Book excerpt: Priscilla Villanueva is tired of practicing piano when all her friends are outside playing. Discouraged and bored one autumn day, Priscilla opens her sheet music and begins playing a challenging sonatina. Unfortunately, it is not long before she smashes her fingers against the keys in frustration. But when her fingers suddenly stumble upon a sticky A key, everything changes. After a beautiful, twirling column of colors rises from the piano keyboard, Priscilla falls off her bench in surprise. As a translucent man dressed in a tuxedo appears before her, the ghostly spirit who calls himself Pythagoras tells a shocked Priscilla that she is a talented musician who has just lost an important element that he can help her find. Soon, he begins to teach Pricilla interesting information she never knew about musical history and theory.

Download or read book Lion Songs written by Banning Eyre and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like Fela Kuti and Bob Marley, singer, composer, and bandleader Thomas Mapfumo and his music came to represent his native country's anticolonial struggle and cultural identity. Mapfumo was born in 1945 in what was then the British colony of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The trajectory of his career—from early performances of rock 'n' roll tunes to later creating a new genre based on traditional Zimbabwean music, including the sacred mbira, and African and Western pop—is a metaphor for Zimbabwe's evolution from colony to independent nation. Lion Songs is an authoritative biography of Mapfumo that narrates the life and career of this creative, complex, and iconic figure. Banning Eyre ties the arc of Mapfumo's career to the history of Zimbabwe. The genre Mapfumo created in the 1970s called chimurenga, or "struggle" music, challenged the Rhodesian government—which banned his music and jailed him—and became important to Zimbabwe achieving independence in 1980. In the 1980s and 1990s Mapfumo's international profile grew along with his opposition to Robert Mugabe's dictatorship. Mugabe had been a hero of the revolution, but Mapfumo’s criticism of his regime led authorities and loyalists to turn on the singer with threats and intimidation. Beginning in 2000, Mapfumo and key band and family members left Zimbabwe. Many of them, including Mapfumo, now reside in Eugene, Oregon. A labor of love, Lion Songs is the product of a twenty-five-year friendship and professional relationship between Eyre and Mapfumo that demonstrates Mapfumo's musical and political importance to his nation, its freedom struggle, and its culture.
