Visions of a New World – Ghana | Norient.Com 4 Oct 2021 22:32:27 Visions of a New World – Ghana PLAYLIST by Thomas Burkhalter Visions of a New World – Ghana | norient.com 4 Oct 2021 22:32:27 Visions of a New World – Ghana PLAYLIST by Thomas Burkhalter Ghana offers a great range of contemporary music, inspired by international trends like trap and dancehall, mixed with local rhythms and melodies, sung in different languages, with topics related to corruption, to religion to champagne. Enjoy this round up with recent tracks and video clips. The Film «Contradict» will be available for streaming on demand throughout all of 2021 via Vimeo. In Ghana they call it hiplife or just afropop or local songs, in Anglophone African Diasporas they sometimes use the term afrobeats. These popular sounds co-emerged with privatisation of media in Ghana in the early 1990s, promoted through then new private radio stations, produced in small studios by pioneers like Reggie Rockstone. Local rappers started to spit lyrics in local languages like Ewe, Ga or Pidgin, and thanks to digitalization of production and promotion these sounds became less and less music of an elite, but a sound through which young people from different regions and backgrounds in Ghana aspire to reach status, popularity, fame, money, success. These tracks at times use local rhythms, or melodies and harmonies from local highlife music – the former popular music in Ghana. Others are full of international flavours: dancehall, ragga, reggae, and recently US American trap – similar to a lot of rap music worldwide that today is inspired by OG Maco and other trap rappers. Some of these tracks and clips are socially and politically engaged. Some celebrate lifestyle in big villas, swimming pools, https://norient.com/podcasts/visions-of-a-new-world-ghana Page 1 of 6 Visions of a New World – Ghana | norient.com 4 Oct 2021 22:32:27 expensive cars, and champagne. Others deal with slavery, the colonial past, and with religion – especially with the fast growing number of Pentecostal churches in the region. Others again are full of exoticism: videos play in traditional villages, and they picture lions, zebras or giraffes – similar to house music videos in South Africa (see article by Percy Mabandu on Norient). Today, these sounds make around 40% of the Ghanaian music market, while most of the rest is Gospel music (see article by Florian Carl on Norient). Today’s big stars – i.e. Sarkodie, Fuse OGD, R2Bees or D-Black – became ambassadors of international brands and produce expensive clips in Ghana and abroad. The music again is well connected to Ghanaian Diasporas in the US and Europe. Many singers, producers and DJ’s lived abroad at least once in their lives, and some do so today, but try to keep one foot into Ghana. Overall this music is a sign for changes on many levels: of growing transnational networks between Africa and the world, of new business ideas in music production and consumption, for changing power and speaking roles in Ghanaian society (usually the elders spoke, now young rappers and poets do), for the vision that international urban music trends increasingly come in fact from African cities. Think of Kuduro, Azonto or Mahragan. «They only hear you when you show them nudes They never wanna hear you when it’s about the people Never wanna hear you when it’s about the country Never wanna hear you Never wanna hear you» (Poetra Asantewa «Naked Listeners») Recommended Literature → Jesse Weaver Shipley. 2013.

