Peace Tracks

International Alert, a leading peacebuilding organization, recently released several tracks that were a collaboration of popular recording artists and musicians from around the world. The album, Peace Tracks, was released on September 21, 2015 in celebration of the UN International Day of Peace.

Famous artists from many different musical genres, from rock to classical, teamed up with musicians from around the world to create original, unique songs. Some of those involved included: Abba, Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath, Roger Taylor drummer of Duran Duran, as well as, composers AR Rahman and Phillip Glass, to name a few. Musicians from Afghanistan, Brazil, Cameroon, Chile, Colombia, Cyprus, DRC Congo, Ghana, India, Ivory Coast, Nepal, the Philippines, Syria and Venezuela were all represented.

The project allowed artists to put aside cultural divides and come together to express their views on peace and conflict. Musicians who probably would have never met, let alone play together, were able to overcome geographical and cultural boundaries and make music together.

The ‘Recycled Orchestra’ will perform on both days. This orchestra consists of a group of young musicians from Cateura in Paraguay. One of the biggest landfills in South America is located in that city. This site is the primary source of income for many residents.

DakhaBrakha

The International Accordion Festival recently took place in San Antonio, TX. One of the headlining groups was the Ukrainian quartet DakhaBrakha. The folk quartet performed twice on two different stages this past weekend, as did all the opening acts at the International Accordion Festival.

The foursome derived its name from the Ukrainian words for “give” and “take”. The band includes two drums, an accordion, and a viola. All four members are also singers. Their music is inspired by not only their home town of Kiev, but also the beats of West Africa.

DakhaBrakha won the Sergey Kuryokhin Prize back in 2009. Its U.S. fame came in 2014 when the group played at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival and was recognized by Rolling Stones magazine as the “Best Breakout” of the festival.

Cortana Goes Bilingual

Cortana, the Siri of Windows phones, is now bilingual. This is thanks to the integration of the Microsoft Translator app’s technology into the Cortana interface.

Users are able to ask Cortana to translate phrases in 38 languages currently. For example someone could ask, “Hey Cortana, how do you ask where is the bathroom in Spanish?”  Users are also able to type in translation requests, but this feature was already available in the Microsoft Translator app. If Cortana is not able to understand a question, a Bing search will open to try to provide the appropriate information.

The native language translation for Cortana is available in the U.S. and China markets. More regions are hopefully on the horizon. Whether you need to ask a question in French, Japanese, or Klingon, Cortana is there to help.
