ALGER- L'animateur de la radio nationale chaîne 3 Ahmed Nany Chellaoua, connu à l'antenne sous ses initiales "Can" pour ses émissions dédiées au châabi et au patrimoine musical, est décédé samedi à Alger à l'âge de 60 ans des suites d'une longue maladie, a-t-on appris auprès de la Radio nationale.

Il était également co-animateur avec Sidali Driss de l'émission "El Qahwa Wel Latay", une émission hebdomadaire entièrement dédiée à la musique châabi et qui reçoit depuis un vingtaine d'années des orchestres entiers qui se produisaient en direct sur les ondes de la chaine III.

Philadelphia-area attorney Francis Malofiy. Photograph by Bryan Sheffield. The fact that Philadelphia barrister Francis Alexander Malofiy, Esquire, is suing Led Zeppelin over the authorship of “Stairway to Heaven” is, by any objective measure, only the fourth most interesting thing about him. Unfortunately for the reader, and the purposes of this story, the first, second and third most interesting things about Malofiy are bound and gagged in nondisclosure agreements, those legalistic dungeons where the First Amendment goes to die. So let’s start with number four and work our way backward. At the risk of stating the obvious, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, let the record show that “Stairway to Heaven” is arguably the most famous song in all of rock-and-roll, perhaps in all of popular music. It’s also one of the most lucrative — it’s estimated that the song has netted north of $500 million in sales and royalties since…

Guitar makers invest a lot of time into honing their craft and developing their stylistic individuality. Over the years, as luthiers grow in skill and personality, their creativity begins to shine through in their woodworking style. Take, for example, the intricacies of guitar headstocks. As a rule, like in any part of an instrument’s manufacturing process, headstock designs pivot heavily on performance functionality.

According to the Grand Forks Herald, METALLICA's September 8 concert at the Alerus Center in Grand Forks, North Dakota broke records for ticket revenue and other sales. The event, which drew nearly 17,000 fans as part of the band's "WorldWired" tour, resulted in the highest-grossing ticket sales in the building's history, said Anna Rosburg, Alerus Center general manager. The stadium holds 21,000. It also broke highest-grossing records for food and beverage sales, merchandise sales, and partnership revenues for one show since the Alerus opened in February 2001, Rosburg said. Country music singer George Strait holds the record for highest attendance at an Alerus Center concert, having drawn about 19,500 for a February 2013 performance. "We did not break the [attendance] record [with the METALLICA concert, but had an excellent turnout and we appreciate the community's support in this exciting event," said Rosburg.

When was the last time a movie made you want to dance in your seat? Or inspired you to travel? America's Musical Journey, a foot-stomping, high-flying, body-bending, hands-clapping, back-flipping, soul-lifting new film, celebrates the USA's trailblazing spirit, dynamic diversity and enormous musical contributions — jazz, blues, country, hip-hop and rock — that were born and nurtured here, then shared with the world. Music is the universal human language that brings us together, touches all hearts, elicits emotions. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman, the 40-minute film is also a travelogue, its cinematography swooping and soaring and sliding through glittering cities and glorious countrysides, fancy hotspots and down-home cool digs. Premiering on February 15, 2018 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, with a second premiere on February 16 at its National Museum of American History, America's Musical Journey will then roll out to IMAX and giant-screen theaters in the USA and around the globe.
