  • The Influence of Hip Hop on Zimbabwe's Urban Culture INFLUENCE of HIP HOP on ZIMBABWE’S URBAN CULTURE
    Sabeta aka Mau Mau: The Influence of Hip Hop on Zimbabwe's Urban Culture INFLUENCE OF HIP HOP ON ZIMBABWE’S URBAN CULTURE . The Influence of Hip Hop on Zimbabwe’s Urban Culture Shingirayi Sabeta aka Mau Mau Shingirayi Sabeta aka Mau Mau is one of the pioneers of Hip Hop in Zimbabwe. His debut single “Mau Mau” was released in 1997 and he followed his success with two albums, Mfecane (2001) and Coup D’Etat (2002). His early recordings defined Shona rap and was acclaimed for its politically conscious lyrics. Today, Shingirayi produces Gospel Hip Hop and his latest album appeared in 2010. The following piece is a transcription of his presentation at the Hiphop Symposium that took place at the University of Zimbabwe on February 27th, 2013, which is a personal reflection about the Zimbabwean Hip Hop scene, its beginnings in the 1980s and the directions it is currently taking. We live in a world that is dominated and heavily influenced by one thing that none of us can escape: mass media. If you live in a city or town in Zimbabwe it means that on a daily basis you will be exposed to what is going on globally through newspapers, magazines, radio, television, the computer and now – your mobile phone. So you effectively have the world on tap: just a click away. And just as Western culture as a whole filters to us here in Zimbabwe through mass media, so does the sub-culture of Hip Hop. Most of us know Hip Hop as a type of music, a dance, a style of dress, a way of speaking, an attitude.

    The meanings selected Rhodes University student-fans of hip-hop make of the gendered scenarios portrayed in designated South African commercial hip-hop music videos. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Journalism and Media Studies RHODES UNIVERSITY By Tamuka Phumelela Msawenkosi Misheck Mtengwa June 2019 Supervisor: Professor Lynette Steenveld ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5194-4093 ii DEDICATION Dedicated to the memory of my father Timothy Thembalami Mtengwa, my mother Siphetheni Mtengwa my sisters Elizabeth, Onai, Gamuchirai, and cousin Tim Mtengwa iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to extend my thanks to several people who have walked this journey with me. First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor Professor Lynette Steenveld, for her encouragement, compassion, patience and intellectual guidance. I would also like to thank Dr Pricilla Boshoff and Dr Alette Schoon for their academic support, Manyatsa Monyamanye for guiding me through the lingual nuances of South African vernacular, and my classmates, for assisting in various capacities. Finally, I wish to thank Luke Willetts and Dr Philip Santos for keeping me encouraged. iv ABSTRACT Hip-hop is frequently linked to misogyny and other forms of violence. This link, in many instances, is often presented outside of a critical understanding of complex underlying societal and gender dynamics. South Africa’s high rates of violence against women make it necessary to understand how hip-hop videos interact with society, as hip-hop, in its commercial form, has become a growing music genre in South Africa. Rhodes University, which has a notable student following of hip-hop, has experienced concerning levels of gender-based tensions as evidenced by the rise of the “fallist” movement’s #RapeCultureMustFall, #RUReferenceList and the suicide of Khensani Maseko, at the instigation of an alleged incident of rape, perpetrated by her boyfriend and fellow student.

  • The Village and the Town in the Mũgithi and One-Man Guitar Performances in Kenya
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 14, Issue 4 | September 2014 Jogoo La Shambani Haliwiki Mjini: The Village and the Town in the Mũgithi and One-Man Guitar Performances in Kenya MAINA WA MŨTONYA Abstract: The 1990s marked an emergence of a relatively new genre in the contours of Kenyan popular culture. The Mũgithi performance signaled a beginning of new directions, largely in Kenyan music and specifically in the contemporary Gĩkũyũ music in terms of themes and style. The performance, mostly an urban phenomenon dominated by Gĩkũyũ one-man guitarists, is a major site for negotiation of identities and incorporates the interface and interplay between the traditional and the contemporary, especially in the urban setting. This article highlights the inherent contradictions in creation and re-creation of urban identities as expressed in this music. The main argument is that identities are always contested and different socio- economic situations call for a negotiation, if not a re-negotiation of identities. Introduction Jogoo la shambani haliwiki mjini (“The village cock does not crow in town”) is a Swahili proverb commonly used in East Africa to capture the rural/urban tensions that characterize everyday life. An examination of popular culture reveals, however, that the rural/urban distinction captured in this saying is not nearly so clear cut, for urban identities, like all identities, are always contested terrains. This is especially so with the knowledge that an argument for a fixed identity is always problematic. As Clark contends, it is the popular cultural forms expressed in the urban landscape that provide an arena for engaging with and framing these complex debates around identity.1 Again, aware of the diverse interpretations of this tradition/modernity dyad, especially in postcolonial studies, this paper appropriates a geographical angle to delineate the urban/rural divide as expressed in the performance of Mũgithi.

