Extractions: By Eugene Godfried, June, 2000 Cuban social and ethnic composition is the result of colonial and capitalist social economic formation of the plantation economy. As Christopher Columbus arrived in Cuba in 1492, he met the first inhabitants of the island, the Tainos. After creating the first village under Spanish domination on the far eastern point of Baracoa, the Spanish rulers started the process of enslaving the native Tainos which led to the so called "encomienda" system formally regulating the trade and possession of natives working in the mines and plantations appropriated by the Spanish settlers. The Spaniards decided to import African labor as slaves to replace the native Taino labor force whose numbers had dropped significantly in the contest against the Spanish colonizers. The Tainos had paid with their life and blood while resisting Spanish intrusion on their lands. The first group of Subsaharan Africans were brought into Cuba in the 16 th century from Sevilla, Spain. Thereafter a huge slave - trade was set up by the Portuguese, Dutch, British and French, deporting Africans from their homelands in Africa in order to bring them to the Caribbean and the New Continent as an enslaved labor force.

Extractions: BANTU LANGUAGES. The greater part of Africa south of the equator possesses but one linguistic family so far as its native inhabitants are concerned. This clearly-marked division of human speech has been entitled the Bantu, a name invented by Dr W. H. I. Bleek, and it is, on the whole, the fittest general term with which to designate the most remarkable group of African languages. 2 From this statement are excepted those tongues classified as semi-Bantu. In some languages of the Lower Niger and of the Gold Coast the word for fowl is generally traceable to a root kuba. This form kuba also enters the Cameroon region, where it exists alongside of -koko. Kuba may have arisen independently, or have been derived from the Bantu kuku. etymology of word-roots is concerned. Further evidence of slight etymological and even grammatical relationships may be traced as far west as the lower Niger and northern and western Gold Coast languages (and, in some word-roots, the Mandingo group). The Fula language would offer some grammatical resemblance if its suffixes were turned into prefixes (a change which has actually taken place in the reverse direction in the English language between its former Teutonic and its modern Romanized conditions; cf. offset and set-off, upstanding and standing-up ). The legends and traditions of the Bantu peoples themselves invariably point to a northern origin, and a period, not wholly removed from their racial remembrance, when they were strangers in their present lands. Seemingly the Bantu, somewhat early in their migration down the east coast, took to the sea, and not merely occupied the islands of Pemba and Zanzibar, but travelled as far afield as the Comoro archipelago and even the west coast of Madagascar. Their invasion of Madagascar must have been fairly considerable in numbers, and they doubtless gave rise to the race of black people known traditionally to the Hovas as the. Va-zimba.

Extractions: Jump to: Introduction Facts for the Traveler When to Go Events ... Getting Around Mozambicans are putting their shattering past behind them and are rebuilding their country at a remarkable pace. And there's a fair number of things to see, including stunning beaches, World Heritage sites, funky colonial architecture and colourful local culture. A long, horrific civil war scarred the country and left a million land mines scattered about the countryside. Much of its wildlife was decimated, and cyclones have ravaged its coastline. Droughts and floods take turns rubbing salt in Mozambique's wounds. It has been estimated that more than one million land mines - laid by both sides during the war - remain unexploded in Mozambique. Some minefields have warning signs, but most are unmarked and often only get discovered when someone gets blown to bits. For this reason it is simply not safe to go wandering off into the bush anywhere without first seeking local advice - and even then your safety isn't guaranteed. Stay on roads and well-worn tracks where other people have obviously gone before. There are also a lot of guns in Mozambique, and a lot of desperately poor people. Armed robberies and drive-by theft at gunpoint in Maputo was once completely unknown, but since 1996 several incidents have been reported. Women are advised not to walk alone along any beach in Mozambique, and travel by convoy is recommended throughout the country, due to the risk of banditry.

