Guest: Ntone Edjabe
Listen to EpisodeIn this episode of Brown Atlantis, we follow Ntone’s mixtapes through trance-filled spatio-temporalities of Franco and T.P.OK Jazz, the infinite rehearsals of Sungura music, the kinetic architectonics of Ray Lema A’nsi Nzinga. Speculating on cartographies and porosities beyond music into sound and politics in Southern Africas.
Ntone Edjabe does his thing through Chimurenga, a project-based mutable object, workspace, and pan African platform for editorial activities. Founded by Edjabe in Cape Town in 2002 as a space for collective reflection and action, Chimurenga includes: a broadsheet titled The Chronic; The Chimurenga Library – on the writing of histories in spite of documentary archives, and on re-imagining of the library; the African Cities Reader; and the Pan African Space Station (PASS) – an online radio and pop-up studio.
