[aromantisk-fagforening]

Music in various languages

I've talked about how interacting with different cultures is good, I figure I'll also try to recommend some songs. (many songs beneath the cut). I'm going to include a couple different genres, but obviously I won't be including every.

I hit audio limit :/

Norwegian language (Norway):

[Pt: Du må ikke sove by klarspråk]. [album: du må ikke sove. shows a warped photo of Donald Trump on tv.] genre: rock / (punk?) / spoken word / social criticism. it's an antifascist song, quoting a famous illegal WWII poem by the same title "you mustn't sleep".

[PT: regn & gitar by Jomas] [album: evig kronisk. shows man looking at a garden holding a retro phone.] It's a more soft quiet song about waiting for someone in the rain.

(I could recommend many more Norwegian songs so don't feel afraid to ask if you're at all interested)

Sámi language (Norway / Sweden / Finland / Russia):

I don't have the necessary letters on my keyboard to write PT. But this is a Inari Sami song by Amoc. I don't speak that language. here are the lyrics on genius. here's a dictionary, not sure if it's the right Sámi language. The genre is like atmospheric rock or something, the instruments are amazing.

[PT: áddjá by resirkulert] [album cover: áddjá] translation: grandfather (Sámi) by recycled (Norwegian). genre: yoik/joik - a Sami Music genre which is mostly about vocal technique.

French language (France / Benin / Congo / Democratic republic of Congo / Monaco / Senegal / Switzerland / Belgium / Ivory coast ++)

[PT: Soleil noir by 47ter] [album: petit princes. Photo of three boys on stairs]. A rap song by a trio from France. It's about "a black sun" about liking the dark and rain and not liking summer.

[PT: Déprime hostile by Pogo crash control]. [album: Déprime hostile. Shows a digital drawing of a head cut open with a cocktail]. genre: punk / metal. The band is from France. The song is about hostile depression or something.

[PT: plus rien ne m'étonne by Tiken Jah Fakoly]. [album: coup de guele. It shows a face pointed towards the ceiling]. The artist is from Ivory coast (AKA côte d'ivoire). genre: Reggae. It's about colonialism.

[PT: formidable by stromae]. [album: racine carée. it shows the side of a man's face, he has short hair]. The artist is Belgian. Genre: hip hop. The song is about a breakup or something.

A Cultural & Linguistic Introduction to Nigerian Pidgin

Brought to you by a Nigerian!

Hey guys <3

This post is long overdue, but I’m finally getting around to making it! 

As most of you guys know, I’m  from Nigeria, a country that serves as the point of origin for over 500 languages, and I am insanely proud of the rich linguistic history my country possesses.  One thread in this vibrant tapestry of language and communication is commonly known as “Nigerian Pidgin”. Nigerian Pidgin, contrary to its name (which reflects its origins) is a creole and not a pidgin, and it functions as one Nigeria’s Linguae Francae. It’s spoken all over West Africa, (especially in countries neighboring Nigeria, such as Benin) but it originated in the country I call home. This post serves a non-comprehensive introduction to Nigerian Pidgin, and I hope you guys enjoy it! NOTE: Although I can understand Pidgin fluently, my spoken Pidgin is far from perfect due to me not speaking it much growing up.

Vocabulary Breakdown 1

Pidgin: A grammatically simple form of a language that is most often used for communication between people or groups that don’t have a language in common. Pidgins are characterized by being simpler or “Broken” forms of a language (E.g. Broken English) 

Creole: A language that develops through frequent contact or interspersion of two languages, and it usually arises from a pidgin. It differs from a pidgin in that it has developed rules and a determined structure. Examples include Nigerian Pidgin, Haitian Creole, and Singlish.

Lexifier: In regards to a pidgin or creole,the dominant language that provides a basis for its vocabulary. (In the case of Nigerian Pidgin and Singlish, the lexifier is British RP/Standard British English, but for languages like Haitian Creole, it’s French.) Strate: “Layer” in Latin; refers to a language that either influences others through contact, or is influenced by others through contact.

Substrate: A strate with (perceived) lower prestige or power in comparison to another Superstrate: A strate with (perceived) higher power or prestige in comparison to another

Adstrate: A strate lacking any identifiable higher or lower prestige.

Chapter One: Intro

Like all Creoles, Nigerian Pidgin has a lexifier, and ours comes in the form of British RP (Received Pronunciation).Though this form of British English served as the earliest foundation of Nigerian Pidgin, the creole in its current state possesses its own unique vocabulary and grammar rules. 

