{Editorial}Namaste!

Dear Friends,

Let’s welcome festivities! As we are already in June it’s the time to celebrate Music again. All around the globe, and at the AFK as well, June is the month of Music.

Yes, the AFK devises this year, as last year, a hot program! The International Music Week will be held between June 21 and June 27. For the 2010 edition, and once again, we have invited a group from France for this very occasion. Remember its name, SAM SMALA, the band that will spark the Rastriya Nachghar off on June 27. SAM SMALA, which name is of North African origin meaning family, is a band of five incredible musicians playing their own compositions. Their inspiration finds it sources in Jazz, Gypsy Jazz and World Music. This fusion between World and Jazz gives shows displaying Jazz performances and World songs. But awaiting for this concert, we have created a rich and divers program.

On the June 21, official Music Day, we’ll have the pleasure to welcome you in Bhaktapur, on the Dattatraya Square, for an unforgettable series of open concerts starting at 3pm. Because the spirit of the Music day is to have free concerts in open spaces, we are, this year, extending the Music Week outside of the Ring Road, in Bhaktapur. The AFK in collaboration with Service Civil International Nepal propose you an exceptional program. And once again we collaborate with Nepal Music Centre for a concert in their premises with violin students from Narayan Gopal Music Trust and students of Nepal Sangeet Vidhyalaya (NMC Trust).

Since the International Music Festival also means offering young bands with a platform, the AFK organizes for the first time its music contest which winner will play on stage to open SAM SMALA’s concert at the Rastriya Nachghar! Fill up the registration, download it from our website: www.alliancefrancaise.org.np The AFK Music Contest will take place on June 23 in our premises in front of a jury made of professionals of music. Don’t miss the chance to meet with tomorrow’s stars!

We are also very pleased to welcome so many of you for learning French with us. Is French coming into fashion in Kathmandu?

French up your mind and stay tuned!

Elise Tassin Directror

SMAlA is a word which comes from North Africa and means “Family”, and evokes the feeling of warmth that family inspires. SAM SMAlA is like a family of musicians who play their own songs. These five incredible performers are inspired by jazz, gypsy jazz and world music. Their show is a mix of live jazz performance and World song. They create a fusion between jazz and world music. This band takes you from havana to Paris, from New York to Istanbul without pretention and with a full enjoyment of life. They want to share their musical spirit with everyone. They have been playing together for ten years before the creation of the band SAM SMAlA. They are all great jazzmen who have studied in some of the greatest music schools in the world, the Conservatory of Paris and the New York ‘s Drummers collective. SAM SMAlA represents a new French generation of jazz and song musicians. They are currently working on the band’s first album which will be released at the end of 2010.

{Courses}

Oh, là là ! neW sessiOn, neW recOrd !! We are very happy to welcome our 440 students for this new session. Thank you for coming to Alliance française de Katmandou to learn French but also meet people from different background and make new friends.

Every session more and more people become part of the "Alliance family". We are very proud to note that the amount of people speaking and understanding French in Nepal regularly increases.

Our team of experienced teachers will enable you to master communicative French, step by step, from the beginner levels to the advanced ones in a new Alliance : each class has been fitted up with new equipment and one more class has been open.

If you want to express your views, opinion, ideas ; share knowledge and gather information ; post your productions or discuss with the teachers and other students, you can use the forum on line http://entrenous-afk.frenchboard.com or on Facebook, the group : "Viens! Parle français". next session from 20th July till 30th september. Admissions from 5th July to 18th July 2010.

French sessiOn FOr treKKing prOFessiOnAlsIn Nepal, a lot of trekkers come from French speaking countries, creating a growing demand for guides able to work using French language. This is why Alliance française, with all its experience in educational field, propose a special program for trekking professionals, in order to teach them what they really need to know in French.

These classes (three levels of 40 hours each) are based on an oral approach, to develop all the oral skills needed by the professionals, to speak as naturally as possible.

Q&A"i don’t speak english", "i haven’t my slc" : can i register ?Any professional can join the classes, either the complete beginner or the one who already speak some French : the former will start from the beginning while the latter will take a test before the session starts to determine what his level is.

No need to be fluent in English to take classes : the levels are taught by Nepalese teachers and the classes are mainly conducted in French.

"But i don’t have much time" : when are organized the classes ?From 20th July to 16th August 2010 (two hours a day from Monday to Friday). Admissions from 5th July to 18th July 2010.
