Chimila Language
Chimila (Shimizya) is a Chibchan language of Colombia, spoken by the Chimila people. At one time Chimila was grouped with the Malibu languages, but then Chimila became classified as a Chibchan language. Julian Steward, in the 1950 ''Handbook of South American Indians'', reports a communication from Gerardo Reichel-Dolmatoff that he considered Chimila to be one of the Arawakan languages, and would thus be expected to be like Tairona, one of the Chibchan languages. Chimila-derived names "Cesar", the name of both the Cesar River and the Cesar Department, is an adaptation from the Chimila word ''Chet-tzar'' or ''Zazare'' ("calm water") into Spanish. ''Guatapurí'' derives from the Chimila for "cold water", and provides the name of the Guatapurí River The Guatapurí River, or Rio Guatapurí in Spanish, is a river that flows from the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta into the Cesar River in northern Colombia by the city of Valledupar. In the indigenous Chimila languag ...

Bernard Etté (September 13, 1898, Kassel - September 26, 1973, Mühldorf) was a German jazz and light music violinist and conductor. Etté was the son of a hairdresser and studied music formally at the Louis Spohr Conservatory in Kassel. He initially worked with Carl Robrecht as an instrumentalist, playing piano and banjo in addition to violin. In the early 1920s he assembled his own ensemble, which took up a residency in Berlin and performed on radio in the early 1920s. The group also recorded in the 1920s, often with traveling American musicians."Bernard Etté". '' The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz''. 2nd edition, ed. Barry Kernfeld. During the 1930s, as the Nazi party rose to power, Etté shifted away from jazz to light music, leading a large orchestra; during World War II he played for wounded soldiers on behalf of the Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt in 1940 and for prison overseers at Auschwitz in 1944.
