Raï! Raï! Raï! Cheikha Rabia & Bellemou “Trumpeter extraordinaire, Bellemou is one of the founders of ‘popraï.’ His music is steeped in the tradition of urban Algeria and the great women singers of the past, yet he has also been a big influence for many of the younger group of Rai singers.” — David Muddyman, writer for Gramophone & Rough Guide to World Music Raï! Raï! Raï!, a film by Claude Santiago, focuses on two major figures in Algerian music: Cheikha Rabia, the master of traditional raï, and Bellemou, the creator of modern raï. Close-up shots best characterize the way the concerts were filmed, disconnecting the singers from their environment and emphasizing the individual performance of each musician and dancer. A reinvented interaction between colors and shapes through a highly dynamic edit reinforces the hypnotic trance effect that the music produces.

Shot on location at a performance at the Banlieues Bleues Festival near Paris, this film is part of La Huit’s Freedom Now collection.

Creative music of many kinds constitutes the heart of the collection.

Total freedom was given to directors, who are reputed for their loving experience of filming music.

Justo Valdez & La Rumba Palenquera: Tribute to Batata Powerful, joyful, irresistible: batata is a music to bury the dead or party to, with rhythms whose names reflect a hybrid polymorphous nature: Colombian Afro-beat, cumbia soukous, porro, and champeta palenquera. The camera deliberately chooses to focus on the musicians’ faces, hands, and instruments. At the core of all these Afro-Colombian rhythms, DJ “Champeta Man Original” tells us the story of this music.

Luis de la Carrasca: Flamenco Por El Mundo This DVD was made during a show created by Luis de la Carrasca, with artists from the Gypsy, Spanish, and Andalusian communities: firmly anchored in the present, while drawing inspiration from tradition.

In 2002, with the Alhambra Andalusian Association, he founded the Andalusian Festival in Avignon.

A revolutionary look at the way we welcome our children into the world features enlightening information, beneficial instruction, and beautiful imagery.

Federick Leboyer, MD graduated from the University of Paris School of Medicine where he served as Chef de Clinique. He is known for his best-selling book Birth Without Violence, on which this new DVD of the same title is based. He currently resides in Switzerland, where he continues to write and conduct seminars.

Birth Without Violence is comprised of three unique films on one DVD. The first film, “Birth Without Violence,” takes a revolutionary look at the way we welcome our children into the world.

“Shantala: Loving Hands,” the second film, examines traditional East Indian massage derived from Ayurveda, emphasizing the importance of touch for the newborn.

Finally, in the third film “The Art of Breathing,” Savitry Nayar Shivalingapa teaches the traditional carnatic chanting connected to Qi Gong and Yoga Prana, accompanied by the tampoura.

Suzanne Arms, author & filmmaker, says: “These films take you into the heart of the mystery of what it means to be born, and how fully conscious and exquisitely sensitive babies are from the start. Leboyer pays homage to both ancient feminine wisdom and the crucial law of the mother-infant relationship in shaping our life and culture.”

“Leboyer is that rare combination of scientist, mystic, and poet.” — Newsweek “Amazing … Birth Without Violence is a sensual experience, visually and verbally, as its poetic prose blends with the pictures like the unfolding of a happy dream … The impact is strong, [Leboyer’s] appeal inviting.”

Sent with his specially trained Afrika Korps to stem the Italian retreat, Rommel succeeded in driving the British back into Egypt—at one point penetrating to within 66 miles of Alexandria. The fighting ebbed and flowed across North Africa in 1941 and 1942, until the great British victory at El Alamein in November 1942 forced Rommel to retreat towards Tunisia and eventually from North Africa.
