A feature article (I wrote) on the cultural boycott of the Israeli state
Boycott? Yes! Cultural? Too!

It is true that these campaigns pressure may make the wrong pub artists who dare to take the side of the executioners for a few dollars more. But they also discover artists who have something between the ears. I, for example, it made me discover the band Faithless with, for example, that song about the war in Iraq, Mass Destruction . Also, the group Klaxons, which happens tomorrow at the Bataclan.
Perhaps thanks to the pressures of BDS in the world, Vanessa Paradis canceled his concert in Israel. But thanks to the CRIF, who denounced vehemently, that all newspapers have spoken, and everyone now knows what those three letters: BDS !
The BDS Campaign France welcomes the cancellation of the concert of Vanessa Paradis in Israel which was scheduled for February 10.

BDS France had sent on 27 December a letter Open to the attention of the artist to refuse an invitation to perform in the country of apartheid and war crimes. A letter signed by several members of the Israeli group "Boycott of the Interior" had also been sent to ask him not to accept being complicit in Israeli politics by giving a concert in this country.
Through invitations to various artists to perform in Israel, the Israeli state wants to improve its image while the Palestinians continue to suffer apartheid, occupation, colonization and war crimes.
Ken Loach, Jean-Luc Godard, Meg Ryan, Dustin Hoffman or Mike Leigh, Annie Lennox, Carlos Santana, Elvis Costello, Gil Scott-Heron, the Pixies and Massive Attack, among others, had already canceled their artistic performances in different Israeli cities.
Inspired by the struggle of South Africans against apartheid, the campaign "BDS" initiated in 2005 by all sectors of Palestinian civil society calls for boycott, divestment and sanctions against the State of Israel until 'that it applies international law and universal principles of human rights.

Enjoy this one-hour film on the Ethiopian music , visible for only 15 days for free on the internet " Yézémèd Yébaèd "by Leila Morouche .

"Yézémèd Yébaèd family and elsewhere - the ode written by images of the Tiger plane and Eténèsh Wassié to Ethiopian music for years 60-70. The unlikely meeting between the Tigris and turners wicked improvisational sounds and Eténèsh, great voice Addis Ababa, creates a gateway between a prolific musical past and a present interesting and innovative. What are the figures who contributed to the emergence of Ethiopian groove? Why these waves they still resonate in the body? In the footsteps of Tiger and Eténèsh, a musical journey takes us to the heart of Ethiopia and its current music terribly.
