Amandla (power)
''Amandla'' in IsiZulu means "power". The word was a popular rallying cry in the days of resistance against apartheid, used by the African National Congress and its allies. The leader of a group would call out "Amandla!" and the crowd would respond with "Awethu" or "Ngawethu!" (to us), completing the South African version of the rallying cry " power to the people!". The word is still associated with struggles against oppression. ''Mandla'', which is derived from ''amandla'', is also a common first name in South Africa. The Alternative Information and Development Centre (AIDC) publishes a magazine by the same name. Current use in South Africa The word ''amandla'' is also used when people make a bet, deal or promise; they say the word and hold up their hands with their thumbs up. Since apartheid ended, people have begun to use the rallying cry "Amandla" to express their grievances against current government policies including those of the ANC. Trade unions still use it at mass m ...

Amandla (album)
''Amandla'' (a word in several Nguni languages, including Zulu and Xhosa, meaning "power") is an album by jazz musician Miles Davis, released in 1989. It is the third collaboration between Miles Davis and producer/bassist Marcus Miller, after '' Tutu'' (1986) and '' Music from Siesta'' (1987), and their final album together. The album mixes elements of the genres go-go, zouk, funk and jazz, combining electronic instruments with live musicians. The composition "Mr. Pastorius", featuring drummer Al Foster, is a tribute to late jazz bassist Jaco Pastorius. "Catémbe" is a Mozambican and Angolan cocktail of red wine and cola. Critical reception In a contemporary review, ''DownBeat'' said ''Amandla'' possessed "a precise and consistent sound that flows through the shifting instrumental combinations and lingers after the music has stopped". In ''The Rolling Stone Album Guide'' (2004), J. D. Considine felt the record sounded "vaguely African" and somewhat conservative because of its r ...

A Revolution In Four-Part Harmony
A, or a, is the first letter and the first vowel of the Latin alphabet, used in the modern English alphabet, the alphabets of other western European languages and others worldwide. Its name in English is ''a'' (pronounced ), plural ''aes''. It is similar in shape to the Ancient Greek letter alpha, from which it derives. The uppercase version consists of the two slanting sides of a triangle, crossed in the middle by a horizontal bar. The lowercase version can be written in two forms: the double-storey a and single-storey ɑ. The latter is commonly used in handwriting and fonts based on it, especially fonts intended to be read by children, and is also found in italic type. In English grammar, " a", and its variant " an", are indefinite articles. History The earliest certain ancestor of "A" is aleph (also written 'aleph), the first letter of the Phoenician alphabet, which consisted entirely of consonants (for that reason, it is also called an abjad to distinguis ...
