Bela Fleck

13-time Grammy winner Bela
Fleck is proud to announce Throw Down Your Heart: Africa Sessions Part 2, Unreleased
Tracks, the follow-up album to the two-time Grammy winning album Throw Down Your Heart
(Best Contemporary World Album and Best Pop Instrumental Performance).

Africa Sessions: Part 2 marks the first release through Fleck’s own label, Acoustic Planet. “This is a labor of
love for me,” adds Bela. “I’m so glad to be getting this music out there and providing the opportunity for you to
hear these magnificent musicians.”

The expanded musical travelogue includes collaborations in the Malian desert with guitarist Afel Bocoum,
a spontaneous hotel recording with bowed lyrist Albert Bisaso Ssempeke, Jr., thumb pianist Haruna
Walisimbe (“a wonderful spirit”), an old fiddle tune (“The Rights of Man”) melded with the Haruna Samake
Trio, and traditional Malian music with tour mate Bassekou Kouyate. Fleck also joined the Muwewesu Xylophone Group (“I
didn’t know what beat I was on, but I didn’t care”), blind thumb pianist Anania Ngoliga, Malian star
Oumou Sangare, guitarists Djelimady Tounkara and D’Gary, the Jatta Family, and met
up with akonting player Jesus Jah Jarju in an abandoned nightclub in the Gambia.

Hailed by the LA Times as an “important work of artistic memory and conscience,” Throw Down Your
Heart is an album and award-winning documentary that explores the African origins of the banjo through on-location collaborations with musicians in Uganda, Tanzania, the Gambia and Mali.

Bela recently wrapped his 33-city Africa Project tour with Bassekou Kouyate & N’goni Ba, Anania Ngoliga & John
Kitime to incredible reviews:

“shuttled a rapt audience deep into the rich musical landscapes of Africa… a musical moment that won’t be
forgotten.” – Denver Post

“a triumph of authentic, open-hearted music and even a common humanity.” – Ottawa Citizen

Throw Down Your Heart: Africa Sessions Part 2, Unreleased Tracks is currently available on iTunes and
through belafleck.com.

The endangered bookstore: Edited out

March 31st, 2010 | No Comments

The sickliest part of the books business is the shops that sell them

THESE are not easy times for booksellers. Borders, a big American one, ditched its boss in January and has closed stores, but is still at risk of collapse, some analysts say. The British chain of the same name, which it once owned, failed last year. Barnes & Noble, the world’s biggest bookseller, appointed a new boss last month to help it confront the triple threat of the recession, increased competition and e-books.

The struggles of booksellers can be explained in part by a surge in competition. More than half of book sales in America take place not in bookshops but at big retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target, which compete to peddle bestsellers at ever steeper discounts. Online retailers, too, are wreaking havoc. In 2009 Amazon sold 19% of printed books in North America, reckons Credit Suisse, compared with Barnes & Noble’s 17% and Borders’ 10%. By 2015, the bank estimates, Amazon will sell 28%. …
