| dbo:abstract | "Starvation/Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie" is a double A-sided charity single released in 1985, and recorded by two charity ensembles formed specially for the occasion, also known as "Starvation" and "Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie" respectively. The aim was to raise money for the starving people of Ethiopia. The idea of gathering artists together to make a charity record was copied from Bob Geldof's Band Aid project, which was number one in the UK charts at the time Starvation/Tam Tam was recorded in December 1984. Band Aid was criticised by some for featuring very few black musicians, and none at all from Africa. The Starvation/Tam Tam record was meant to rectify this. "Starvation", a cover version of a Pioneers song, featured a number of musicians associated with the 2 Tone era (the group were originally going to be called "The 2 Tone All Stars"), including members of The Specials, Madness, UB40 and General Public, as well as The Pioneers themselves. It was produced by Jerry Dammers and recorded at Liquidator Studios in London. "Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie" was recorded in Paris and featured an ensemble of African artists. Many of the musicians in question were from French-speaking countries, but lyrics in a number of African languages - including Douala, Lingala, Wolof, Malinke and Swahili - also featured on the record. It was produced by Manu Dibango. The record was released on the Zarjazz label and reached #33 in the UK charts, marking the only time that a record to raise money for Africa actually featuring African artists has entered the UK Top 40. The 12" version of the single featured a different mix of "Starvation", and a much longer two-part version of "Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie". Also featured is an exclusive track called "Haunted", which was written and produced by Dick Cuthell and performed by Dick Cuthell featuring Afrodiziak. Proceeds from the record were distributed to the charities Oxfam, War On Want and Médecins Sans Frontières. (en) "Starvation/Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie" é um single de lado A duplo com fins filantrópicos lançado em 1985 e gravado por duas bandas filantrópicas formadas especialmente para a ocasião, também conhecidas como Starvation e Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie respectivamente. O objetivo era arrecadar dinheiro para as pessoas famintas da Etiópia. A ideia de reunir artistas para fazer uma gravação filantrópica foi copiada do projeto Band Aid de Bob Geldof, que era o número um nas paradas britânicas na época em que Starvation/Tam Tam foi gravado, em dezembro de 1984. O Band Aid foi criticado por alguns por contar com muito poucos músicos negros, e nenhum de eles era da África. A gravação de Starvation/Tam Tam tinha a intenção de retificar isso. "Starvation", uma versão cover da canção dos , contava com alguns músicos associados à era Two tone (o grupo iria ser chamado originalmente de "The 2 Tone All Stars"), incluindo membros do The Specials, Madness, UB40 e General Public, bem como os próprios integrantes do The Pioneers. Ela foi produzida por e gravada no Liquidator Studios em Londres. "Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie" foi gravada em Paris e contava com uma banda de artistas africanos. Muitos dos artistas em questão eram de países francófonos, mas também constaram na gravação letras em uma série de línguas africanas - incluindo as línguas duala, lingala, uolofe, maninka e suaíli. Ela foi produzida por Manu Dibango. As gravações foram lançadas pelo selo e alcançaram a 33ª posição nas paradas britânicas, marcando o único momento em que uma gravação para arrecadar dinheiro para a África contando com artistas realmente africanos entrou no Top 40 britânico. O dinheiro arrecadado com a gravação foi distribuído para as associações filantrópicas Oxfam, e Médecins Sans Frontières. (pt) Starvation/Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie är en välgörenhetssingel från 1985, som spelades in av två grupper bildade speciellt för denna inspelning, Starvation samt Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie. Tanken var att få in pengar till svältande i Etiopien. Idén att samla artister för att spela in en välgörenhetssingel inspirerades av Bob Geldofs projekt Band Aid, vars singel Do They Know It's Christmas? var etta i Storbritannien och många andra länder (bl.a. Sverige) när Starvation/Tam Tam spelades in i december 1984. Band Aid kritiserades för att få av de medverkande artisterna var svarta, och att inte en enda var från Afrika. Starvation/Tam Tam-skivan var tänkt att "rätta till" detta. På "Starvation", en cover på en sång av The Pioneers, medverkade några artister kända från 2 Tonetiden (från början var det tänkt att gruppen skulle hetat "The 2 Tone All Stars"), bl.a. medlemmar från The Specials, Madness, The Beat och UB40, men även The Pioneers. Den producerades av Jerry Dammers från The Specials. "Tam Tam Pour L'Ethiopie" spelades in i Paris och där medverkade främst afrikanska artister. De flesta av artisterna var från fransktalande länder, men det fanns även med ett antal andra språk, bl.a. douala, lingala, wolof, maninka och swahili. Den producerades av Manu Dibango. Skivan släpptes på Zarjazz och nådde # 33 på UK Singles Chart, vilket är hittills enda gången som en skiva, tänkt att samla in pengar till Afrika och inspelad av afrikanska artister, nått topp 40 i Storbritannien. Den släpptes även i Frankrike, där den nådde # 43 på singellistan. Vinsten gick till Oxfam, och Médecins Sans Frontières. (sv) |
