What is fascinating about it is not only its age but the fact that both its manufacture and the purpose for which it is being played have never changed during all these years. It is still made of wood and animal products, such as the intestine of the sheep for the strings, the leather that covers the sound box. It is used for praying, for praising God and for meditation, just as it was in the olden days and it has survived until the present day. During the time of the Derg regime, after the overthrow of the emperor Haile Selassie, it was no longer considered important. As for the Begena, which used to be broadcasted through the radio during the fasting season, all this was stopped. At that time I was a teacher at the music school, the only music school in the country, and because I did not get the necessary support to develop it I had to stop, because I was not allowed to teach. And so we could say that it did become a disappearing popular art. But not anymore, especially in the past 15, 16 years it has revived. There are many Begena players, mostly youngsters, of whom I have taught more than 500 students. Still there are some Begena makers, who make the instrument for new students. What is interesting about this instrument is that the music, or the tone that comes out of this instrument, has a special power to make people to concentrate, to keep quiet, to be carried away in thoughts, thinking of what is said. This is a special quality. You don't have to be an Ethiopian, anybody can listen to it, automatically it will make him keep quiet and concentrate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e- Alemu Aga (taken from an interview with Pit Budde for WDR Radio, Cologne, 2008)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded by Pit Budde in Addis Ababa, 1999 \u0026amp; 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssued under license from Laika Records, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n[[Selling Points]]\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable on 2LP or cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded by Pit Budde in Addis Ababa, 1999 \u0026amp; 2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights the Begena, one of the rare musical instruments of the world that has survived for more than 5800 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n[[Catalog Number]]DEATH114LP[[Artist]]Various Artists","brand":"Death Is Not The End","offers":[{"title":"Elders of the Begena: The Harp of David in Ethiopia \/ Album \/ Cassette","offer_id":47042884632821,"sku":"DEATH114","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Elders of the Begena: The Harp of David in Ethiopia \/ Album \/ 2LP Black","offer_id":47042884600053,"sku":"DEATH114LP","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/eldersps.jpg?v=1758563864"},{"product_id":"underloop","title":"Underloop","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter following Luke Blair's work for approaching two decades from his 2007 debut as Lukid on Actress' Werk Discs, we're humbled to present a new album on Death Is Not The End.

The Amharas, who have long formed the politically and culturally dominant people of Ethiopia, mainly inhabit the central and northern part of the country. In the majority, they follow the monophysite Orthodox Tewahido Church established in the early fourth century AD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMusic plays a very important part in the life of the church. Most of the liturgy is sung and, contrary to secular music, it is accompanied by percussion instruments only. The begena occupies a special place because it is the one melodic instrument exclusively dedicated to the spiritual repertory. Because of its mythical origin, it is highly respected. Tradition holds that the begena was given to king David by God, and brought to Ethiopia by Menelik I, together with the Ark of the Covenant. It has always been the instrument of kings and nobles. Played by pious men and women of letters, it never became widespread. But it never disappeared either, not even under the Derg regime (1974-1991) which had banned the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong Amhara string instruments, the begena is the most carefully crafted, especially with regard to the ornately sculpted crossbar. Its ten gut strings are cleaned and twisted several times. The characteristic buzzing timbre equalled by no other Amhara instrument is due to the enzirotch, that is, small bits of leather placed between each string and the bridge. This plays an important part in the sound production by creating a brief contact between the string and the upper rim of the bridge, thus modifying the vibrating properties of the string. In this manner, the spectrum of the sound is considerably enhanced (up to over 10 kHz).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe begena is a very powerful instrument, it keeps the devil thirty steps away, and its presence in the home wards off malicious spirits. Priests and preachers recommend its presence, especially during Lent (Fassika Tsom) when the Orthodox Amharas ponder their sins and repent. Because of its spiritual import, the begena generates intense emotion. According to some musicians, playing the begena brings them into direct contact with God or the Virgin Mary. The religious role of the begena is underscored by the shape of the instrument, each part symbolises an important element of the faith. The crossbar for instance, which reaches across the entire width of the instrument, represents God who is above all things.