For example, I’ll say some sentences in Pidgin and place them alongside their English equivalents, so we can contrast and compare!

How are you? / How are you feeling?   - English

How you dey? / How body? - Pidgin

What’s up? - English

How far? / Wetin dey sup? (slang)  - Pidgin

Get out (of here) / Go away - English

Comot for here / Leave my front - Pidgin

Let’s pause for a quick look at how Pidgin sounds (using one of my favorite songs! Last Last by Burna Boy)

I’m not going to bother to break down the Yoruba part of it, but here’s what the Pidgin means:

I was in Port Harcourt when [they] killed Soboma

I was trying to buy a car; a Toyota Corolla

My feelings were swinging (going up and down) like a see-saw x 2

Now, you crashed your Ferrari in Lekki, Burna

It was so close, it could’ve been all over

My feelings are still swinging (going up and down) like a see-saw 

... Why'd you say I did nothing for you when I'd do anything you wanted me to?

Chapter Two: Language Origins

As you can probably tell from those examples, Pidgin utilizes its own words, as well as English ones reborn. In addition to English, Pidgin frequently borrows from several other adstrates (usually languages native to Nigeria).

This can be seen in some words that entered the lexicon—Yoruba's "ṣebi", for instance, which is often used at the start of an intonation or a question ("ṣebi you dey come" meaning "you're coming, right?"); and "abi", used similarly to ṣebi but typically placed at the end of a sentence. ("You dey come, abi?" is another way to say my previous example sentence.)

There's also Oya, which has the exact same meaning as Yalla in Arabic, which I would see as more precise than defining it simply as "let's go" or "hurry up" or "I'm waiting for you" or "I'm done, let's go". Let's say it's multi purposed.

Modern pidgin slang terms also tend to pull from Yoruba (my favorite example being werey, which means mad/crazy)

Igbo and Hausa, our other two most spoken languages, are not without their contributions. Igbo contributed "biko", meaning please, and "unu" which was changed into una and means a plural you or "you people".

For example, all of una dey mad, awon werey - a sentence meaning "all you people are mad/crazy, with the sentiment repeated for emphasis)

(It’s worthy to note that Unu made its way over to Jamaican Patois, which is another famous creole!)

Hausa contributed the word "ba", which abi is derived from, and is used exactly the same way.

(Abi is sort of a mix between ṣebi and ba and is most likely the word I use the most!!)

Because of Portuguese contact with Nigeria, a lot of our Pidgin words have their origins in Portuguese. Some examples include Sabi (to know) and Pikin (child)

Some words, like “Jangolova”, have contested origins—we still can’t agree on whether it came from an English phrase or a Portuguese word!

Vocabulary Breakdown 2

Acrolect: In regards to a Creole, the dialect closest to the standard form of a language, and as such, seen as the most prestigious or formal. In the case of Pidgin, this would actually  be Nigerian English! I’m using that term to denote Standard English spoken with accepted “Nigerianisms” (such as the following words: gateman (denotes a person that stands guard your gate), compound (denotes a backyard and a front yard), yard (used to mean both your physical yard and the people in it), and estate (refers to a neighborhood). It is worth noting that Nigerian English retains some words used in British RP English, along with their meanings (my favorite examples being palaver and portmanteau)

Basilect: The “base-form” or colloquial form of a creole. Like an acrolect, it has class distinctions attached, and is often associated with “the lower class” or a lack of education. In terms of Nigerian Pidgin, Basilectal Pidgin tends to borrow more from our indigenous languages, such as Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa. Basilectal Pidgin and Standard English are generally not mutually intelligible, which is why many people speak Pidgin and don't understand English.

Mesolect: A mesolect is somewhere in between a basilect and an acrolect, and is a LOT harder to define. In terms of Nigerian Pidgin, I’d define it as more tied to Standard English than Basilectal Pidgin in that it tends to make use of primarily English grammar.  However, it is more accented than acrolectal pidgin and still borrows from our indigenous languages. This is the type of pidgin I most often use :)

NOTE: @fineassed has a great video on this in terms of Singlish. He's actually super clever and an inspiration of mine so I highly recommend you check out his page for more linguistics related stuff!

