		<title>{EUROPE &gt; NEWS AND MEDIA} - Miriam Makeba: 'I will sing until the last day of my life'</title>

		<description>Miriam Makeba, the renowned South African singer and anti-apartheid campaigner who was forced into exile for more than three decades, died early this morning after collapsing at a performance in Italy. She was 76. Known as "Mama Africa" to her many fans worldwide, Makeba was at a protest concert against organised criminals when she suffered a heart attack as she was leaving the stage. She died soon afterwards at a clinic in the southern Italian town of Castel Volturno.As the first black South African to win international stardom, Makeba performed alongside the likes of Harry Belafonte, Nina Simone and Dizzy Gillespie in the US. Fusing township melodies with jazz ballads, she sang for world leaders from President John F Kennedy to Nelson Mandela, who led the tributes today, describing Makeba as "South Africa's first lady of song". "She was a mother to our struggle and to the young nation of ours," Mandela said in a statement. "Her haunting melodies gave voice to the pain of exile and dislocation which she felt for 31 long years. At the same time, her music inspired a powerful sense of hope in all of us."It was "fitting", Mandela, said, that Makeba died supporting a good cause. Sunday night's concert was to support Robert Saviano, the Italian author who has lived in hiding since publishing Gomorrah, a best-selling expose of the Camorra mafia group who, among many other crimes, are blamed for killing six African immigrants in Castel Volturno in September.Makeba's family, who noted in a statement that she had performed one of greatest hits, Pata Pata - Xhosa for Touch, Touch - shortly before collapsing as the crowd called for an encore, said: "Whilst this great lady was alive she would say: 'I will sing until the last day of my life'."Born in a township in 1932, Makeba started performing in the fifties in Sophiatown, then the heart of black culture in Johannesburg, whose residents were soon to be evicted by the white government. She then collaborated with trumpeter Hugh Masakela, one of her four future husbands, in the hit musical King Kong, which went on to run in the West End for two years. An appearance in the anti-apartheid documentary Come Back, Africa, saw Makeba travel to the Venice Film Festival in 1959. But when she tried to return home for her mother's funeral she found that her passport had been revoked. In London, Makeba met Belafonte, who helped her gain entry to the US where she quickly recorded several of her biggest hits, including Malaika and The Click Song. She testified against apartheid at the United Nations in 1963 - losing her South African citizenship in the process - and won a Grammy with Belafonte three years later for an album describing black people's plight under minority rule. But marrying Black Panther leader Stokely Carmichael cost Makeba her record and touring deal. The pair moved to Guinea, where they became friendly with President Ahmed Sekou Toure. While she continued to perform in Africa and Europe, Makeba never had much money, having unwittingly signed away her royalty rights. In 1985 she could not afford to buy a coffin when her only daughter Bondi died. Makeba returned to South Africa in 1990 following a personal request from Nelson Mandela. She starred in the film Safafina, about the 1976 Soweto riots, and in 2000 her album Homeland was nominated for a Grammy. At home, she was revered both as a singer and hero of the struggle. Radio talkshows were today flooded with calls from fans wanting to pay tribute to her. But Makeba played down her activism, telling the Guardian in an interview last May that she was "not a political singer". "No! I was singing about my life, and in South Africa we always sang about what was happening to us - especially the things that hurt us."Makeba announced three years ago that she was retiring. But, despite suffering from osteoarthritis, she found it impossible to stop performing. In the interview she talked about being unable to breathe properly during a concert in April. "But I'd rather cancel a show than go on stage and sit in a chair, or walk on with a stick," she said.World musicSouth Africaguardian.co.uk © Guardian News &amp; Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms &amp; Conditions | More Feeds</description>

		<description>South African singer and voice of the anti-apartheid movement Miriam Makeba has died. The musician passed away after suffering a heart attack following a performance in Italy yesterday. She was 76.Makeba's publicist Mark Lechat told Reuters the singer had suffered from arthritis and had been unwell for some time. At the time of her death, Makeba was in Castel Volturno, Italy, having just performed at a concert held against organised crime. The event was held in support of writer Roberto Saviano, who is currently in hiding after receiving death threats from the Neopolitan "mafia" following the publication of his book Gomorrah. Makeba, whose famous hits include the songs Pata Pata and the Click Song, was known for her winning fusion of jazz with elements of traditional South African music and her native language, Xhosa. She began performing with the Manhattan Brothers in 1954, before going on to play the female lead in the internationally successful jazz musical King Kong in 1959. Makeba, affectionately known as "Mama Africa", spent much of her life in exile after being denied re-entry to South Africa in 1960. She was a vocal supporter of Nelson Mandela and testified against apartheid for the United Nations. She also appeared in the 1961 anti-apartheid film Come Back, Africa, which showed at the Venice Film Festival that year. Mekaba caused some controversy by marrying the Trinidadian Black Panthers leader Stokely Carmichael in 1968, resulting in the cancellation of her tour in America. She spent much of the 1970s touring in Europe and South America, and appeared on the bill of entertainers at the 1975 Rumble in the Jungle fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Zaire. However, she was invited to return to South Africa by Nelson Mandela in 1990.Her death has led to a national outpouring of grief in her native country. South Africa's foreign affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma released a statement that said: "One of the greatest songstresses of our time has ceased to sing," while a spokesman for the ministry of arts and culture said her death was "a monumental loss not only to South African society in general but for humanity."World musicSouth Africaguardian.co.uk © Guardian News &amp; Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms &amp; Conditions | More Feeds</description>

