BBM/BMC
celebrated Black History Month by co-organising 'Music
Power',
which screened the South African documentary 'Amandla: A
Revolution In Four Part Harmony', and discussed the role
of music and musicians in uplifting society
(see images below and also click for a chance
to win a copy of the 'Amandla'
CD/DVD).
We continue to celebrate BHM by offering a whole lot of freebies
in our October competitions column - more CDs,
gigs, books, DVDs, etc to be added,
so bookmark page and keep re-visiting throughout
October (STOP PRESS: Closing
date extended until November 7 2005).
The only catch is that you make sure you submit
a British
Black Music List 2005 nomination also, or your
entry would be void!
BBM editor Kwaku presents a Wednesday 2-4pm (GMT) show on
Stonebridge, north-west London webstation www.lifefm.org.uk.
The BusinessOfMusic/Mixed Bag Show covers music industry
issues, plus all forms of black music with a bias towards
British product. There are guest interviews,
chats, etc. Broadbanders should check it out.
Finally,
we're supporting Urban Concepts' Don't Trigger anti-gun
crime campaign. We urge you buy a copy of
'The Don't Trigger EP' (Gut Records). If it's not
in stock,
please order it - it doesn't cost any more, and it
gets the retailer on the case. Or buy online
at HMV. The record's cool and for a good cause!
Entry in
our competitions is bound by rules at the top
of Competitions.
Don't even try entering any of the October 2005
competitions without
first submitting your favourite BBM tracks and albums
for the British
Black Music List 2005
