In a lecture to non-Muslims, Sulayman Nyang details the fascinating history of a European country ruled by Muslims which, not too long ago, was considered a wonder of the world and a major center of civilization. At the Dar al Islam Teachers’ Institute in New Mexico, Dr. Nyang begins with the context of Muslim Spain by discussing the Umayyid rule, its subsequent downfall and its resurrection in Al-Andulus. He then briefly outlines the events leading up to the Muslim rule in Spain, the atmosphere created by it, and the primary reason for its decline. He shows how the development, growth and contribution of Muslim Spain is not much different from modern America and its presence and influence on the world scene; a comparison that allows for a better understanding of the profound history of Muslim civilization in the West. Dr. Nyang concludes by analyzing the transformation of Muslim culture into Spain, namely the lifestyle, architecture, business dealings and knowledge. Other topics discussed: Muslims as custodians of Greek knowledge, the invention of the bank check, interfaith coexistence, Charles Martel’s victory, and the Inquisition. (Duration: 1 hour, 16 min) This lecture is the second part of a session covering Africa and Spain. The first part is entitled “The History of Islam in Africa”.

ALY TADROS
Jun 8th
PRESENTED BY BARBARA RAPPAPORT
When Aly Tadros was offered her first paid gig, she had three original songs under her belt. The set time called for two hours.
She took it anyways.
Three years and over 500 shows later, that gutsy attitude has defined Tadros as an ardent and auspicious voice among young singer/songwriters. Spacious and melodic, salty and moving, her classical guitar tempts each listener out of the vacuum-sealed sterility of every day life; writhing in a fusion of Latin, Middle Eastern, and American folk. With a timbre as angelic as it is weather beaten, what resonates about Tadros’s vocals is that “they sound fresh, genuine, and from the gut” (Bootleg Magazine).
Born and raised in the small border town of Laredo, Texas, Aly developed an early fascination with the written word. Between flamenco lessons and theatre rehearsals, she spent hours memorizing, correcting, and transcribing the lyric books of her favorite artists; Fiona Apple, Ani Difranco, and Janis Joplin. “I was a self-proclaimed bookworm,” Aly jokes, “but not like you’d expect.” She recalls taping hand-written lyric sheets to the inside of her junior high textbooks and burying herself in the back of 6th grade Algebra.
An early interest in travel led Tadros to leave home at seventeen, moving between Turkey, Spain, and her father’s native Egypt. Immersing herself in Spanish, Turkish and Arab culture, she developed a keen ear for contemporary and traditional world music. She names Oum Kalsoum, Ali Farka Toure, Duman, and Silvio Rodriguez among her favorites. Years later, The San Antonio Current would attribute Aly’s unique folk-stylings to her extensive travel, calling her “born to fingerpick & execute a perfect cuban clave…a musical sponge that absorbs everything she hears wherever she goes.”
“By the time I was done traveling, the most obvious choice was to study politics and reclaim my chair as the back-seat dreamer,” Tadros recalls. But by her second year at Sarah Lawrence College, Aly was spending more time behind her guitar than her textbooks. “And then one night, as if a switch went off, I realized school wasn’t for me. So ditched cramming for a major final and wrote my first song. “
Aly made her home in Austin, Texas dedicating her full time to songwriting and live performance. She released her debut, “Things Worth Keeping,” produced by Duane Lundy (Ben Sollee, These United States, Vandaveer) in August 2009 amidst her first and second national tours. The self-booked tours spanned seven months, and twenty-five U.S. states. Summer of 2010, she completed her first international tour with Toronto-based Chloe Charles; including Germany, France, England, Ireland, and Italy. In addition to numerous national radio, print, and digital press; Tadros’s DIY release and tour received coverage from USAToday.com. Other 2009/10 performance highlights included CMJ, SXSW (unofficial), Folk Alliance, and Southwest Regional Folk Alliance. She is a three-time winner of the Eddie’s Attic Open Stage in Decatur, GA, where she will return in June 2011 to compete in the infamous Eddie’s Attic Shootout. Former winners include John Mayer and Jennifer Nettles.
Banned with a classical guitar and a cajon, Music Connection Magazine calls her stripped-down set “a mixture of humor, honesty, and playfulness [on] the stage…with the acoustic prowess akin to Amos Lee.” With the full-band, The San Antonio Current dubs the breadth of her live performance as “fierce…larger than life”.

Arbol Del Tule
May 25th
The Arbol del Tule is a Ahuehuete cypress, located in Oaxaca, Mexico. According to local Zapotec legend, it was planted over 1,400 years ago by a priest of the Aztec storm-god, named Pechocha. With the largest diameter of any tree in the world, it dwarfs the church whose yard it is planted in. The Arbol del Tule is one of seven extremely large and ancient cypress trees located in Santa Maria del Tule, but it is by far the biggest and most famous.
According to legend, Hernan Cortes, the conquistador famous for leading the Spanish conquest of Mexico, cried beneath the boughs of a cypress after the Aztecs defeated the Spanish on what is known as La Noche Triste, or the Sad Night, which took place on July 1st, 1520.
Because of the age and size of the Arbol del Tule, it is considered a unique natural monument, the source of much pride and reverence in Mexico. People from all over the world come to visit it, where school children lead visitors on tours of the images of animals and humans that can be seen in the tree’s gnarled trunk.
Because of the changing environment, the future of the tree is threatened, and many Mexican groups are fighting to protect the tree’s life. By preserving the land around the tree and promoting a more sustainable lifestyle, the hope is that the people of Oaxaca can work together to ensure that this beloved tree enjoys many more years of visitors and continued growth.