The Matsigenka inhabit deep territories of Megantoni National Park, an area considered among the most biodiverse and culturally significant in the region.

The rituals are performed to accompany the dead and their relatives when a member of the community dies, helping the deceased children (gualíes) or adults (alabaos and levantamientos de tumba) in the passage of their souls to eternity. The main objective of these practices is to alleviate and help in the management of grief related to death, based on acts of solidarity that allow us to reaffirm ourselves as communities and unite family members, friends, neighbours and others with all those who participate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Afro-descendant communities, death is a gateway to the other world, a place where the spirits, our ancestors, are present. We understand death as part of life itself and a necessary step \"to enjoy the eternal presence of the Lord\" (1). For many of us, there is no doubt that there is a relationship between the living and the dead that does not end with the death of the person, but is simply transformed. Among the Afro communities of Medio San Juan, death means reunion with the Creator, triumph over sin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chocoan researcher Ana Gilma Ayala sums the alabaos as a way of \"accompanying not only the mourners but also the deceased.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor us, in our worldview, there is the idea and it is very African - that there is a road to the afterlife, a road on which the deceased needs accompaniment. So one way of accompanying them is through prayers and songs\" (2)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Father Gonzalo Torres, the idea of links between the living and the dead is linked to our African heritage: \"these manifestations are based on the idea of the African muntú, of the large extended family, which is not only lived here but is also transferred to the afterlife. And those who leave remain waiting for the one who stays. And for the same reason you always have to say goodbye to them rather than mourn them - although at some point you also mourn them, you first say goodbye to them so that they can leave peacefully, so that they can rest, so that they can wait for you in peace and not disturb the community\" (3)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThus, understanding that death is a step, the journey of a path towards the next life, preparation and accompaniment are necessary. The passage to the afterlife lasts several days beginning on the day of death, when the soul leaves the physical body, and ending nine days later when the soul is ready to leave this world. That is why the performance of each of these rites, the gualí for a child, and the wake, the novena and the raising of the grave or completion of the novena for an adult, are so important for us, as it is our way of saying goodbye and interceding before God for the souls of those who have passed away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(1) Afro priest Nilson Sánchez, former parish priest of the community of San Miguel in the municipality of Medio San Juan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Ana Gilma Ayala, Chocoana teacher and ‘popular researcher’ from Chocó.