  • Glocalization Trends: the Case of Hiplife Music in Contemporary Ghana
    International Journal of Communication 3 (2009), 1085-1106 1932-8036/20091085 Glocalization Trends: The Case of Hiplife Music in Contemporary Ghana JOSEPH ODURO-FRIMPONG Southern Illinois University, Carbondale Central Africans in suits, Indonesian soap operas, and South Asian brands are no longer inauthentic copies by people who have lost their culture after being swamped by things that only North Americans and Europeans “should” possess. Rather there is the equality of genuine relativism that makes none of us a model of real consumption and all of us creative variants of social processes based around the possession and use of commodities. ~ Daniel Miller, 1995, p. 144. Consumption and Commodities This paper responds to Kraidy’s (1999) proposal to communication scholars, specifically international and intercultural communication researchers, to utilize the “glocalization” concept to investigate global-local communication. This plea resonates with the views of certain international communication scholars (Straubhaar, 1991; Harindranath, 2003), who, despite acknowledging the limitations in the media imperialism thesis to analyze contemporary complex global-local communication, argues for a modification of the thesis. I deem the “glocalization” idea as such a corrective in that it allows for a holistic approach in investigating the nuanced juncture of contemporary global-local interactions. I utilize the glocalization concept to examine hiplife music, a Ghanaian reappropriation of U.S. rap music. Specifically, I investigate two Ghanaian-based

  • Embodied Performances in Nairobi Underground Hip Hop
    Imperfect Resistance: Embodied Performances in Nairobi Underground Hip Hop DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By RaShelle Ranae Peck, M.A. Graduate Program in Comparative Studies The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Barry Shank, Advisor Nina Berman Maurice Stevens Copyright by RaShelle Ranae Peck 2014 Abstract My dissertation project, Imperfect Resistance: Embodied Performances in Nairobi Underground Hip Hop, explores how hip hop practitioners in Kenya enact agentive subjectivity through the creative maneuverability of bodily performances. Non- commercial rappers operate from a post-Mau Mau underground cultural aesthetic of resistance, which harnesses the long trajectories of narrativized political struggles and underground hip hop culture to challenge categories of difference and circumvent disciplinary regimes that encode bodies. Underground performances materialize out of long trajectories of the performative practices of Congolese dance, US rap, dancehall, and Kenyan Benga, which include the knotty transnational history of the black body as propertied and commodified. Hip hop gestures and stances contest an environment where state repression, a restrictive music industry, and the struggle for economic security all work to create constraining conditions for many practitioners. These embodied enactments are heavily masculinized, and male and female artists use this embodied knowledge to both celebrate and challenge hip hop’s gendered spaces. Artists develop creative gestures and movements that are in conversation with both larger historic, cultural, and economic realities, as well as their racial, national, and gender subjectivities. Rappers create music videos, which espouse their subjectivities as artists and allow them to participate in a global rap culture.

  • Tracing the Mbira Sound Archive in Zimbabwe
    Tracing the Mbira Sound Archive in Zimbabwe Tracing the Mbira Sound Archive in Zimbabwe analyses the revitalisation and repatriation of historical recordings from the largest sound archive in Africa, the International Library of African Music (ILAM). It provides a postcolonial study on the African sound archive divided into three historical periods: the colonial period offers a critical analysis on how ILAM classifies its music through ethnic and linguistic groups; the postcolonial period reconsiders postcolonial nationhood, new/old mobility and cultural border crossing in present Africa; and the recent period of repatriation focuses on the author’s revitalisation of the sound archive. The main goal of this study is to reconsider the colonial demarcations of southern African mbira music provided by the International Library of African Music (ILAM). These mbira recordings reveal that the harmonic system used in different lamellophones (or mbiras) in southern Africa is musically related. The analysis of sound archives in Africa is an essential tool to envision the new ways in which African culture can be directed not only from postcolonial notions of nationhood or Afrocentric discourses but also for the necessity of bringing awareness of the circulation of musical cultures from and beyond colonial African borders. Luis Gimenez Amoros is a research fellow at the Centre for Humanities Research (CHR) at the University of the Western Cape.
