Loomnie’s thoughts on his childhood and his musical experiences
Szavanna Xanax 2mg Generic: Greetings and Generic Ambien Canada many thanks for doing this interview. Please say a few words about yourself and/or your blog.loomnie: I am Generic Ambien Canada a Nigerian blogger working in Germany. I discovered blogging a couple of years ago. It started as a Generic Ambien Canada sort of personal reflection, but as the audience increased the posts have Generic Ambien Canada become sort of modified. These days I blog about places I visit, movies I watch, books I read and Generic Ambien Canada music I listed to. There is no theme to the posts, really; I write about whatever catches my fancy.
Szavanna: Since there are more and more posts on music on your blog – (the last one was about a South African band, Freshlyground), in your Generic Ambien Canada Blogger profile you say you like Miles Davis, you wrote about Tinariwen, Ali Farka Toure, Bongos Ikwue and Generic Ambien Canada others – it Generic Ambien Canada shows that you are interested in a wide range of styles. Where does this Generic Ambien Canada interest come from – any specific reason for Generic Ambien Canada being so open to music from so many countries – any strong musical background that explains these musical choices?
loomnie: I really don’t know where the interest comes from… ok, let me think about it. I grew up as one of four children in a Generic Ambien Canada middle-class family in a Nigerian small town. There wasn’t much to Generic Ambien Canada do socially apart from being with friends in school and Generic Ambien Canada listening to the radio. The public service radio was pretty and Generic Ambien Canada most of the Nigerian music I have recently blogged about I listened to Generic Ambien Canada on the radio while growing up in the 80s and Generic Ambien Canada early 90s. They also played jazz music from artistes like Tico Rico, Louis Armstrong, Earl Klugh etc. Also, my grandfather died sometime in the Generic Ambien Canada early 90s so I literally inherited his library. His library was rich so it Generic Ambien Canada opened me up to a lot of things. I kind of ‘discovered’ jazz during my university days, but the Generic Ambien Canada striking thing was then when I formally discovered it it Generic Ambien Canada was because it reminded me of the kind of music I used to Generic Ambien Canada listen to growing up. I explored a bit and found other interesting kinds of music that Generic Ambien Canada I loved… the lists just kept growing, jazz, latin jazz, blues, soul… the Generic Ambien Canada older sounding the better. Now I am tuned to some younger people. Discovered Joss Stone, Jamie Cullum, Renee Olstead a Generic Ambien Canada couple of years ago, just about the same time I got acquinted with the Generic Ambien Canada music of Ali Farka Toure and Amadou et Miriam Bagayoko… and Generic Ambien Canada as you can see on my blog, I am still exploring. I hope I answered your Generic Ambien Canada question.
Szavanna: I’d like to Generic Ambien Canada ask a few questions about your childhood. I am not sure if you Generic Ambien Canada grew up in Lagos or somewhere else – please tell me a bit about the place you grew up in.
loomnie: I already said a bit about the place…. It is Generic Ambien Canada a small town, kind of ancient, town. It is in the Generic Ambien Canada Yoruba-speaking part of Nigeria. It is not special in any way, just one of those towns that Generic Ambien Canada are slow and comfortable. I think that informs why I don’t particularly love big cities
Szavanna: Can you tell me about the role music played when growing up – did you Generic Ambien Canada play any instruments, did any specific type music influence you Generic Ambien Canada – any musician or style of music and made an impact in any way?
loomnie: My mother belongs to Generic Ambien Canada a church whose joint national choir has about the largest orchestra in Nigeria. I attended the Generic Ambien Canada church myself. My mother plays the viola, that obscure sister of the Generic Ambien Canada violin. My younger brother plays the piano, and I tried learning the Generic Ambien Canada flute too… I dropped it Generic Ambien Canada after a while, and I still regret it now. It would have Generic Ambien Canada been nice to have that right now. Yes, there was some music in my life as a Generic Ambien Canada kid growing up. Actually, thanks for asking these questions; they are Generic Ambien Canada making me think more about my life as a kid!
Szavanna: Have you ever made instruments (anything to make noise with:)from Generic Ambien Canada material that you found at home when you were small and Generic Ambien Canada if yes what type of instrument was it (drums, or shakers or a guitar etc.)- or if not – do you remember someone else doing so?
loomnie: No, I don’t think I ever make any instruments as a kid…well, the Generic Ambien Canada thing was that anything could be a drum: the tabletop, the Generic Ambien Canada wall sometimes, a whole lot of things. But I never made any instruments…
Szavanna: Some time ago West African idol was on TV and Generic Ambien Canada we were watching many of the initial auditions which I found quite entertaining for Generic Ambien Canada a while since here in South Africa we don’t usually get to Generic Ambien Canada see programs from other countries in Africa (sadly). One of the judges was Dede Mabiaku – who (if I know it right) is a Fela student. What do you think about the show and about Dede’s music?
loomnie: I am sorry but I didn’t watch Idol West Africa at all… I was in Europe when it aired.
Szavanna: I have Generic Ambien Canada always been interested in finding out more about the life and Generic Ambien Canada times of Fela – how did he and Generic Ambien Canada his music influence the communities around you while growing up?
loomnie: Fela was great in so many ways. I think that Generic Ambien Canada he is the greatest musical export Nigeria ever had. And he deserves every accolade that Generic Ambien Canada has ever been showered on him… of course, except the Generic Ambien Canada ones that take him to be a deity. When Fela died I was only 17 so he didn’t have Generic Ambien Canada much influence on me when he was still alive. His influence came much later. I remembered listening to Generic Ambien Canada his music along with the others on the radio when Generic Ambien Canada I was growing up, but in my small town things didn’t really get to Generic Ambien Canada us. I guess that if I was in Lagos at that Generic Ambien Canada time I probably would have more stories to tell. I can Generic Ambien Canada tell you stories about Fela but I don’t think I really have Generic Ambien Canada any rights or qualifications to do that; there are qualified people who Generic Ambien Canada have done that and are still doing it.