Since its inception, South Asian cinema drew heavily from Marathi, Parsi, and Bengali musical theatre and silent film screenings were often accompanied by live music to mimic a live staged experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen sound films arrived, actors with serious singing skills became the next wave of stars. Songs were performed live while shooting, with musicians hidden off-camera, to the side or sometimes even in trees. Playback singing — the practice of dubbing a real singer's voice over a lip-syncing actor — didn't become standard until the 1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus, the biggest stars of the 1930s were also the greatest singers, with some, like Govindrao Tembe and Pankaj Mullick, excelling as both composers and vocalists. None, however, were more beloved than K.L. Saigal, whose emotional, untrained crooning captivated audiences across the subcontinent. Saigal's voice inspired a young Lata Mangeshkar, who vowed to become India's greatest filmi singer to win his heart. Sadly, Saigal grew increasingly addicted to alcohol, unable to perform without it, and passed away at age 42, seven months before the Partition. Lata never married.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection features some of the earliest songs from South Asian cinema, sourced from CDs and LPs found in Jackson Heights, Queens, Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, and Oak Tree Road in Iselin, New Jersey — areas home to vibrant immigrant communities. South Asian immigration to New York and New Jersey surged after the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, which lifted non-European quotas. By the 1990s and 2000s, the region's Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi media outlets flourished, especially in Jackson Heights, where such stores outnumbered the total number of regular record shops throughout the five boroughs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nascent period of sound film featured a limited palette of musical styles, predominantly Marathi Bhagveet, like the Ghazal, but with greater flexibility of subject matter and rhythm, and Rabindra Sangeet, the approximately 2,000 songs and poems composed by Bengali Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore. But there was some evolution as well, with the success of South Asian cinema's first woman composer, the classically trained Saraswati Devi, and the introduction of Western instruments including the piano and Hawaiian guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile much of the music was dark and brooding, perhaps exemplified best by Devika Rani's interpretation of Saraswati Devi's \"Udi Hawa Mein\" from 1936's Achhut Kannya (Untouchable Maiden), there were moments of brightness, such as R.C. Boral's \"Lachhmi Murat Daras Dikhaye\" sung by Kanan Devi in Street Singer, an otherwise thoroughly depressing film from 1938 that cemented Devi's and co-star K.L. Saigal's superstardom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis selection was chosen to emphasise a range of expressivity, instrumentation and style achieved even within the decade's relatively limited scope, setting the listener up for the relative explosion of possibility in the 1940s, to be covered in the next installment of this series.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Gary Sullivan (Bodega Pop) [[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable on cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures some of the earliest songs from South Asian cinema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourced from CDs and LPs found in Jackson Heights, Queens, Coney Island Avenue in Brooklyn, Lexington Avenue in Manhattan, and Oak Tree Road in Iselin, New Jersey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSongs performed live while shooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Catalog Number]]DEATH103[[Artist]]Various Artists\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Death Is Not The End","offers":[{"title":"Stars from Another Sky Pt. 1: Film Songs from the Subcontinent Before the World Was Torn Asunder, 1932-1939 \/ Album \/ Cassette","offer_id":47098090520821,"sku":"DEATH103","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/5050580848856.jpg?v=1759883695"},{"product_id":"digging-central-asia-musical-archaeology-along-the-silk-road","title":"Digging Central Asia: Musical Archaeology along the Silk Road","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnvar Kalandarov is a music archaeologist, musician and producer from Tashkent, Uzbekistan with a focus on unearthing rare and hard to find gems from across Central Asia.

Playback singing, still a new idea in the previous decade, quickly became standard practice. Actors no longer had to sing, and singers no longer had to act, opening the door to a wave of dedicated vocal talent that redefined the sound of the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoices like Noor Jehan, Shamshad Begum, and Suraiya rose to prominence, becoming household names across the subcontinent. Behind them, composers like Naushad, Anil Biswas, and Ghulam Haider were expanding the sonic palette of film music, blending ragas with Western orchestration, folk tunes with jazz-era instrumentation. Harmoniums, sarangis, violins, accordions, and clarinets filled out increasingly complex arrangements, while ghazals and qawwalis continued to influence mood and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the post-Partition years are often considered to be Bollywood’s “Golden Age,” thanks to filmmakers like Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, and Guru Dutt, the music started its peak just before the divide. By 1947, Naushad and others were producing some of the most emotionally rich and musically intricate work in the industry’s history, compositions that would prove challenging to surpass in the decades that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet this high point came during a time of immense upheaval. The Second World War, the Bengal famine, and the crumbling of colonial rule all loomed large. Film songs often reflected the uncertainty, sometimes mournful, sometimes romantic, sometimes defiant. And when the Partition finally came, it fractured the world that had created this music. Artists became refugees, studios were split, and careers were thrown into flux. Noor Jehan, who would go on to become Pakistan’s most iconic singer, recorded many of her most beloved songs in Bombay. Khursheed, another major star, faded from public life after migrating. K.L. Saigal, a towering figure of the 1930s and '40s, died in Lahore just months before the split.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection spans those final years before Partition, a time of creative flowering and looming catastrophe.

This meant focusing on singles by a lot of artists I'd not heard of, and it quickly became evident just how much of the era – from approximately 1960 to 1974, when 7\" records were all but abandoned in Egypt and Lebanon – had been forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat also became evident was the breadth of popular music issued by even hegemonic titan Sono Cairo.

A little while later this would lead to a formal demarcation in the music - with the polished and western ballad-orientated music known as Luk krung, and the more traditional\/country style now dubbed Luk thung.
