WMI Plus At Home with Thandiswa Mazwai and Farima Kone Kito
Thandiswa Mazwai is one of the most influential vocalists in South Africa and a self-described “rebel singer”. She began her career in 1996 with music groups Jack Knife and Bongo Maffin, one of the pioneering bands of the dance music genre Kwaito, a musical and cultural movement that originated in Soweto in the late 1980s celebrating the new freedom of post-Apartheid South Africa. She talked with Farima Kone Kito, a Burkinabe writer, researcher, and cultural producer, currently based in New York City, about her latest album "Sankofa" (a Ghanaian word meaning 'to go back and fetch what has been left behind'). Recorded in Soweto, Dakar, and New York City, the album features samples of field recordings, notable speeches, and indigenous instruments.

Sounds fantastic. Can't wait!
Viola d’amore, gadulka, and nyckelharpa have sympathetic strings and probably quite a few others. Wonderful haunting playing on the hardingfele.
Beautiful.
There's none like you guys. God bless you
2024 still listening to these beautiful voices
Greetings from Edinburgh - Gangar rocks!
Such a deeply juicy conversation thank you both for this nourishment! Could you maybe put the names of the other artists/poets/musicians you talk about near the end so we can research? Thank you!
Cant wait to see this show in a few weeks at GMU 🩷👏🏼👏🏼 I have a copy of his illustrated Shanameh and it is BEAUTIFUL.
The way my grandma used to love them🥹❤❤❤
Another constant reminder that spirituality is not theology... This African group command an unsurpassed spiritual awakening. Let's all rise from our castrated instincts onto a better, much more equitable awareness