<td width="100%" style="font:9pt Verdana,Arial,Sans-serif;vertical-align:top;"><span style="color:#808080;font-variant:small-caps;">Www.Guardian.Co.Uk</span> - South African singer and voice of the anti-apartheid movement Miriam Makeba has died. The musician passed away after suffering a heart attack following a performance in Italy yesterday. She was 76.Makeba's publicist Mark Lechat told Reuters the singer had suffered from arthritis and had been unwell for some time. At the time of her death, Makeba was in Castel Volturno, Italy, having just performed at a concert held against organised crime. The event was held in support of writer Roberto Saviano, who is currently in hiding after receiving death threats from the Neopolitan "mafia" following the publication of his book Gomorrah. Makeba, whose famous hits include the songs Pata Pata and the Click Song, was known for her winning fusion of jazz with elements of traditional South African music and her native language, Xhosa. She began performing with the Manhattan Brothers in 1954, before going on to play the female lead in the internationally successful jazz musical King Kong in 1959. Makeba, affectionately known as "Mama Africa", spent much of her life in exile after being denied re-entry to South Africa in 1960. She was a vocal supporter of Nelson Mandela and testified against apartheid for the United Nations. She also appeared in the 1961 anti-apartheid film Come Back, Africa, which showed at the Venice Film Festival that year. Mekaba caused some controversy by marrying the Trinidadian Black Panthers leader Stokely Carmichael in 1968, resulting in the cancellation of her tour in America. She spent much of the 1970s touring in Europe and South America, and appeared on the bill of entertainers at the 1975 Rumble in the Jungle fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Zaire. However, she was invited to return to South Africa by Nelson Mandela in 1990.Her death has led to a national outpouring of grief in her native country. South Africa's foreign affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma released a statement that said: "One of the greatest songstresses of our time has ceased to sing," while a spokesman for the ministry of arts and culture said her death was "a monumental loss not only to South African society in general but for humanity."World musicSouth Africaguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds<blockquote style="background:#FAFAFA;border:1px dotted #E6E6E6;font:italic 10pt Times New Roman;padding:9px;">			South African singer Miriam Makeba dies aged 76 |				Music |				guardian.co.uk	 {...} One of the voices of the anti-apartheid movement passed away yesterday after suffering a heart attack following a performance in Italy {...}</blockquote><div style="font:8pt Verdana,Arial;vertical-align:top;"><span style="color:#808080;">Published:</span> November 10, 2008, 11:33 am - <span style="color:#808080;">Indexed:</span> November 10, 2008, 1:04 pm - <span style="color:#808080;">Page Size:</span>&nbsp;84KB</div><div style="font:8pt Verdana,Arial;vertical-align:top;"><span style="color:#808080;">Category:</span> <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/regional/">Regional</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/regional/europe/">Europe</a> &gt; <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/regional/europe/united-kingdom/">United Kingdom</a> &gt;  <a href="http://www.world-of-newave.info/regional/europe/united-kingdom/news-and-media/"><b>News and Media</b></a></div></td></tr></table>

		<description>We have a room opening up in our comfortable El Cerrito 3bdrm. We're a 10 minute walk or 2 minute bike ride from El Cerrito Plaza BART. A block from El Cerrito Natural Food, Down Home Records, a few decent restaurants. 

The room is the largest of 3 bdrms and has a private bathroom. Good sized closet, high ceiling.

We are 2 jazz-oriented musicians. Mid 20's and early 30's. We practice in the house. I practice drums in the living room, which is at the opposite end of the unit from the open bedroom, some distance away. I'm not a super-loud drummer, but if you're looking for a quiet apartment this is not the place for you. We both like to practice a fair amount in the apartment. 

Decent sized kitchen (electric stove) and living room. The unit also has its own deck. Fun place in a quiet El Cerrito neighborhood. 

