(The congregation is requested to remain standing until the procession has left the hall.) 2 MANNENBERG The musical piece for the processional march is Mannenberg, composed by Abdullah Ibrahim. Recorded with Basil ‘Manenberg’ Coetzee, Paul Michaels, Robbie Jansen, Morris Goldberg and Monty Weber, Mannenberg was released in June 1974. The piece was composed against the backdrop of the District Six forced removals. It is named after the Cape Town township of Manenberg, which was established when the residents of District Six settled there. Mannenberg stands out as a uniquely South African piece: it blends together South African musical forms (marabi, mbaqanga and langarm) and American jazz. The song became a rallying cry against the injustices of apartheid and the particular destruction it wrought on communities. With its upbeat melodies and buoyant hook, the piece also serves a celebration of the resilience and endurance of humanity in the face of the brutalities of the apartheid regime. Mannenberg is arguably South African jazz’s most famous export, and still stands as an anthem of hope and of fortitude for oppressed communities. It also serves as a reminder of the inhumanity of what this country and this city endured, and of the legacies of that inhumanity. 3 NATIONAL ANTHEM Nkosi sikelel’ iAfrika Maluphakanyisw’ uphondolwayo, Yizwa imithandazo yethu, Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.

    Abdullah Ibrahim and the Politics of Jazz in South Africa Nusra Khan Jazz Has Had an Especial Role in the Social and Cultural Politics of South Africa

    Abdullah Ibrahim and the Politics of Jazz in South Africa Nusra Khan Jazz has had an especial role in the social and cultural politics of South Africa. This paper will trace its function in the political struggle waged by Black and Colored musicians against the apartheid regime, from the early 1950s until the 1990s, focusing on the work of one artist particularly. While Abdullah Ibrahim is by no means the only South African musician to use jazz for political goals, the development of his career provides an incredible example of the convergence of race, protest, and memory in the performance as well as study of jazz. Ibrahim’s musical career is entrenched in South Africa’s struggle against apartheid, and it is through this lens that I will examine his life and the role of jazz music in general. As early as the 1940s, jazz had emerged as the favored genre of the elite in South Africa. Professional musicians preferred American ‘international’ performance styles, and only a few African jazz musicians brought anything identifiably South African to their performances of American swing. The negative association between traditional African music and the ‘tribal’ past or rural present was begun by missionaries and had become entrenched in African society, most obviously under the Afrikaner’s government’s policy of “forcing Africans to develop along their own lines1”. Like the leaders of the American Harlem Renaissance, the African elite hoped that achievements in the artistic and intellectual fields would help break down the color bar2. Indeed the similar experience of Black Americans and Africans, of “two peoples under white domination,”3 may have increased the appeal of Black American style in amongst South African performers.
  • Music of Politics and Religion Supporting Constitutional Values in South Africa

    Music of Politics and Religion Supporting Constitutional Values in South Africa

    Article Music of Politics and Religion Supporting Constitutional Values in South Africa Morakeng E.K. Lebaka University of South Africa [email protected] Abstract The Constitution of South Africa has been taken as a model globally as it supports non-discrimination and human rights. The purpose of this study was to analyse the South African National Anthem and a secular political song to investigate how music supported the values enshrined in the Constitution, including religious freedom, during the transition from a history of apartheid towards 25 years of democracy. Politicians such as Nelson Mandela and religious leaders such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, black African spiritual practitioners, Muslim ecclesiastics, rabbis and others played a prominent role in a peaceful transition to democracy. Although there have been a few violent episodes like service delivery protests, farm murders, xenophobia and the tragedy of Marikana since 1994, in general South Africa has been peaceful, despite its history. This study concluded that the music of politics and liberation can be related to value systems and lack of conflict between ethnic and religious factions in South Africa since 1994. Keywords: South African Constitution; South African Anthem; struggle songs; reconciliation Introduction and Literature Review In 1994 South Africa transformed itself into a peaceful democracy without a civil war. Our neighbours—Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Angola—all went to war to achieve peace. South African Special Forces played a pivotal role in the South African Border War and were active alongside the Rhodesian Security forces during the Rhodesian Bush War (Scholtz 2013). Combat operations were also undertaken against FRELIMO militants in Mozambique (Harry 1996, 13-281).