Chapter Three: Language Elitism As A Relic of Colonialism

Of course, no explanation on Pidgin is complete without a small note about something I've noticed

Even though Pidgin is a vibrant, unique, Nigerian invention, it's often treated as a substrate in academic circles, while English is seen as a superstrate. English (and as such, acrolectal Nigerian English) is seen as the language of the elite and the educated. Mesolectal Pidgin is only valued based on its proximity to British RP, and basilectal or “pure�� Pidgin is seen as the language of the uneducated. Despite the fact that the use of Pidgin bonds Nigerians together more than the use of English ever will, it is still not officially recognized as a national language

In my case, I was encouraged to speak English instead of Pidgin growing up so "my English wouldn't be tampered with". I know a lot of people who have the same story, and it's leading to loss of the language among some demographics in my generation. It's also why (even though my understanding is fluent) my speaking is imperfect.

English is the language of education in Nigeria. It is also our other Lingua franca. Partly because of its potential for greater international use, it tends to earn more respect than Pidgin does.

Although this sort of language elitism has been going on for decades, it’s particularly prevalent in the time and age we live in, and it serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of colonialism.

Rema - Charm (Lyric Video)

Global superstar Benin City’s own Rema releases Raves & Roses Ultra, a deluxe version of his debut album released over a year ago today. The 22-year hasn’t taken his foot off the gas since his inception and continues to climb every chart possible, peaking at No.4 in the OCC, No.6 in the Billboard Hot 100 and has gone Gold once, Diamond six times and Platinum nine times across the globe. Rema remains laser-focused on bringing Afrobeats worldwide and delivers the Ultra version featuring three new songs to celebrate the year anniversary. As always with Rema, expect the unexpected and lead single ‘Charm’ - produced by London (who also produced ‘Calm Down’) - combines a seductive beat with intimate and playful lyrics.

The past few years for Rema have been meteoric. From his sold-out tour to performing at the NBA All-Star game alongside Burna Boy and Tems to Jimmy Fallon, Rema has won the hearts of listeners young and old and has beaten every record set before him. The singer represents more than just himself and his generation, he does it for Benin City, his country, his continent, and he holds the responsibility with great pleasure and pride. It is impossible to think someone at 22 could have experienced so much in just over two decades, but Rema has been through the lowest of lows and now the highest of highs. Since he began, he came in and completely switched up the game and rapidly became one of the biggest and most internationally known names in the new wave of Afrobeats stars.

Coining a new sub-genre dubbed AfroRave, Rema’s sound has been received with open arms worldwide, with India and the Middle East latching on like no other. Rema has cited African, Indian and Arabic sounds as inspiration, resulting in an upcoming tour of India this May and a stop-off in Jerusalem with another big announcement coming imminently.

Nigerian Music Takes Center Stage at 2023 NBA All-Star Game Halftime Show with Burna Boy, Rema, and Tems

Nigerian music was at the forefront of the 2023 NBA All-Star Game halftime show as Burna Boy, Rema and Tems took to the stage to deliver an energetic performance that brought the crowd to its feet. The three artists showcased their talents to a global audience with a mix of their greatest hits and newer tracks.

Burna Boy wowed the audience with dynamic performances of “It’s Plenty,” “Last Last,” and “Alone.” Rema then took over, bringing his signature Afrobeat flavor to the stage with “Calm Down” and “Holiday.”  

Tems, who recently won a Grammy Award for Best Melodic Rap Performance, closed out their set with a medley of “Crazy Tings,” “Free Mind,” “Essence,” and “Higher,” accompanied by background dancers.  

Not only did Post Malone perform for the crowd before the game, but there was also the halftime show. He featured 21 Savage, who is on the song’s original studio version, in his performance of “Rockstar.”

For Tems, the halftime show is just the latest in a string of successes. Fresh off her Grammy Award, she was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song for her work on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Soundtrack. Burna Boy’s latest album Love, Damini was released last summer and showcased his versatility as an artist.  

Meanwhile, Rema is making waves with her debut album Rave & Roses and collaborations with other artists, including FKA Twigs. 

The 2023 NBA All-Star Game halftime show was a celebration of Nigerian music and its influence around the world. These three musicians are unquestionably positioned for even greater success in the years to come as they keep introducing new audiences around the globe to their distinctive sound.