Look forward to hearing from you! Please tell us a bit about yourself. </description>

		<title>{EUROPE &gt; NEWS AND MEDIA} - Judith Mackrell talks to choreographer Richard Alston</title>

		<description>This autumn Richard Alston celebrates both his 60th birthday and his 40th anniversary as a choreographer. Bespectacled, he radiates a vaguely professorial air; he appears serenely successful but says he takes nothing for granted. "I feel I've been amazingly lucky. There have been moments when I've been through great waves of insecurity - feeling that I'm a has-been, that I'm finished. But I'm still here, and I'm still making dance." It is hard to put Alston's work into a single stylistic camp. Much of it is abstract, in the sense that it is about the fundamental elements of dance as an art form: space, energy and line. But it is also profoundly emotional, with a lyricism and romanticism that come from his early love of ballet. He counts Merce Cunningham as his greatest mentor, but doesn't share his absolute belief in separating dance from music. Mozart, jazz, Peter Maxwell Davies, Britten - Alston's tastes are eclectic, and whether it's the laidback songs of Hoagy Carmichael accompanying Shuffle It Right, or the splintered darkness of Heiner Goebbels creating the landscape of Red Run, music is always his prime inspiration. If Alston now ranks as one of the great survivors in British modern dance, he was once one of its original rebels. He came to dance late: he was 17 before he saw his first ballet, and there was no dance in his background (he was a schoolboy at Eton, and his father worked with MI6). But his timing was good. As one of the first students at the London Contemporary Dance School in the late 1960s, and then one of the first members of the London Contemporary Dance Theatre, he embarked on his career just as the modern dance scene was getting underway. He was asked to make his first work for LCDT aged just 21. It would have been easy for Alston to secure his future at the company, but at that age he was too restless. In 1972 he left to form the experimental collective Strider, and to "make lots of very rigorous work which we performed in garages and gyms and art galleries". After three years, however, Strider began to feel constrictive. "We were doing rather well," Alston recalls, "and the Arts Council invited us to become regular funded clients. I was fiercely independent and the idea was terrifying. I felt it was time to stop before I found myself in a situation that I couldn't get out of."He left London for New York. "It was one of the best times of my life," he says. "I lived in the Lower East Side, which was crowded with Chinese, Ukrainian and Jewish communities and Puerto Rican drag queens. I took class every day with Merce [Cunningham], who was the most brilliant teacher I'd ever studied with. And I went to as much dance as I could. I soaked it all up."Alston returned to London in 1977, and began to settle down. "I've never had a strategy," he says. Shortly after founding his own small troupe,  he was invited to choreograph a work for Ballet Rambert. He became the company's resident choreographer, and then, in 1986, its artistic director. In 1994, he ended up back at the Place Theatre, the home of his original school and company, where he formed a replacement ensemble for the London Contemporary Dance Theatre, which he has been directing and choreographing ever since. "I never planned for any of this to happen," Alston says, with an expression of slightly bemused gratitude. "Maybe there is a larger pattern here."The pattern lies in Alston's enthusiasm for his art. He remembers being a teenager at village barn dances,  "learning complicated reels very quickly and wanting to organise everybody".  Seeing his first ballet was a revelation. "It was the Royal Ballet Touring Company and I queued up to see every performance. This was 1965 and Margot Fonteyn was dancing with Rudolf Nureyev. Margot especially knocked me for six. Then at the end of the week I saw Ashton's Fille Mal Gardée and I thought, 'This is wonderful. I would love to make something like this.' I took my parents on the last night and said to them, 'This is what I want to do.'"Alston was due to start at art college.  His mother "went crazy", but he stood firm. He enrolled in ballet and modern dance classes, and went to see every company that came to London. Those  years, in which he studied art, listened to music and learned about different kinds of dance, made Alston the choreographer he is today.What has marked Alston out from many of his peers is his indifference to changing fashions in dance. He has seen successive generations of choreographers pioneering different trends, from strident, issue-driven dance theatre to experiments with digital technology. At times Alston, the purist, admits he has felt "like a dinosaur" among them. But he also believes that it is his commitment to "digging deeper and deeper into the core of dance" that has made him a survivor. "I've never wanted to make loud statements," he says."What I believe in is the amazing power and complexity of the human body in steps, in rhythm and music. And that doesn't change." He doesn't fear the prospect of diminishing energy. "I've always loved the endgame scenario - the late quartets of Shostakovich, the late plays of Shakespeare and of course the work that Merce is still making at 89. If I thought I had made my best piece, I would stop. But I don't think I have." ? The Richard Alston Dance Company perform 40/60  at the Northcott theatre, Exeter, today and tomorrow, then touring.