  • Western Cape Jazz Legends

    Western Cape Jazz Legends

    Western Cape Jazz Legends Foreword The Western Cape Jazz legends which unveiled on 17 March 2011 pays homage to the rich jazz heritage of the Western Cape. The publishing of the Western Cape Jazz Legends Booklet gives a wider audience access to an appreciation of the contribution of these musicians who often plied their trade under the most difficult circumstances and with very little material reward. The short biographies are informed by existing literature and interviews conducted with family members. The list is by no means comprehensive but it does indicate our resolve to give homage, to acknowledge, to preserve and to promote the rich musical heritage of the Western Cape. Documenting our musical history not only ensures that the impact of the role of these legends on the musical landscape of the Western Cape is captured for posterity, but also that their stories serve as a source of inspiration to aspiring musicians. This booklet represents an important step towards the building of a socially inclusive Western Cape. These Jazz Legends united us around our common love for music and the unique sounds of Cape Town Jazz. Let’s celebrate their achievement and resolve that we will continue to build on this initiative to acknowledge our musicians who created musical melodies which filled us with joy, often leaving us in awe of their amazing talent and with a deep sense of self-worth and cultural warmth. Dr IH Meyer Minister of Cultural Affairs and Sport Western cape Government. Western Cape Jazz Legends 1 2 Western Cape Jazz Legends IntroductIon The Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport has embedded in its vision, “… A socially cohesive and creative Western Cape.” The arts and culture component of the department has embraced this vision and the Western Cape Jazz Legends project is reflective thereof.

  • Mannenberg": Notes on the Making of an Icon and Anthem1

    Mannenberg": Notes on the Making of an Icon and Anthem1

    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 9, Issue 4 | Fall 2007 "Mannenberg": Notes on the Making of an Icon and Anthem1 JOHN EDWIN MASON Abstract: Abdullah Ibrahim's [Dollar Brand] composition "Mannenberg" was an instant hit, when it was released on the 1974 album, Mannenberg is Where It's Happening. This paper shows that the song is a product of Ibrahim's efforts to find an authentically South African mode of expression within the jazz tradition, blending South African musical forms -- marabi, mbaqanga, and langarm--with American jazz-rock fusion. It quickly became an icon of South African jazz, defining the genre both within the country and overseas. At the same time, the South African coloured community invested the song with their own meaning, transforming it into an an icon of their culture and of themselves. In the 1980s, "Mannenberg" had a second life as an anthem of the struggle against apartheid. Some called it South Africa's "unofficial national anthem." Once again, the song acquired a new meaning, this time through the efforts of musicians, especially Basil Coetzee and Robbie Jansen, who made it the musical centerpiece of countless anti- apartheid rallies and concerts. As the paper traces this narrative, it is constantly aware of the profound influence of African-American culture and political thought on Ibrahim and the coloured community as a whole. Introduction On a winter's day in 1974, a group of musicians led by Abdullah Ibrahim (or Dollar Brand, as most still knew him) entered a recording studio on Bloem Street, in the heart of Cape Town, and emerged, hours later, having changed South African music, forever.

    Bio for Website Edit C Hammond

    MY EDIT: Stanley Sagov is a dazzling jazz pianist and composer, equally proficient on a number of other musical instruments as well as surgical instruments, as evidenced by his simultaneous full time career as a medical doctor. He never fails to amaze his colleagues in the music and medical fields with his ability to lead such an intense dual life as a physician as well as a musician. Dr. Sagov is releasing yet another CD from his home studio where he produces enough music to fill a full disc practically every month. He is also a top notch photographer shooting nature, people and places with the eyes of an unusually sensitive personality. Born in 1944, in Cape Town, South Africa, to a Jewish family who had immigrated there to escape the chaos and anti-Semitism that followed the Russian Revolution, the young Sagov grew up in the midst of the horrid South African regime of Apartheid and its resulting police state. Born with Gordon’s Syndrome, an extremely rare genetic disorder which can cause club feet, cleft palate, dysplasia of the hip and thumb-in-palm deformity, he suffered greatly during his first 13 years, as he was forced to endure sixteen different abnormality-correcting surgeries in London, New York and Boston. At school he was stigmatized and teased by other boys because of his awkward gait and the leg irons he had to wear for many years. At an early age, this extraordinary strain triggered a sudden insight in him. “This was not my fault,” says Sagov, “Suddenly there was a realization about this, around age 9.
