This television news program is about police brutality in Oakland, California, 1974. The narrator talks about how the town was over half black in the 1960's and the police force was all white, and how blacks were generally treated with disrespect. Some of the policemen interviewed say they were hired as super cops and did not want to change the way things were run. Changes were implemented, blacks were hired, and blacks in the community were beginning to feel a change as older policemen were told to be less aggressive or be fired. An Action Review Panel was set up to review police-community relations. Several incidents resulting in arrest of blacks and charges of disorderly conduct were heard by the panel. Speaking in this film is Ron Dellums and police chief, George Hart. The song, "Hey, You Old Oakland Town" is heard as the camera scans streets and black community of Oakland.

The Syliphone Years
Au lendemain de la décolonisation de la Guinée, le nouveau président Sékou Touré s'affirme comme le promoteur d'une réhabilitation de l'authenticité africaine face au déni colonial des cultures colonisées. Dans une perspective d'unité nationale et panafricaine, les artistes obtiennent le statut de fonctionnaire d'état et sont encouragés par le gouvernement à composer et écrire de nouvelles chansons dans un style plus moderne, tout en puisant dans le répertoire des récits historiques et des musiques ancestrales de l'aire Mandingue. Le fer de lance de cette politique n'était autre qu'un label d'état, le label Syliphone, dont les enregistrements sont de formidables témoignages du dynamisme et des richesses culturelles d'un peuple à l'aube de son indépendance qui porte au monde la voix de sa révolution.

► Sory Kandia Kouyaté
Le chanteur guinéen est sans aucun doute celui qui aura permis à la musique mandingue de toucher les coeurs, au-delà des cultures. Fils, petit-fils et arrière-petit-fils de djéli, Sory Kandia a appris les arts du verbe et du ngoni, luth traditionnel. Il a aussi appris tous les contes et légendes, tous les mythes fondateurs des royaumes du Mandé, de Soundiata Keïta l’empereur infirme, à Sadio, la fille à l’hippopotame.
Son prestige, cependant, il l’a tiré de l’outil dont il se sert le mieux : sa voix. Claire, forte, parfaitement maîtrisée. Et aussi de sa capacité à moderniser les chants anciens.
Conteur privilégié du parti de l’indépendance, il se voit confier directement par le président Sékou Touré la direction de l’Ensemble instrumental et choral de la ’’Voix de la Révolution’’ créé le 4 janvier 1961. La mission de l’Ensemble est claire : composer, adapter, orchestrer et interpréter les airs populaires, pour que demeure en mémoire l’histoire de la patrie. L’expérience apparait comme un véritable laboratoire de la musique traditionnelle africaine et Sory Kandia devient la ’’Voix de l’Afrique’’ avant Miriam Makéba !
Sur cet opus de 2 CD, nous présentons deux facettes de sa musique, la contemporaine et la traditionnelle pour expliquer pourquoi aujourd’hui, près de quarante ans après sa mort, il reste un artiste aimé et respecté.
