CONTEMPORARY TUAREG MUSIC: BETWEEN PEACE AND RESISTANCE
A lecture by Janez Pirc
Cankarjev Dom, Kosovelova Dvorana, Monday 24 May, 6.30–7.45 pm

Lovers of African music, or indeed World Music, will already be familiar with Tuareg music and its crowning glory, the group Tinariwen. This lecture will explain how Tuareg music, which until just over a decade ago was almost completely marginalised, made its swift ascent to popularity and influence. Contemporary Tuareg music is so much more than simply a form of entertainment – in essence, it is the music of resistance of an oppressed but unyielding Saharan people which has, over time, taken on a symbolic role as the harbinger of a Tuareg cultural renaissance and solidarity with other peoples. With aid of audio-visual material, Janez Pirc will present a selection of Tuareg groups, chiefly those from Mali and
Niger, placed within their socio-historical and cultural context. The audience will be able to get closer to the unique cultural creativity of the lands of the Tuareg – creativity which has to overcome the most formidable cultural and geographical barriers.     

Tickets are free and may be collected from the Cankarjev Dom ticket office.

EVENTS FOR CHILDREN*
Kino Šiška Centre for Urban Culture, Saturday 22 May, 11am–5 pm

11am-5pm EUPHONY: EXHIBITION OF INSTRUMENTS (Peter Kus)

This year’s Druga Godba will host a collection of original musical instruments made by Peter Kus for his Euphony exhibition and for various puppet/music performances. The exhibition is interactive and aims to encourage visitors to touch the exhibits and listen to the sounds they make, thus stressing that music is something we should explore and create ourselves rather than simply passively consume. For more details, visit www.euphonia-city.net.

Instrument maker: Peter Kus
Graphics: Kaja Avberšek

Kino Šiška exhibition area

11am–12.30pm RECYLED INSTRUMENTS WORKSHOP (workshop by the ‘3Muhe’ fairtrade shop)

This workshop will be led by Anja Maležič (teacher at the Hans Christian Andersen nursery school) and Uroš Čokl, gifted percussionist on the djembe and dundun drums, both of whom have learned percussion with a number of internationally renowned figures, including Seckou Keita, Seydou Dao, Lancei Diaoubate and Bruno Genero. They will focus chiefly on music from West Africa–Guinea, Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso and the Ivory Coast. The aim of the workshop is to kill three birds with one stone – that is, to make an interesting instrument from recycled materials (shakers, percussion instruments, etc.), learn the basics of djembe-playing, and to have loads of fun. The instrument-making part of the workshop is suitable for ages 4 and up. Younger children are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult.

13.30 EUPHONY – ORCHESTRA CONCERT AND WORKSHOP, 
120' (Peter Kus, Andrej Žibert, Miha Arh and Polonca Kores)

Musicians Peter Kus and Andrej Žibert will be using a large number of widely diverse and unusual instruments at this concert, aiming to show the audience how it is possible to coax sounds from the everyday objects around us and use them to create music. 

The performance will be followed by a workshop at which participants will be able to make simple but great-sounding instruments from widely available materials: straws, yoghurt pots, balloons, PVC tubing, plastic bottles, hairpins, bits of wood and so on. The instruments will include a simple oboe, balloon flute, balloon didgeridoo, whistles, a brnivka and a marimbula. 

Performance and workshop: Peter Kus, Andrej Žibert

Numbers are limited to 30 for the workshop. Under-11s should be accompanied by an adult. 

Kina Šiška exhibition area

4–4.45 pm BIBAMICA IN CONCERT
Bisergora: BibaMica in concert, with an exclusive expanded Bisergora band.

Bibamica has been longing for some songs from Bisergora. She would love to hear and sing them again with the children. She rolls up to the concert with the jewels and the children are already waiting. Where are the songs? We remember them:  BIBALEZE, BIBAGRE ... and MAK, MAK, MAK ... and VETER SEM VETER ... and all the others, up to the last: PA VSE IGRICE SO PREČ ... But where have the songs disappeared to? Maybe Bibamica will bring them in her pearls from Bisergora …

Let’s see!

Brina, Luka, Jaka and Blaž will conjure songs up from pearls, and will be asking the children for help. Matkurja will cluck loudly, since she and the inquisitive BibaMica will be joined at the concert by the teasing BibaTone and by Matjaž Pikalo, the unmissable voice of the know-it-all dwarf TukiTama. The plasticine Diyore will also be there to rock all the pearls to sleep.
