  • Freshlyground Biography
    FRESHLYGROUND Freshlyground formed in early 2002, and is made up of seven talented and diverse musicians from South Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Fronted by the diminutive but dynamic Zolani Mahola, the band exudes a live performance energy that has been the bedrock of their success. The experienced rhythm section of Peter Cohen (drums) & Josh Hawks (bass) is complimented by guitarist Julio Sigauque, keyboardist Seredeal Scheepers, Simon Attwell (flute, mbira, sax and harmonica) and violinist Kyla Rose Smith. Although hailing from diverse backgrounds, between them the band’s members weave a musical magic that is highly infectious and undeniably groovy. In 2003 Freshlyground launched their debut album, Jika Jika under their own Freeground Records label, the immediate success of which firmly cemented the band as one of South Africa’s most successful young acts. Freshlyground released their second studio album Nomvula in July 2004. Nomvula was recorded and produced by JB Arthur and Sibusiso Victor Masondo. The album sparked interest from Sony BMG Africa, who signed the band and released Nomvula in September that year. Radio quickly picked up on the single ‘Doo Be Doo’ and the catchy song went on to become a crossover favorite amongst a diverse spread of stations and their listeners. ‘Doo Be Doo’ was the most played song in South Africa in 2005. The major success of ‘Doo Be Doo’ was followed by the singles ‘I’d Like’, ‘Zithande’, ‘Things Have Changed’ and the title track of the album ‘Nomvula’. The album sold 300 000 units in South Africa alone- earning it multi-platinum status. The success and broad appeal of the band was celebrated in November 2006 when Freshlyground won the MTV Europe Award in the category Best African Act.

  • I “'Cause This Is Africa”: Contesting Visual, Sonic, and Performed
    “’Cause this is Africa”: Contesting Visual, Sonic, and Performed Representations of Africa in Paris, Montreal, and the 2010 South African World Cup Julia G. Day A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2017 Reading Committee: Christina Sunardi, Chair Shannon Dudley Richard Watts Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music i ©Copyright 2017 Julia G. Day ii University of Washington Abstract “’Cause this is Africa”: Contesting Visual, Sonic, and Performed Representations of Africa in Paris, Montreal, and the 2010 South African World Cup Julia G. Day Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Christina Sunardi Music This dissertation examines ways in which representations of contemporary Africa are created, perpetuated, subverted, and reinforced through African popular music in Paris, France, Montreal, Canada, and the 2010 World Cup Games in South Africa. As a response to the notion established by scholars such as Achille Mbembe (2001) and Kofi Agawu (2003) who assert that postcolonial discourse on Africa creates a binary that reinforces the otherness of Africa, I suggest that the notion of Afropolitanism provides an alternative approach to understanding representations of contemporary Africa in a way that recognizes the multiplicities of transnational identities and cultural products without writing out the importance of the African continent. I view the artists whose music I analyze as contributors, whether intentionally or not, to a sense of Afropolitanism that straddles multiple levels of representation in a single event. I ultimately argue that representation of contemporary Africa is complex and that Afropolitanism as a framework recognizes the complexities of these representations.

  • Global Summit on Facing the Violent Past
    GLOBAL SUMMIT ON FACING THE VIOLENT PAST AGENDA | OCTOBER 20-25 History, as nearly no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities, and our aspirations. –James Baldwin KEY QUESTIONS: • What roles can history education play to support peacebuilding, positive intergroup and intragroup relations, and democratization? How can it support the processes of rehumanization and the reclamation of dignity? • How do we help young citizens navigate the complex legacies of a violent past that have not been redressed? How do we prepare their teachers to do this work with confidence and compassion? • How does facing the violent past support adolescents’ civic and moral development? Facing History and Ourselves is an international educational and professional development organization. We work with educators and representatives of civil society organizations in over 110 countries and maintain partnerships around the world. Facing History and Ourselves uses lessons of history to challenge teachers and their students to stand up to bigotry and hate. We provide content, a range of teaching strategies, and face to face and online support. We are creating generations of engaged, informed, and responsible decision makers who will uphold democracy and nurture civil society.