Quotes from Ghana and new FOKN Bois Album Few quotes collected for the film project «contradict» and for our book and exhibition project Seismographic Sounds- Visions of a New World (book / exhibition) And: The new album by the FOKN Bois is out. «We were never raised to care about our country. We were raised to know whatever we are learning is for us to get a visa to somewhere else, or to go to heaven.» Wanlov the Kubolor, FOKN Bois «In Ghana, you don’t make money from selling your songs online or selling them on the market: everybody is downloading or bluetoothing. As an artist you get power https://norient.com/podcasts/visions-of-a-new-world-ghana Page 3 of 6 Visions of a New World – Ghana | norient.com 4 Oct 2021 22:32:27 from the number of downloads of your songs. If your song has over 10,000 downloads, it means that it is popular. You can then try to push yourself on radio stations and get TV interviews. As soon as the song is on everybody’s lips you’ll get shows. And when you get shows, you get paid. All famous Ghanaian musicians or bands like Sarkodie, D-Black, or R2bees made it because they’ve been able to publicize their work and sell themselves well on the Ghanaian market. Big companies are coming in and supporting artists in Ghana. Sarkodie now has brand endorsements from Samsung, Fan Milk and other global companies. I make my living as a DJ, writing adverts, editing, doing voice-overs, hosting concerts and finally being a brand ambassador for companies like DSTV, Smirnoff, and some clothing lines.» DJ Black (Ghana) «FOKN Bois is a place where we say things that people are thinking but never saying.» M3nsa, FOKN Bois «We do it as a self-therapy. If you guys have the power to walk around at 3 am with loudspeakers on the street and wake us up with your message from god, then we should also be able to express our views. And it comes out as teasing, making fun, and people say blasphemy. But we don’t know any other way to win. We make fun as our form of self-expression, so that we remain sane.» Wanlov the Kubolor, FOKN Bois https://norient.com/podcasts/visions-of-a-new-world-ghana Page 4 of 6 Visions of a New World – Ghana | norient.com 4 Oct 2021 22:32:27 The film «Contradict» by Peter Guyer and Thomas Burkhalter was officially selected at the Norient Film Festival NFF 2021.

    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), Book Review 1501–1504 1932–8036/2013BKR0009 Halifu Osumare, The Hiplife in Ghana: West Africa Indigenization of Hip-Hop, New York, NY: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012, 219 pp., $85.00 (hardcover). Reviewed by Angela Anima-Korang Southern Illinois University Carbondale Ghana’s music industry can be described as a thriving one, much like its film industry. The West African sovereign state is well on its way to becoming a force to reckon with on the international music market. With such contemporary rap artists as Sarkodie, Fuse ODG (Azonto), Reggie Rockstone, R2Bs, and Edem in its fold, Ghana’s music is transcending borders and penetrating international markets. Historically, Ghana’s varying ethnic groups, as well as its interaction with countries on the continent, greatly influences the genres of music that the country has created over the years. Traditionally, Ghana’s music is geographically categorized by the types of musical instruments used: Music originating from the North uses stringed instruments and high-pitched voices; and music emanating from the Coast features drums and relatively low-pitched voice intermissions. Up until the 1990s, “highlife” was the most popular form of music in Ghana, borrowing from jazz, swing, rock, soukous, and mostly music to which the colonizers had listened. Highlife switched from the traditional form with drums to a music genre characterized by the electric guitar. “Burger-highlife” then erupted as a form of highlife generated by artists who had settled out of Ghana (primarily in Germany), but who still felt connected to the motherland through music, such as Ben Brako, George Darko, and Pat Thomas.

  • We're Taking Africa to the World
    “We’re Taking Africa to the World”: Commercial Self- fashioning as a Vehicle for Collective Aspirations in the 21st Century JAANA SERRES “It’s finally cool to be an ‘African’” (Kaumbutho). This 2017 blog post by Kenyan poet Kimathi Kaumbutho echoed the performative claims heard throughout the African middle class in the wake of the changing narrative about “Africa,” from “The hopeless continent” (The Economist 2000) to “Africa rising” (The Economist 2011). Elements and signs of “Africanness” have indeed been increasingly featured in “global” popular culture, from clothing lines to films, and even the practice of capitalism is rebranded with “African traditional principles” through the Africapitalist and Ubuntu “economic philosophies.” But as suggested by Kaumbutho’s list of achievements “Africans can take pride in,” one cultural medium has proven particularly instrumental to this new wave of positive identification with “Africa”: Nigerian music. As Nigeria was arguably entering a post-oil era in the 2010s (Burns and Owen), its renewed popular music industry benefitted from the development of digital technology and the expression of corporate interest by telecom companies, retail brands, and foreign-educated young professionals, making it an exemplary manifestation of a new pan-Africanism founded on neoliberal aspirations (Shipley Living the Hiplife). Global professional services firm PwC announced that total revenue for Nigeria’s entertainment and media industry was expected to grow to US$8.1 billion in 2019, calling it the “fastest-expanding major market globally” (Oxford Business Group). However, only a very small share of this revenue occurs from the actual sale of cultural products (PwC 22).

