We will make you listen to one of her famous musics. ON MET DE LA MUSIQUE LOLWho is Nina Simone ?Nina Simone, whose real name is Eunice Kathleen Waymon, was born on February 21, 1933 and died on April 21, 2003. She is an American pianist, singer and songwriter. She was also a civil rights activist in the United States. Born in a practicing Protestant family, the young Eunice is very attracted by classical music,At age 17, she moved to Philadelphia where she taught piano lessons and accompanied singers, to finance her studies as a classical musician at the prestigious Juilliard School Of Music in New York.In Atlantic City, she auditioned to sing in a restaurant. We are in 1954 and, for her mother, ignore that she plays the "music of the devil", she chooses a pseudonym: Nina, which means little girl in Spanish, and Simone in tribute to the French actress of Helmet Golden. In this bar, she plays jazz, blues, a little classical, and gradually forges a network of spectators, who follow from club to club.In 1958, following the good reception of her first record, she recorded her first album, Little Girl Blue.She then signs with a bigger label. Then, between 1959 and 1964, she released nine albums at Colpix, including six live and one compilation.But in 1964, in full civil rights movement, his activism is reactivated and reinforced by the political situation and his associates. She then signs with Philips, and on her first album for the then Dutch brand, Nina Simone In Concert, she ends with a protest song from her hand, "Mississipi Goddam," a tribute to murdered civil rights activist Medgar Evers and a denunciation churches (and children) burned by members of the Ku Klux Klan, Birmingham, Alabama.Released singles, the song will be boycotted in many southern US states. Having become a rare diva, both politically and artistically, by her talent and attitude, Nina Simone is pursuing a career marked by her commitments, with six albums at Philips. She sings in meetings, puts together feminist songs, takes up the mythical "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday, and dedicates her art to the defense of the rights of her people.In the early 1970s, Nina Simone's life became complicated. She will face financial and marital problems. She leaves her country to settle in Barbados for a while. And will meet at the same time the Prime Minister Erroll Barrow with whom she will maintain a second relationship.His latest studio album, A Single Woman, at Elektra, dates from 1993. If Nina Simone keeps the image of a solitary artist, skinned alive, its impact has been phenomenal over several generations. As proof, we will mention the samples chosen in recent years by Timbaland, Kanye West, Lil Wayne,En grande prêtresse de la soul, elle a touché à tous les genres, folk, jazz, blues, classique, avec un égal bonheur. Elle a influencé un grand d'artistes d'aujourd'hui tel que Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys ou Lauryn Hill, mais aussi elle eut un impact très fort sur John Lennon ou Jeff Buckley. CONCLUSION :After this sometimes chaotic life (suffering from a mental disorder, she could become aggressive and shot once at the son of a neighbor who was disturbing his concentration, another time about a record company employee that she suspected of irregularity on her royalties), this devouring rage against injustice (she was partisan of a hard revolution, and opposed to the pacifism of Martin Luther King, to whom she often paid tribute), Nina Simone marked the twentieth century, and inscribed his name to the pantheon of major artists. She died on April 21, 2003, in her village of Carry-le-Rouet, near Aix-en-Provence, breast cancer at the age of 70 years. His ashes will be scattered in various African countries. Mais elle s'en rend bien compte, la tâche est plus difficile .mais les réalités de la pauvreté et des préjugés raciaux ont raison de ses ambitions. Élément déclencheur :Eunice Kathleen Waymon is ten years old when she gives her first piano concert in the small town of Tryon, North Carolina, where she was born in 1933. Her parents settled in the front row to listen to their daughter (they have seven other children). But they are moved to the bottom, to make room for whites. Cet événement est fondateur, la petite Eunice en conçoit une rage sourde qui la fera monter au créneau lors de la lutte pour les droits civiques, et qui la laissera révoltée à jamais. Ce jour-là, elle refuse de jouer tant qu'on n'a pas réintégré ses géniteurs à leur juste place, et jamais plus, elle ne se laissera faire, même si la vie ne lui sera pas toujours douce. simousse91270 https://padlet.com/simousse91270/zy93bfalx955/wish/225313495 2018-01-27 18:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/simousse91270/zy93bfalx955/wish/225313495
