Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art developed initially by African slaves in Brazil, starting in the colonial period.

Ben Harper: Encyclopedia II - Ladysmith Black Mambazo - History

Ladysmith Black Mambazo was formed as a result of a dream that Joseph Shabalala had in 1964, in which he heard particular harmonies. He recruited friends and family to form the group, and taught them the harmonies he had heard. The group entered and won many singing contests. They were so good that they were eventually forbidden to enter the competitions but were welcomed to entertain at them. Although they had been recognised as an isicathamiya group in 1964, the ...

Ben Harper: Encyclopedia II - 1992 Los Angeles riots - The riots

The riots, beginning in the evening after the verdict, peaked in intensity over the next two days, but would ultimately continue for several days.

Ben Harper: Encyclopedia II - Culture of New Zealand - Attitudes

The remoteness of many parts of New Zealand and the distance of the country from much of the developed world meant that things that were easily obtainable in other parts of the world were often not readily available locally. New Zealand has only recently experienced economic development outside farming, so traditionally, Kiwis are jacks-of-all-trades to some extent, willing to roll up their sleeves and have a go. Most highly industrialised countries produce experts trained in narrow fields of specialisation, but New Zealand professionals are often generalists as well. This reputation often makes New Zealanders ...

Ben Harper: Encyclopedia II - Dean Butterworth - Biography

Dean Butterworth was born on September 27th 1966 in Rochdale, England. He moved to America at age 10 and started learning to play the drums at age 13. During the early years Dean focused on the intricacies of jazz and fusion drumming, but after experiencing the chameleon-like way in which Stewart Copeland of The Police switched fluidly from one style to another, often within the same song, he began to branch out into many different styles. His stepfather was also an influence on his drumming, advising him to ...

Ben Harper: Encyclopedia II - Pearl Jam - 1996–2002

Over the next few years, Pearl Jam's popularity declined, in part because of their unwillingness to record videos and because of a lawsuit alleging a Ticketmaster monopoly which stifled the launch of supportive tours. Another reason for its decline in popularity may be due to its uncommercial and experimental nature. The first CD could be classed as grunge, but their later body of work was more difficult to categorize. On August 27, 1996, exactly five years after the release of Ten, the band released their fourth album, No C ...

Ben Harper: Encyclopedia II - Triple J - Programming

Triple J - Current programming mix. As well as general pop music broadcasts (with a strong bias towards new music, Australian performers, and against bubblegum pop), Triple J has nightly specialist programs in different musical genres (see the programmes section below). It also covers news and current affairs from a youth-oriented perspective, although this facet of their programming has been considerably reduced since the station's inception. The broadcaster retains a somewhat anarchistic air, and in its earlier days there were certainly times when anyt ...
