in which we live and the state of abandon in which our people and our lands find themselves today. It's a situation that can only rend any heart that lover our people in two.

We all have a duty to our people. That duty is to preserve our culture and our identity, to ceaselessly demand our basic rights at both a regional and international level, and to emphasize our right to self-determination, without which it will be difficult for us to deal with all problems that we face.

To the world:
The international community must not turn a deaf ear to the possible disappearance of people like ours, the Touareg, which would be an immense loss to all humanity. The world today sees the suffering of the Touareg, but few are the voices that speak out, or the ears that listen to our people who burn inside with the suffering of entire generations for more than half a century, thanks to the Balkanisation of their lands by nation states that they do not recognize, states which persue a policy of discrimination against our people with the aim of wiping them out. The living conditions of people in the Sahara, who are poorer than ever, bears witness to this.

The world must listen to the Touareg heart and help them to realise their vision, which is none other than the following: The Touareg demand that the injustice of which they are all victims ceases forthwith, that what is ours by right be restored to us, that's to say, our lands and the power to determine our own destiny. The Touareg want to live in freedom in their homeland and end of this form of colonisation, which has prevailed since fifty years, in other words, for far too long.

A1 TIZARAT improvisation instrumentale

A2 FASSOUS TARAHNET – HER PRESTIGOUS LOVE
Her innocent love is the wish
My heart has been seeking forever to fulfill
The earth is turning and i cross it like an illusion
Hoping to preserve my love for a long time
So that it's not just a passing story.
Take care of our love, the treasure of my soul,
Since yours has become like a plant
That nourishes my heart.

A3 NAK AMADJAR NIDOUNIA – ME, THE STRANGER TO LIFE
„From this world, to whom I owe my existence,
My days will reach their end“
I'm just a passanger of life
Which, as it come, will also take its leave
My soul and heart know it, and I also believe
That I was not created to be eternal
My life is made of illusions,
In which my sadness overwhelms my joy
My heart never ceases to express
The evil i have known, which my people have lived.

A4 ARATAN N TINARIWEN – HEIR OF THE DESERT
We, sons of desert
Who live in drought
This empty space
Where thirst and wind hold sway
Bare of shade and water
But full of liberty
It's the country of antelopes
And nature's beatiful beasts

A5 AYITMA MADJAM – WHERE ARE YOU MY BROTHERS?
Where are you my brothers?
Let us demand our dreams, all of us, in good faith
So that we can reach our goal.
Brothers, why do you wait and why all this patience
With all the problems that never cease to accumulate.
We see our sisters who have endured misery
Never losing hope despite their oppression.
Our lands are divided,
Other countries been founded on them
With their well traced frontiers
My people are divided, marginalised,
And become like strangers in their own land
Knowing that they are dispossed and without any authority.

A6 AIDJAN ADAKY – ALL THINGS MUST PASS
All things must pass
And something else will take its place
Nothing in life is eternal
Its joy often follows its pain
And life will give its all to he who knows himself!
So whatever you have experienced, stay vigilant
Do not trust it. Expect further tribulations.
I've attempted so much
And thought of doing so much more
Just to make the dream of my soul come true,
But the again, well I know
That nothing is done
Unless it is the will of God.

B1 ADDEKTEGH - improvisation instrumentale

B2 TARHAMANINE ASSINEGH – TO YOU MY LOVE I SAY
To you my love, I say:
When i remember you i'm happy
To you my love, I say:
It reminds me of days gone by
To you my love, I say:
When my heart had no other worries
To you my love, I say:
My dream is you
To you my love, I say:
My essence is you
To you my love, I say:
My heart is yours
To you my love, I say:
You are the mistress of my thoughts

B3 NAK AKALINE TINZA – TINZA, MY HOMELAND
Tinza is my home
My fatherland, which I inhabit and so admire
I grew up there, and there I learned how to love
I left my memories of childhood there too
Those unforgettable memories, shared with my brothers
From my village which I knew so well, and loved.

B4 TIDIT – REALITY
The truth we know it well
And we know you know it too
When you rise up
Only to split up
It's the enemy you're encouraging.
You love freedom
You chant for it in your sleep
But the enemy thinks of you
Like the trough in which he quenches his thirst
There are old men who have waited, patiently since birth
For you to build a unified country
We have suffered too much; it's our dishonour
If you don't strive towards a clear objective.

B5 DIHAD TEDOUN ITRAN – WHEN THE STARS FALL
Whe the stars fall
I listen to the beautiful melody of the wind
It's the time when, all alone, I engage with my thoughts
I sit longingly, and see nothing
But the traces of memories.
My heart speaks to me about some dream
And much besides, much that gives me pain.
The world seems tight and narrow
When my soul sister is not here with me.