  • Imagination and the Practice of Rapping in Dar Es Salaam
    David Kerr THUGS AND GANGSTERS: IMAGINAtiON AND THE PRACtiCE OF RAppiNG IN DAR ES SALAAM abstract Since the arrival of hip hop in Tanzania in the 1980s, a diverse and vibrant range of musical genres has developed in Tanzania’s commercial capital, Dar es Salaam. Incorporating rapping, these new musical genres and their associated practices have produced new imaginative spaces, social practices, and identities. In this paper, I argue that rappers have appropriated signs and symbols from the transnational image of hip hop to cast themselves as ‘thugs’ or ‘gangsters’, simultaneously imbuing these symbols with distinctly Tanzanian political conceptions of hard work (kazi ya jasho), justice (haki) and self-reliance (kujitegemea). This article examines how the persona of the rapper acts as a nexus for transnational and local moral and ethical conceptions such as self-reliance, strength, and struggle. Exploring the complicated, ambiguous, and contradictory nature of cultural production in contemporary Tanzania, I argue that rappers use the practice of rapping to negotiate both the socialist past and neo-liberal present. Drawing on the work of De Certeau and Graeber, I argue that rappers use these circulating signs, symbols, and concepts both tactically and strategically to generate value, shape social reality and inscribe themselves into the social and political fabric of everyday life. Keywords: hip hop, popular music, Tanzania, Ujamaa, value INTRODUCTION as well as our individual hopes and ambitions. Octavian and Richard, who as rappers adopt It is mid-morning in June 2011 and I am sat with the names O-Key and Kizito, are both students two ‘underground’ rappers, Octavian Thomas and live close to where we meet.

  • Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom | Norient.Com 27 Sep 2021 03:45:07
    Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom | norient.com 27 Sep 2021 03:45:07 Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom by Philipp Weichenrieder Some call it a hybrid of breakbeat and house, some call it «apocalyptic riot music». But for the producers from the townships of Durban, South Africa, Gqom is more than a clubmusic style. It feels like being dragged into a black hole. A single low-pitched string sound is steadily, ominously and threatening hovering in the background. It is creating an eerie atmosphere, a thick and somewhat physical perceptible veil that is set swinging by stumbling kick drums and develops a strangely light and floating movement which at the same time is raw and fiercely pushing. This contradictory dynamic is characteristic and special about a yet young genre of electronic dance music evolving out of the townships of Durban which is also causing a stir in Europe: Gqom. The Zulu word «Gqom», the combination of g and q articulated with a click made with the tongue (can be heard here), means either «drum», «noise», «bucket» or «music». Sometimes the term is also explained as an onomatopoeic equivalence to the noise of a stone falling on a floor tile. This stands for the raw sound with its repetitive and hypnotizing drum rhythm in its centre. Gqom music is not about feel-good harmonies, it is about trance. Pioneering producers like 21-years-old DJ Lag or 26-years-old Sbucardo also https://norient.com/index.php/stories/soundtrack-of-the-townships-gqom-from-durban Page 1 of 5 Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom | norient.com 27 Sep 2021 03:45:07 describe Gqom as «3-Step».

  • Alternate African Reality. Electronic, Electroacoustic and Experimental Music from Africa and the Diaspora
    Alternate African Reality, cover for the digital release by Cedrik Fermont, 2020. Alternate African Reality. Electronic, electroacoustic and experimental music from Africa and the diaspora. Introduction and critique. "Always use the word ‘Africa’ or ‘Darkness’ or ‘Safari’ in your title. Subtitles may include the words ‘Zanzibar’, ‘Masai’, ‘Zulu’, ‘Zambezi’, ‘Congo’, ‘Nile’, ‘Big’, ‘Sky’, ‘Shadow’, ‘Drum’, ‘Sun’ or ‘Bygone’. Also useful are words such as ‘Guerrillas’, ‘Timeless’, ‘Primordial’ and ‘Tribal’. Note that ‘People’ means Africans who are not black, while ‘The People’ means black Africans. Never have a picture of a well-adjusted African on the cover of your book, or in it, unless that African has won the Nobel Prize. An AK-47, prominent ribs, naked breasts: use these. If you must include an African, make sure you get one in Masai or Zulu or Dogon dress." – Binyavanga Wainaina (1971-2019). © Binyavanga Wainaina, 2005. Originally published in Granta 92, 2005. Photo taken in the streets of Maputo, Mozambique by Cedrik Fermont, 2018. "Africa – the dark continent of the tyrants, the beautiful girls, the bizarre rituals, the tropical fruits, the pygmies, the guns, the mercenaries, the tribal wars, the unusual diseases, the abject poverty, the sumptuous riches, the widespread executions, the praetorian colonialists, the exotic wildlife - and the music." (extract from the booklet of Extreme Music from Africa (Susan Lawly, 1997). Whether intended as prank, provocation or patronisation or, who knows, all of these at once, producer William Bennett's fake African compilation Extreme Music from Africa perfectly fits the African clichés that Binyavanga Wainaina described in his essay How To Write About Africa : the concept, the cover, the lame references, the stereotypical drawing made by Trevor Brown..

