Sub-Saharan
Africa,
long
ago
a
land
of
mystery,
is
today
an
economic
paradox.
Despite
being
blessed
with
a
wealth
of
natural
resources,
from
petroleum
and
natural
gas
in
Nigeria,
to
precious
gems
and
metals
in
Namibia,
the
region
continues
to
be
mired
in
poverty.
Yet,
behind
this
bleak
facade
lies
a
quiet
optimism
fueled
by
tradition
and
foreign
investors.

Western

once

the

as

According
to
an
international
aid
agency,
the
number
of
people
living
on
the
edge
of
poverty
has
nearly
doubled
during
the
past
two
years.
A
new
report
by
CARE
International
says
the
surging
price
of
food
is
the
main
reason
behind
the
alarming
jump.

"Hear
HERE!"
may
sound
like
a
rather
demanding
imperative,
but
it's
more
like
an
exuberant
invitation.
Created
by
The
Royal
Philharmonic
Society
(in
cooperation
with
Classic
FM),
this
website
allows
listeners
to
listen
to
musicians,
conductors,
and
scholars
talk
about
their
work
and
how
they
listen
to
music
themselves.
For
starters,
visitors
can
listen
to
conductor
Sir
Colin
Davis
talk
about
the
influence
of
time
on
his
own
listening
and
work
and
then
move
over
to
a
conversation
with
pianist
Mitsuko
Uchida.
The
"Listen
&
Discuss"
section
includes
interactive
features
on
music
and
memory,
along
with
pieces
on
the
concert
going
experience
and
"Surrounded
by
Sound",
which
looks
at
how
different
environments
impact
listening.
The
site
concludes
with
the
"Resources"
area
which
features
a
selection
of
additional
links
and
the
game
"Beat
the
Clock"
which
asks
visitors
to
test
their
musical
memory
and
listening
skills.
