    VOL. 42, NO. 1 ETHNOMUSICOLOGY WINTER 1998 Mirror, Mediator, and Prophet: The Music Indaba of Late-Apartheid South Africa INGRID BIANCA BYERLY DUKE UNIVERSITY his article explores a movement of creative initiative, from 1960 to T 1990, that greatly influenced the course of history in South Africa.1 It is a movement which holds a deep affiliation for me, not merely through an extended submersion and profound interest in it, but also because of the co-incidence of its timing with my life in South Africa. On the fateful day of the bloody Sharpeville march on 21 March 1960, I was celebrating my first birthday in a peaceful coastal town in the Cape Province. Three decades later, on the weekend of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison in February 1990, I was preparing to leave for the United States to further my studies in the social theories that lay at the base of the remarkable musical movement that had long engaged me. This musical phenomenon therefore spans exactly the three decades of my early life in South Africa. I feel privi- leged to have experienced its development—not only through growing up in the center of this musical moment, but particularly through a deepen- ing interest, and consequently, an active participation in its peak during the mid-1980s. I call this movement the Music Indaba, for it involved all sec- tors of the complex South African society, and provided a leading site within which the dilemmas of the late-apartheid era could be explored and re- solved, particularly issues concerning identity, communication and social change.

  • Popular Expressions of Southern African Nationalism(S): Convergences, Divergences, and Reconciliations in South Africa and Zimbabwe
    POPULAR EXPRESSIONS OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN NATIONALISM(S): CONVERGENCES, DIVERGENCES, AND RECONCILIATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE By Blessing Shingirirai Mavima A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of African American and African Studies – Doctor of Philosophy 2019 ABSTRACT POPULAR EXPRESSIONS OF SOUTHERN AFRICAN NATIONALISM(S): CONVERGENCES, DIVERGENCES, AND RECONCILIATIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA AND ZIMBABWE By Blessing Shingirirai Mavima Popular Expressions of Pan-Africanism and Southern African Nationalism(s): Convergences, Divergences, and Reconciliations in South Africa and Zimbabwe is a dissertation study that traces the transformations, reveals the tensions, and critically analyzes diverging and converging trajectories of different manifestations of African nationalism, including ethnic nationalism, state nationalism, and Pan-Africanism using contemporary South Africa and Zimbabwe as sites of analyses. Focusing on the metropolitan provinces of Gauteng and Harare respectively, I use the study to interrogate how popular expressions of African nationalism have emerged and evolved in the neighboring nations during their anti-colonial/anti-apartheid struggles throughout the 20 th century, and how they exist today. Presenting a thesis that I call nationalisms from below, the research study reveals how these manifestations of nationalism are imagined, practiced, and represente d by the initiatives and actions of different members of the civil society including artists, activists, laborers, and migrants in the two countries’ contemporary politics and society. My findings lead to a nuanced determination of the factors that influence the intersections, divergences, and convergences of what I refer to in the study as Africa’s tripartite nationalist expressions and identities—ethnicism, African Nationalism, and Pan- Africanism.

THE CHANGING CONTEXT OF AFRICAN MUSIC PERFORMANCE IN ZIMBABWE CALEB DUBE Department of Anthropology, Northwestern University, USA Abstract This article is concerned with the historical transformations of Zimbabwean music performance, particularly popular music. It covers mainly the colonial period and to a limited extent the first ten years of independence. The article analyses music-making and performance as cultural production. The musicians involved in the process of cultural production are characterised as 'cultural workers', that is, professional and non-professional, commercial and non- commercial, rural and traditional, urban and modern individuals, whose occupation or part of their occupation involves culture. The article investigates the processes that have led to the evolution of what we may refer to as 'commercial cultural workers', that is, popular music performers who make part of or their living from the music. Among the processes behind the evolution are colonisation, urbanisation and transformations within the political economy of African societies. These processes occurred within the context of colonial institutions such as churches, the army, private companies,

    Surendran Reddy, Master of Clazz by Carla van der Merwe Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music Performance (50% Performance/ 50% Thesis) in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr. Hilde Roos December 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or on part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Carla van der Merwe December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Surendran Reddy (1962 – 2010) was held in high esteem as a composer, classical and jazz pianist and was awarded many commissions during his life. He was specifically known for his unique composition style which he called ‘clazz’ – a fusion of classical (Western art music), jazz, mbaqanga, mbira and popular music. However, there is an absence of research documenting his life and music. This qualitative study is a first attempt at documenting the life and work of Reddy. The study consists of two parts: first a biographical chapter and the second chapter discusses his unique style ‘clazz’, with references to its origins, influences and a discussion of selected works. What will be shown is how is his life and exposure to the racialized society in Apartheid South Africa led to his self-proclaimed egalitarianism and humanism and how these views are channelled through his music.

  • Lovemore Majaivana and the Township Music of Zimbabwe
    Lovemore Majaivana and the Township Music of Zimbabwe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author: Themba Nkabinde. Themba Nkabinde was an MA student and Graduate Assistant in the Centre for Cultural and Media Studies, University of Natal, Durban, during the early 1990s. He was formerly a lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe. He was killed in a car accident under suspicious circumstances in Zimbabwe in late 1992. This site is dedicated to Themba's memory. His work is reproduced here with permission of his family, as it deals with aspects of Zimbabwean music not previously studied. Date: 1992 Type of product: Uncompleted chapter towards an MA thesis. Published: No Copyright: CMS, University of Natal, and Durban. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Preface The story of Lovemore Majaivana is the story of cultural struggle and revolution. From the seedy days of rock cabarets in white Rhodesia, Lovemore "returned to the source", a return effectively marked by the 1983 epoch-making album, "Isitimela." Culture is the most critical element of revolution. The reconstruction of Zimbabwe economically, politically and socially cannot be achieved without an accompanying cultural shift away from the colonial and neo-colonial cultures that have marginalised black humanity and threatened its creativity. Lovemore's music is a fighting culture. It is for this reason that the music and the story of Majaivana is being recorded. Introduction Our work is an attempt of further scholarship on urban black culture. Those who know Zimbabwean music know only the ethnographic exertions of Hugh Tracey and Paul Berliner, or the occasional, though now frequent journalistic coverage of Zimbabwean musicians, either on radio or TV talk-shows on the BBC, or in magazines and newspapers, international or local, or on video by either American, British or New Zealand travelling journalists.
