 | Kumuka 1993 -- Efe Pygmy Visit, Zaire (D.R. Congo) Pt. 1/5 This is a video document, 49 minutes in total length, of the interaction between Western adventure travelers and one of the oldest human societies in central Africa. In June 1993, a group of tourists (American, Australian, British, Canadian, French) on a commercial overland trek (Kumuka Trans-Africa) visited an Efe pygmy camp named "Bandikoda", on the Laya River, in the eastern Ituri forest. This camp was situated a short pirogue ride downriver from the village of Ngeleza, about halfway between Bunia and Beni, in what was then the Haut-Zaire region of Zaire, now Orientale province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (ca. 1° 16' N, 29° 42' W). On some maps, this river is named "Lowje" or "Loya River", but it is not the "Loya River" in the MSN Encarta World Atlas - that river is situated two degrees further west in the Ituri. Our guides were Lese villagers, non-Pygmy agriculturalists who exchange their rice, tobacco, manioc and some manufactured articles for meat and honey obtained by the Efe hunters and foragers. The Efe and Lese communicate in mutually intelligible dialects of the KiLese language. The Efe at Bandikoda had become habituated to visits by "mazungus" (foreign tourists, white people), and they graciously permitted five of us to pitch our tents and spend the entire day and night in their midst. The Efe welcomed us with forty-five minutes of singing and dancing, accompanied by drums and honey whistles. There followed some bartering for souvenirs, including the "likembe" thumb piano, the five-stringed "zoma" harp, pounded bark loincloths, and the "asuba" monkey-skin wristband worn by hunters -- the sound of the bowstring snapping against it alerts other hunters in the vicinity. Some travelers then had designs drawn on their hands and faces by the Efe women -- these took several weeks to rub off! In the afternoon, we joined the males on a hunt through the forest; singing as they went, they triangulated their prey with hunting dogs who wear resonant wooden boxes. The men cover their skins with the yellow powder from a tree before returning to camp. In the evening, we cooked a meal of spaghetti and shared it with our inquisitive hosts.

 | Juliette& The Licks llenan en Madrid con punk salvaje y sensual Madrid, 24 ene (EFE TV).- Vendieron todas las entradas y no defraudaron. Juliette & The Licks, banda liderada por la actriz estadounidense reconvertida en estrella del punk-rock Juliette Lewis, ofrecieron anoche en Madrid uno de los dos conciertos programados en esta segunda visita a España con el álbum "Four on the floor". El viernes repiten en Barcelona. De candidata al Óscar por "El cabo del miedo" (1991), donde compartía con Robert de Niro una de las escenas más conocidas del cine reciente, a drogadicta reconocida. La redención de Juliette Lewis llegó a través de la que siempre fue su primera vocación, la música. Con el punk-rock de Juliette & The Licks llegó la catarsis para Lewis -"Kalifornia", "Asesinos Natos"-, quien logró amplio reconocimiento crítico con su debut "You"re Speaking My Language", álbum que ya llevó al directo en España hace dos años.
