Special feature. Historical report: Castanets ('Estampa', 1931): 9:33am 1 review music, flamenco, castanets •http://www.flamenco-world.com/magazin...; Nice article reprint from 1931 on castanets, shell-like percussives that I admit I've been reluctant to appreciate.

# Between 2001 and 2005, 10 non-oil producing countries registered annual GDP growth rates above 5 per cent, including such agricultural nations as a Burkina Faso, Ethiopia and Mali.

# About 20 per cent of sub-Saharan Africa's GDP is generated by agriculture. In at least 20 countries, more than 70 per cent of the labour force works in the sector.

# More than one quarter of African exports were headed to Asia in 2005, compared to 9 per cent in 1990 and 14 per cent in 2000.

# The proportion of people living on less than US $1 per day in sub-Saharan Africa - 41.1 per cent of the population - has been falling, but less rapidly than in other developing regions. That figure is still more than twice the level seen in the developing world.

# More than 500 million sub-Saharan Africans lack access to modern energy. Per capita electricity consumption in South Africa is about 100 times the average consumption in Sahel countries.
