Klangweltenfestival 2011
2 min read
Gestern am Nikolaustag war wieder das Klangweltenfestival in Hamburg zu Gast, diesesmal mit einem 25-jährigen Jubiläum. Deswegen bestand das Ensemble größtenteils aus Musikern, die in den vergangenen Jahren bereits auf dem Festival gespielt hatten; was für ein Wiedersehen!
Der indische Tabla- Meister Jatinder Takur lieferte sich wieder ein Duell auf der Trommel gegen das Duo aus Java auf ihren höllisch lauten Gendang Trommeln ... und er hielt sich so gut, dass er von einem der Javanesen Unterstützung mit Megafon bekam
Zwei Enuit-Damen überraschten mit nie zuvor gehörten Lauten : Magische Gesänge des Katajaq-Duos, man, die wären ein prima Hinterground- Soundtrack für Horror-Pc-Spiele, ihr Atmen erklang von überall, als wären da mehr als zwei Frauen, als wären da Geister mit ihnen gereist und dort oben irgendwo in der Empore der Johanniskirche ...
Das Highlight aber war wie jedesmal das Zusammenspiel aller Gäste, nachdem sie ihre traditionelle Musik vorgestellt hatten, legten sie alle Instrumente zusammen zu einem Song, der unter die Haut und in die Beine geht:
Das Lied stammte aus Afghanistan, aber so wie es hier gespielt wurde, hat die Welt es noch nie gehört.
Die Verschränkung von Kora und Harfe, auf denen sich die Mandinka-Stimme frei emporschwingt, beantwortet vom Abgrundtiefen Schamanen-Bass und Obertonklängen aus der Mongolei, dazu die Klänge einer Jazz-Trompete begleitet von Tabla und Gendang-Trommeln ... das ist wahre "Weltmusik" und echte Völkerverständigung.
Hörproben gibt es hier: www.klangwelten.com/festival/i…
Schade nur, dass ich nicht genug Geld dabei hatte um das Klangweltenbuch zu kaufen. Mit Live-Mitschnitten auf der DvD und über 7 Stunden Musik auf CD ist der Preis von achtzig Euro bestimmt gerechtfertigt ...
Hm, vielleicht liest der Weihnachtsmann ja meinen Eintrag hier
Erfüllt mit Musik fangen meine Urlaubstage gut an.

Japan goes whale hunting again!

Japan goes whale hunting and Sea Shepherd are willing to stop them !
Read the news from Sea Shepherd :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoka Hey! All Systems Go For Sea Shepherd's Operation Divine Wind
This will be the season that defines the future for the whales of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. Japan's Asahi News has confirmed that the Japanese whaling fleet will return to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
It makes little political or economic sense for the Japanese fleet to return to the coast of Antarctica, but their motivation has now shifted from hunting whales to refusing to surrender to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
The Japanese government has said that it is not in the national interest of Japan to give in to pressure from Sea Shepherd. To this end, the Japanese government has allocated 27 million Australian dollars to enhance security for the Japanese whaling fleet. Already some 200 million dollars in debt, the whaling fleet continues to be an economic burden on the Japanese people.
"It is an insult to all the anti-whaling nations that so generously contributed to the relief of the tsunami and earthquake victims," said Captain Paul Watson. "They have accepted foreign aid to help the victims of that tragedy, and are now shifting funds to perpetuate this illegal and obscene massacre of defenseless whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. It now seems they are simply obsessed with killing whales not for need, and not for profit, but because they believe they have the right to do what they wish and kill whatever they wish in an established international whale sanctuary, just for the sake of defending their misplaced "honor." It's a disgrace and a smack in the face to everyone who stepped forward to help in their time of need."
Sea Shepherd will return to the remote waters for their 8th Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign with a stronger anti-whaling fleet in early December 2011 to protect the great whales.
"They will have to kill us to prevent us from intervening once again," said Captain Watson. "Are the Japanese people ready to take human lives in defense of this horrifically cruel and illegal slaughter of endangered and protected species of whales? Do we have to die to appease Japanese honor? If so, my answer to the Japanese government is "hoka hey" (Lakota for 'it's a good day to die'), and we will undertake whatever risks to our lives will be required to stop this invasion of arrogant greed into what is an established sanctuary for the whales."
Operation Divine Wind will send over 100 volunteers to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to defend the whales.
"If we don't stop them, who will?" said Peter Hammarstedt of Sweden, First Officer on the Bob Barker. "We intend to stop them and we will stop them – that's a promise."
Operation Divine Wind will be the eighth year that Sea Shepherd has sent ships to the coast of Antarctica to frustrate the profits of the Japanese whaling fleet. Each year Sea Shepherd has gotten stronger and more effective, saving over 800 whales during last year's Operation No Compromise.

'Confessions of an eco-terrorist'
2 min read
I have been to the premiere of the movie "Confessions of an Eco-Terrorist". Paul Watson and Peter Jay Brown where there!
I have shake hands with an Pirate!
They did stand our questions and talked about saving whales, tunafish and the ocean at large.
Although it was a highly provocative and a propagandistic movie it still had its point and it was very touching to see and hear how much the oceans are in danger and there is urge for action.
Watson, who has rammed and destroyed illegal fishing boats, saved hundreds of whales and brought the topic of saving the ocean to media, is an charismatic man, who knows how to preach and make it clear to the audience, that they have to stand up and do something NOW.
What can we do?
Go to www.seashepherd.org www.seashepherd.org/ and get informed.
Only buy fish with the MSC-Sign on the package, or better: Don´t buy fish at all. (And the best you can do: become vegetarian.)
Watch "Whale Wars" (just for fun
Donate to Sea Shepherd or Greenpeace or WWF (although Paul Watson, as a founder of Greenpeace would tell you diffrent).
Buy a shirt: shopeu.seashepherd.org/ (I love the Pirate Style they have !
Or: Be a Pirate yourselves!
Sail on!
Fuchsi