'Moonlight' - The Powerful New Video from Israel Nkeki

Israel Nkeki has already lived a life which could be made into 100 films but he has chosen music to tell his story, which sees his journey from leaving his polygamous father in Nigeria to a life on the streets and a term in prison to his eventual redemption as an emerging singer and songwriter. His debut single is Moonlight, a song in which he tells of how a decision made in a split second can have a profound and lasting effect on those around you. With an emphasis on hard-hitting lyrics which tell his real-life stories with a contemporary urban soul backdrop, Israel Nkeki has a voice which needs to be heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE2E15Iaa10&feature=youtu.be As a young boy in Benin City, Nigeria, Israel Nkeki often found himself as lead in his local gospel choir but his childhood was far from idyllic. His father had two wives and the household was often filled with conflict and arguments, leading to Israel emigrating to Newcross, London when he was 12. Living with a family friend, he found himself lost and cast adrift in his new surroundings, soon decending into a life spent on the streets and ultimately, prison.  Prison proved to be Israel’s turning point – teaching him to be disciplined and to have confidence in himself, expressing how he really felt. He also finally met a woman he could trust who regularly visited him, leading him to dedicate his second single to her, Loved You. #AlternativeHipHop #israelnkeki #Moonlight #newmusic #NewVideo Read the full article

Odyssey of Majek Fashek and classes for Wizkid, Davido, others

Majek Fashek: the odyssey and the teachings for the youthful stars

By Tunde Alabi Hundeyin-Dudu.

My first musical video produced on any reggae artiste was on TERRA KOTTA. Really the primary reggae artiste in Nigeria.

The second was Majek Fashek. 1991. He was adopted by different Rasta greats like. Ras kimono, Orits Wiliki, Evi Edna-Ogholi, Mandators, Peterside Ottong and many others

Dean Disi , then PR supervisor of SONY music needed me to come back to the workplace. The MD, Chief Keji Okunowo invited me to a gathering.

I had produced Shina Peters ACE video for Sony. It caught like hearth within the trade. The primary musical video to be bought within the nation. So Sony simply declared I might be producing movies of all their artistes.

It was at that assembly Majek Fashek was launched to me.

Hitherto, Ship Down the Rain was raving all around the nation. However Tabansi information, the homeowners, couldn’t rise to the event. So Sony snatched Majek from them. Really Sony tushed up Majek , shopping for him a Peugeot 505, new clothes, contracting me to shoot a complete album video and many others.

D-Day was set for the shoot after I had achieved plenty of location recce. I moved crew and gear very early to Majek’s home at Oluwaleyimu avenue near Oshopey plaza off Allen Avenue.

I used to be shocked Majek was nonetheless sleeping. The home was a four storey constructing, so I hesitated climbing

I stored sending one of many crew up however he wouldn’t come out of the flat. I needed to ultimately climb the steps. Olu the senior brother and Rita the spouse stored apologising to me as I sat the following two hours on a bench within the hall on the balcony. No one was daring sufficient to wake him up. Even Randy, his very younger son needed to be enjoying with this stranger. I used to be furious.

After over four hours since we bought there I all of a sudden heard the sound of the Aladura kind bell sounding from the recess of the flat. Lastly Majek emerged to me on the balcony and shouted “Repent for the Kingdom of God is nigh !!!”

I blew up shouting. I don’t work like this. Name time should be obeyed after I work and so forth and so forth. He checked out me , flashed a mischievous smile and shouted Omo Ita Agbalagba !( rascally elder!).

Though his identify was Majekodunmi, he didn’t communicate or perceive Yoruba, as he grew up in Benin. The way in which he pronounced it was a part of the massive enjoyable. I collapsed in laughter. The ice was damaged. And that was the way in which he would at all times salute me anytime we met for the remainder of his life.

My quick emotions right now are the thrilling occasions we had working collectively on a complete album movies.

I keep in mind the scenes on the lagoon by the Unilag VCs home the place we had been joined by DEDE MABIOKU , apparently a really shut good friend of his. Two scenes stand out in my reminiscence.

I had arrange the UNILAG theatre auditorium for the ‘So lengthy Too lengthy’ observe which I needed to shoot as live performance format. My good friend Tunji Sotimirin facilitated the permission.

I had by no means seen him carry out earlier than and he was nonetheless on the elementary stage of his stardom. All cameras and lights had been set for the stage. The band was prepared. Amos Mcroy, Black rice and many others . I referred to as ACTION! I didn’t see Majek emerge. Immediately I heard the sound of the bell once more from exterior the corridor and as he emerged ringing it and his palms in handcuffs, he was shouting REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NIGH !!! . It was a mad scramble to show the cameras and lights spherical to catch the second. That format of entrance he maintained as his entrance into any live performance he did wherever on the earth all through his profession.