Extractions: Dogon sculptors of Mali claim secrets particular to their profession: they have privileged knowledge of fire, metals, plants, woods, and other elements of the natural world, and through ancestral sanction they have society's permission to manipulate this information as others may not. These sculptors are society's blacksmiths. They make talismans and likenesses for religious use, forge hoes for the fields and weapons for warfare, and mix herbal medicines with prayer in times of illness. They are historians and storytellers. They clarify and confound, reveal and conceal. In all of these capacities, the Dogon sculptor has for centuries been both artist and businessman, always exchanging services and products for goods or currency, and sometimes employing others to do his bidding. ( Note 1 ) Inquiries into the secret character of Dogon arts abound-primarily to affirm their sacredness. Other contexts of secrecy, however-less arcane, fully secular, and equally viable-have been little discussed.

Extractions: Latin American music is extremely rich and varied, encompassing different traditions from Mexico, Central America, South America (Spanish-speaking countries and Portuguese-speaking Brazil, among others), and the Caribbean (Spanish-speaking Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, as well as French influenced Haiti, and the British Caribbean, most notably Jamaica). Latin American music has benefited from very varied influences: Spanish and Portuguese, Native American (especially in the Amazon region, Mexico, Guatemala and the Andes), and African (primarily in the Caribbean islands and Caribbean coast of South America). Native American Music We know little about Native American music in the Americas before the conquests (pre-Columbian music). Archeological studies at Maya, Aztec and Inca sites have given us some information, as have descriptions made by missionaries. Different types of drums, flutes, and trumpet-like instruments were used. Stringed and other instruments were introduced in the 16th century by the Europeans. Mestizo Music The term mestizo refers to Latin Americans who combine indigenous and European traits. Mestizo music has received both of those influences. European instruments and derivations of them include the harp, the guitar, the violin, and the accordion. The African marimba is also common in popular bands in Mexico and Central America. Trumpets also became common in Mexican bands in this century (mariachi bands). Flutes are the main contribution of native culture, most notably in the Incan region (Peru), and varied percussion instruments the main instrumental African influence, primarily along the Caribbean coasts.

Extractions: Encyclopedia Dictionary Thesaurus The Web eBooks loadkeyword("Salsa music"); Encyclopedia Definition of: Salsa music de: Salsa fr: salsa nl: salsa es: salsa Salsa music is a diverse and predominantly Caribbean rhythm that is popular in many Latino countries. The word is the same as the salsa meaning sauce . Who applied this name to the music and dance and why remains unclear, but all agree that the name fits, metaphorically referring the music and dance being "saucy" and "tasty". However, the term has been used by Cuban immigrants in New York analogously to swing (Jones and Kantonen, 1999). Salsa incoporates multiple styles and variations; the term can be used to describe most any form of the popular Cuban -derived musical genres (like and mambo ). One particular style was developed by mid- groups of New York City -area Cuban and Puerto Rican immigrants to the United States , and stylistic descendants like salsa romantica Salsa's roots can be traced back to the African ancestors that were brought to the Caribbean by the Spanish as slaves.

Michael Moni was convicted of culpable homicide for killing his wife, Mrs Ntombinaye Moni, after an argument with her about the death of their baby while in his care. Magistrate Paul Pretorius said the court would not fulfil its obligation to the community if it did not react vehemently to this type of crime. He could not, however, convict Moni of murder as the state did not prove Moni's intention was to kill his wife and he was intoxicated at the time the crime was committed. The court heard earlier that Moni caught his wife with another man, after which they had an argument and she ran away. Moni told the court his wife left their baby with him, but as he was working he could not feed the young child, who died as a result.

Extractions: Some advantages of using music as a way of introducing other cultures are that music is very immediate and appealing, it gets us away from the tendency to rely too much on words (and translation), and it brings us in contact with the emotional life of the people. If we use music videos, we are also able to show the appearance of people from another culture, including the way they dress and carry themselves, the interaction of musicians, singers, and dancers with each other and with the audience, and the personal style of the performers.