  • Reimagining the City, Rewriting Narratives: Music, Suburban Youths, and Inner City Redevelopment in Johannesburg, Circa 2015
    Reimagining the City, Rewriting Narratives: Music, Suburban Youths, and Inner City Redevelopment in Johannesburg, circa 2015 Amanda Mullins A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Research in Music Johannesburg 2016 ii Abstract This research explores the influence that inner city redevelopment in Johannesburg has had on both its music scenes and the identities of those participating in the music scenes, particularly young participants from Johannesburg’s suburbs who did not interact with the city before its redevelopment. Understanding the city’s history as well as the current lived and imagined divides between its suburbs and inner city illuminates its fragmented nature and informs the significance of the presence of suburban youths in today’s inner city music scenes. Personal and collective narratives gathered from participants of these inner city music scenes provide insight into the city’s spatial, social, and musical transitions, adding subjective voices to the city’s complex and ever- evolving history. The use of culture-led regeneration (within cultural clusters), as a model of redevelopment, has aided in the success of attracting new audiences to the inner city once eschewed by suburbanites, providing grounds for new experiences and interactions within an increasingly diverse social sphere. Due to this, the music’s diversity within these spaces is expanding too. The role of music – and in particular, alternative music – in enticing suburban youths to the inner city requires an understanding of why ‘alternative’ (or arguably, creative) people are often drawn to urban spaces, and in doing so, often become main contributors to the accomplishments and successes of redevelopment initiatives.

  • Reclaiming a Cultural Identity: Ghanaian Hip-Life and the Bronx Stephen Erdman, FCRH
    Reclaiming a Cultural Identity: Ghanaian Hip-Life and the Bronx Stephen Erdman, FCRH Dr. Mark Naison, Departments of History and African & African American Studies Faculty Advisor Stephen Erdman, FCRH ’13, is originally from Allentown, PA. Stephen learned about the Bronx’s growing Ghanaian population through his coursework in Fordham’s urban studies program. During the Spring 2012 semester, he studied abroad in the Dominican Republic, where he further developed an interest in cultures of the African diaspora. He plans to pur- sue a master’s degree in urban planning after graduating from Fordham. Acknowledgments: I would like to thank Dr. Mark Naison for developing my interest in this topic, guiding my research, and reviewing drafts of my paper. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge Mr. Felix Sarpong and Mr. Collins Owusu for providing an immense amount of background information, personal stories, and further sources of information that helped to shape this paper. Abstract: Since emerging from the South Bronx three decades ago, the American hip-hop movement has de- veloped an international following. While contributing to cultural homogenization, the dissemina- tion of American hip-hop has also spawned new genres abroad that showcase local musical styles. The creation of the hip-life movement in Ghana illustrates this phenomenon. This essay examines the exportation of American hip-hop to Africa and the ways that musicians integrated hip-hop with indigenous styles to create “hip-life.” Furthermore, the essay evaluates how trends in African immi- gration to the Bronx have allowed hip-life to establish itself in the United States. The author employs news articles and interviews with a Ghanaian-American music producer and DJ in the Bronx to help reveal the ways in which popular culture is transmuted between two different societies.
