It's all about the music; in reaction, in accordance and under the influence of the various traditions, the culture and their changing values. The soft trombones over the floating bolero melodies fuelled the red star on a slightly crooked green hat, the impulsive, intoxicating vibrance of afrobeat entrenched the importance of the individual and the desire for equality. Music doesn't merely represent the context, music is the context. The soft percussive voice of the traditional Puerto Rican slave instrument - the pumpkin, the expressive cacophony of sound through the rumba, the delicate intricate strings of the kora and the variety of voices - from guttural, to growling, floating, soothing and melodic - are the truest representation of the emotions, the intensity and belief. "May the efforts of Cape Town and Durban unite in the ever expanding mystery of light." |
