SPECIAL PROJECT:
COLLABORATION WITH THE SAN PEOPLE, BUSHMEN OF
NAMIBIA.
On the 5th of November 2016, we embarked
on a musical research in the Kalahari Desert of Namibia. Our aim was to find out
more about the musical traditions of the San (‘Bushmen’) communities living in
the area of Tsumkwe, the largest town in this desolate area. After intensive
research we found a group of four grandmothers with a beautiful and diverse
repertoire. Their rhythms and polyphony are highly complex and has us left with
lots of homework. During the trip we collected audio-recordings and video
material. We’ve seen that the elders are in charge of these rich and complex
musical traditions, which reflect the world philosophy of the San people. It has
been an incredible experience so far and we are proud to announce that we will
continue with a full scope research in collaboration with the Museums
Association of Namibia. June this year we will return to the Kalahari to
collaborate with these four San grandmothers on recordings and performances
together. We look forward to sharing this rich and valuable culture with the
world.
