R350Dumza Maswana presents “Ingoma Emgqubeni”
Short description:
This work is a deep reflection on the old Xhosa songbook that I grew up listening to and ultimately chanting to from my grandmother’s house, where I had my first music-making encounter. This songbook has been kept through memory and now echoes in the open as a sentimental gesture to those who taught us how to sing. In essence, this work acknowledges that ingoma is a communal practice that accounts for all voices. This work is an invitation to all to come as one to chant and dance.
Dumza Maswana will also perform songs from his multi award winning albums.
