messages? [T;%]

Wed.: Fado is the national music of Portugal which dates back to the
early 19th century, making it one of the oldest surviving forms of the
many musical styles that resulted from the mixing of European and
African cultures. Fado was almost killed by the dictatorship that ruled
Portugal until the mid-'70s, using the music as a propaganda weapon.
It’s a testament to the music’s emotional power that the younger
generation has now embraced it again. “The Rough Guide To Fado”
features 20 fine Fado musicians, from up and coming 20 somethings to
the music’s queen, the late Amalia Rodrigues.
Thu.: A cast of thousands! There are around fourteen hundred voices
on “Mravalzhamier”, although a single cut may involve as few as three.
The CD title is a Georgian salutation which wishes aeons of good
fortune. Georgian vocal polyphony – whether haunting/reverent or
playful/robust/ improvisatory – is one of the world’s musical wonders.
“Mravalzhamier” is a set of traditional songs recorded “live” in
Australia & New Zealand, where Georgian song is now widespread (as is
also true of Bulgarian choral music). Many of these choirs are led or
helped by a visitor or emigrant from the mountainous republic which is
no longer “back in the USSR”.
Fri.: When Mavis Staples graduated from high school in 1957, the
family group led by her father, Pops Staples, wasted no time in hitting
the road to capitalise on a hit single. Known as ‘God’s Greatest
Hitmakers’, The Staples Singers, inspired by their close friendship
with Martin Luther King Jr., began writing and performing songs that
made them one of the musical voices of the civil rights movement.
Mavis’ new album, her first in eight years, “Have A Little Faith”
continues the tradition of mixing gospel songs with songs for social
change. Her voice is as pleasingly husky as ever, the arrangements are
varied and she ends the disc with the first song her Daddy ever taught
her.

Fri.: VERBATIM - oral histories with David Mark. This week: "Laraine
Wheeler: Behind the Spotlights". Old-style theatrical trouper, Laraine
Wheeler, has worked with many of the greats in Australian theatre,
opera and dance, but always from behind the spotlight – never in it.
She spent twenty-one years at the Adelaide Festival Centre in the
lighting department – but that’s only half her career. Among many other
companies, Laraine has worked with the Australian Opera, the Australian
Dance Theatre, the South Australian Theatre Company, Handspan Theatre
and Phillipe Genty. But just as she never wanted to be a performer,
she’s not much of a name dropper, so we don't hear about her season
with Joan Sutherland, or what the young Graham Murphy was like to work
with. Instead she talks about what it’s been like to be a hardworking
professional doing a very practical job in an industry where the
glamour is only on the surface. Laraine Wheeler has worked as a stage
hand, stage manager, electrical technician and lighting designer. [T;%]

possible segments carried in this program, as the program is an
abridged version of the "Sunday Morning" program that is broadcast on
ABC Radio National. [%]
Thu.: THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained with Richard
Aedy. This week: 1. "Artificial Photosynthesis". Photosynthesis is
simple: plants take carbon dioxide and water - and, using energy
provided by sunlight - turn it into oxygen and carbohydrate. They are
just good enough at this to continue their existence but Australian
researchers are planning to be much better, once they solve four
difficult challenges. 2. "Smart Shower". The drought has brought a
greater awareness that Australia is a dry continent. Too dry really for
the long showers that some of us used to enjoy. 3. "More Light Than
Heat". On sunny days, offices and cars can quickly become very hot.
Blinds and other barriers cool things down, but the cost is lost light.

Fri.: HIT MIX* - presented by Brendon Telfer. Find out what we're
listening to in Australia and what we're giving to the world in our
