it is a hw in Music and American culture course.Give each question a decent answer.

Part one Graceland

What sonic or visual images come to mind when you hear the words “world music”? What does this refer to? How is it marketed, praised, condemned, or satirized?

Describe the sonic elements of “Homeless.” Include the genre(s), major instruments, features, form, texture, or whatever else would help explain the general portrait of the song to someone who had not heard it before. What is familiar or unfamiliar to you?

In “You Can Call Me Al,” how do the South African sounds sit within the texture of the song? How might listeners unfamiliar with South African music interpret them?

How would you describe the encounter between genres and/or cultures in the music? Would you call this appropriation, collaboration, or something else?

What information about the collaboration does the staging of the live performance offer? What is the spatial relationship between Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo? How are they positioned on stage and in relation to one another? What are other elements of note? How are they dressed? How do they move? Does the physical presentation align with your read of the sonic collaborations or counter them?

You have been hired to consult in a dispute between Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Paul Simon in regards to their economic, cultural, and artistic rights to the material on Graceland. LBM would like greater recognition and remuneration for their work on the labum and Simon refuses. Make a decision as to whether to continue to continue to credit Ladysmith Black Mambazo and maintain representation and promotion of the album as is and explain why OR discuss what changes you think are necessary. Discuss why you have come to your conclusion and offer convincing evidence (from this case or others) for having come to this result.

Part two

What are at least 10 distinguishing elements of note in the video for “Rosa Parks”? What musical, lyrical, or visual elements are present? What elements can you connect to course material? What elements seem significant even if you don’t know what they are?

Describe the “Rosa Parks” instrumental track in three sentences. Include the genre(s), major instruments, features, form, texture, or whatever else would help explain the general portrait of the song to someone who had not heard it before.

Describe the “Rosa Parks” lyrics in three sentences. Include what the song is about, subject matter, themes, major images, point of view, and/or style of delivery. You can briefly quote key lyrics to support your description.

How does the song reference Rosa Parks?

How does the song reference other people, events, or ideas about the Civil Rights Era or African American Civil Rights Movement?

In what manner does OutKast treat these topics? Represent them? Comment upon them?

Part three ANALYSIS OF FOUR LAWSUIT CLAIMS

1. Constituted false advertising. Even though Parks is not named in the lyrics, what ways might they point to her or events she is associated with? Is this enough to warrant her name being used as the title? Is there a difference between using someone’s name alone versus including more biographic information about them?

2. Infringed on her right of publicity. Should OutKast have the right to use Parks’s image since she is a public figure? What control should Parks have over how her image is used and circulated?

3. Defamed her character. Is there content you find lewd or objectionable in the lyrics? Why so or why not? What are possible negative outcomes of Parks being associated with the content of the song?

4. Interfered with an ongoing business relationship. What business is Parks in? How does her image impact the work she did/does? How might association with the song impact her social justice work or legacy?

Did OutKast misuse Parks’s image? Why or why not? Is this song a tribute, appropriation, both, or something else?

Based on your analysis of the case, what should be done to rectify the situation?