Let me digress. Years and years later , when Majek had achieved worldwide fame and I started to listen to of his substance abuse , I keep in mind seeing him someday in visitors in Maryland. We stopped to greet and I requested why he was breaking down. He narrated to me how he had his first breakthrough which was a live performance tour with Tracy Chapman within the US. On the primary evening of the tour he entered the corridor from the again together with his bell and in handcuffs. He narrated how Chapman ordered her safety to cease him and take away {the handcuffs}. Saying so far as she was involved the Blackman has damaged the cuffs and are free. The sight of the cuffs to her was an insult to her psyche. Majek informed me that shame affected his morale, self-worth, and it was the primary evening he had an overdose.

Anyway again to the video shoot. The most memorable sequence we had was for the observe MOTHER – oyoyo. Because the tune was to honour his mom , I requested him to ask Mama from Benin for the shoot. Location was on the roof of the Nationwide Theatre, with panoramic view of Lagos giving me a vibrant backdrop.

It gave me a chance to see the opposite aspect, probably the most genuine aspect of Majek.

Stardom had crept into each breath of Majek. He would get up in his home as if he was going right into a live performance corridor with the bells jingling. He would have probably the most private discussions with you speaking patois/ pidgin however nonetheless sustaining movie star affectation. Nonetheless on the roof of the theatre , in between takes , Majek will transfer near his mom and lapse into very deep Benin language. He would trade jokes with the lady in method you’ll know no person on the face of earth bonded with him like his mom. Together with her , he was not a star. He was MAMA’s boy.

Majek’s slide into the abyss was lengthy and painful. It unfold over 25 years or extra. I’ve two vivid recollections.

It was at Lekki Sunsplash. Africa’s largest live performance within the solar, owned by Dapo Adelegan. Fela Anikulapo Kuti was the most important attraction. Majek Fasheke was the second. It was FELA’s custom to maneuver to the seaside together with his 27 wives two days to the live performance. I used to be taking pictures the entire live performance , so I moved my crew two days to D -Day getting candid photographs of Fela’s life with the queens and interviews with him and his tribe (story of one other day).

Live performance day, Majek was presupposed to play earlier than Fela. His band was all set however no Majek. Dapo Adelegan and his dynamic staff- Ali Baba , Kunle Onime and many others if I’m not mistaken , had been working helter skelter. Sending varied autos from Lekki to Allen Avenue to drive him on stage. Lastly Majek got here. Disoriented. His efficiency wishy washy, forgetting even his lyrics. It was unhappy.

The final time i noticed Majek was a few years in the past at Chris Okotie’s church Family of God. As I approached him , he squinted his eyes and when he lastly noticed by the haze he shouted OMO ITA AGBALAGBA !!!!

The person in entrance of me cannot be Majek. The enamel had been principally gone. The Rasta locks had been all gone changed by attachments. No method I might be 10 years older than this historical man in entrance of me. My coronary heart sank. Unique Majek had a complexion of a half caste. His pores and skin at all times shone like glass. It has all withered.

I didn’t wish to write this eulogy as a result of of the promise of unhappy recollections overcoming the nice ones. However I made a decision to jot down it to ship a message to our present tremendous stars in Nigeria. Fame is a drug. Celeb is a most cancers. In case you permit it to manage you.

As I write this I keep in mind Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix. Janis Joplin. Michael Jackson. Whitney Houston, Prince, Amy Whinehouse and lots of who turned idols , who turned celebrated globally however who in the long run succumbed to the drug named fame.

Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy. Phyno Taste, Gold, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade. Falz . Mayorkun, Hearth boy. Olamide, Rhema. and lots of lots of our stars “blowing” , you should be taught from Majek’s odyssey. Watch out for probably the most devastating most cancers named FAME.

In conclusion. Majekodunmi Fasheke was a present to the black nation. He was a present to human consciousness.

A firstclass musician and guitarist. Our personal rain maker. Drench them in heavens. ELEWON (prisoner) , the way in which all of us name him , thanks for elevating our consciousness.

Take off the hand cuffs now. You’re free endlessly!!!!

*Hundeyin is the CEO of Dudu Productions and TV and film producer and a former politician
