«Africa Is the Next Destination» | Norient.Com 23 Sep 2021 22:01:30 «Africa Is the Next Destination» | norient.com 23 Sep 2021 22:01:30 «Africa Is the Next Destination» INTERVIEW by Thomas Burkhalter Jose Chameleone is one of the most successful musicians in Uganda. He tours throughout Africa and has fans worldwide. I meet him, his wife and children in a studio in Kampala. He talks about bad media coverage (he often is confronted with), the two most magic moments in his career, his brand endorsement with Pepsi, music as a form of therapy, and about how African music markets are growing stronger than ever before. [Thomas Burkhalter]: How would you introduce yourself? [Joseph Chameleone]: My name is Joseph Chameleone Mayanja, aka Jose Chameleone, the doctor. I am a musician all the way, from East Africa, representing Uganda and Africa worldwide. Yeah, I’ve been doing music for like 14 years now. If you ask anybody around the world that is interested in urban African music, they’ll definitely know who I am. [TB]: When you wake up in Kampala, what do you hear? https://norient.com/stories/chameleone Page 1 of 7 «Africa Is the Next Destination» | norient.com 23 Sep 2021 22:01:30 [JC]: I wake to the songs of birds. And often, I have a song in my head, not necessarily one of mine, but for example one by Radio & Weasel. My life is entirely music. [TB]: Why is music so important? [JC]: I usually create music when I feel down, when I’m lonely, when I need music to support me. That is my drive. [TB]: How do you deal with the business side of your career? As a star singer music might not be about emotions only anymore. [JC]: I’ve never looked at the commercial side of music. I’ve just been fortunate that my music has paid me. You have to remember that I’m from a community where opportunity is very scarce. 85% of the people in my community need a voice like mine. They are under emotional oppression. These people understand what I go through. I want to be recognized as a voice that spoke for them when they had nobody to talk to. So, with my music, I look at the majority. [TB]: In Europe, it becomes more and more difficult to earn money with music. How is the situation in African countries? [JC]: In Europe the music market is older than in Africa. In Europe too digitalization is stronger. When I’m in Europe, I play songs on YouTube, I don’t download them from iTunes – because you guys have fast Internet. In Africa, people still buy CDs and listen to them at home. Music is therapy, music is comfort, music is something people fall back to. I had a very big concert back in March, it was called «Tubonge Live». I played in front of 45’000 people who came to trash their stress there. They need music to rejuvenate, to be happy again. I mean 85% people here need music therapy. In Europe I don’t know the percentages, but maybe 15% need therapy. That’s the difference. [TB]: Would it be different if you lived in London, and not in Kampala? Is it better to stay here, or did you ever plan of leaving? [JC]: Let me tell you one thing: Africa is the next destination. The times when artists left Africa and went to Europe are mostly over. Back then we had no studios here. Now, we have everything in Africa. How are you going to represent Africa, if you live in Europe? You go there for a tour, or to record a song, but here is were we belong. Look how Afrobeats are capturing Europe and the rest of the world right now. The world has listened to salsa, reggae, hip-hop. Now the world starts to explore Afrobeats and Afropop. [TB]: There are changes indeed. Urban African styles like Kuduro, Azonto, Shangaan Electro, Kwaito are being played in clubs in Europe. https://norient.com/stories/chameleone Page 2 of 7 «Africa Is the Next Destination» | norient.com 23 Sep 2021 22:01:30 [JC]: Our music is growing, you see? Technology is helping us a lot to improve the quality of our productions. I don’t need to go to Jamaica to produce a reggae song anymore. I don’t need to go to the US to record a hip-hop track. I can do it a home. Artists here are hungry too: Nobody has had a chance. Now we are getting somewhere, bit by bit. [TB]: If you look at your market where does your income come from? Can you make like a list? [JC]: I make most money from endorsements and performances. Presently I’m the brand ambassador for Pepsi. I also try to re-invest as a person. I do a lot of real estate property. That’s how it works. [TB]: On the other hand, a lot of people earn from your work. [JC]: Yeah, here in Africa a lot of people survive on the music that I do. I mean from the producers to my entourage, the people who prepare my concerts. The list is endless. Everybody has a job, and everybody gets paid. I’m glad that I can actually create opportunity for many people. [TB]: When you started fourteen years ago, was international success already one of your goals? [JC]: No. Music was just a passion. I used to sing at home. My father played the trombone in a brass band, and my grandfather played the guitar at home. As a little kid I was watching «Top of the Pops» on TV and I wanted to stand on this stage too, in the disco light. Eventually, one of my songs broke through. People loved it and demanded for the next one, then the next one, and the next one. I became trapped into professional music. https://norient.com/stories/chameleone Page 3 of 7 «Africa Is the Next Destination» | norient.com 23 Sep 2021 22:01:30 [TB]: Media seems rather aggressive here in Uganda. Yesterday, I read a front story about you being beaten up by a jealous husband. And I keep reading about Ugandan musicians fighting each other. What is this all about? Is it maybe a little promotion trick to steer attention? [JC]: No, it isn’t. [TB]: So, how does it work? [JC]: Music business in Africa is still unprofessional. We have unprofessional players, and unprofessional counterparts. I saw this story that you are telling me about. It doesn’t make sense, and it is not even true. They have to write it, because Chameleone is a big asset to them. See, you have an Art and Design student at «Makerere University». When he drops out he looks for every opportunity that is there. He has a brother in the media, and he becomes a journalist, because he can hold a pen and write English. And yes, these fights you talk about: For people to understand each other, they have to disagree first. People disagree to agree. As I told you, African music is growing. At a certain point, dust will settle and things will become professional. People here have not looked at music as a profession, but as competition – especially upcoming artists think that Chameleone has been around for many years, and they feel that I am sitting on their seat. This can spark up a fight. [TB]: Do these media articles disturb you? [JC]: Initially these articles used to bother me a lot. I’ve asked people to https://norient.com/stories/chameleone Page 4 of 7 «Africa Is the Next Destination» | norient.com 23 Sep 2021 22:01:30 stop them, and they have refused to do that. Today, the only thing that bothers me a lot is that I am a father. My children can read. I have to explain to them what happened so that they understand the life I live. When I see in the morning that a newspaper has written something that won’t please my family, I make sure that I occupy them the whole day, so they don’t have a chance to read it. I’ve worked so hard for my life, and I should be enjoying this just like any other person that has achieved something. But unfortunately, I’m enjoying with a lot of loopholes. [TB]: Is anger an important emotion for you? [JC]: No, it’s more disappointment. «Badilisha» for example, one of my popular tracks, is a total emotional portrait. I have a wife, I have children, but I’m always on the road. Sometimes I imagine how they have managed to understand my lifestyle. My sons need their father to be around, my wife needs her husband to be around. But unfortunately she is used to living without me. So, in my mind, I imagined that one day she wakes up and says: «Joseph I love you so much, but I can’t be with you anymore, simply because your job cannot support me emotionally.» So, I live with this constant disappointment that I can’t have ample time for my family, and yet my music supports my family. This creates a lot of questions that I capitalize on in my songs. [TB]: Your kids and wife are here in this studio, and I see that you are very nice with them. To which extent are your kids an inspiration for your music? [JC]: They are a great inspiration. Children have honest opinions, and honest minds. Usually, my children are the first to hear my new recordings.

  • Elliott, 'This Is Our Grime'
    Elliott, ‘This Is Our Grime’ ‘This Is Our Grime’: Encounter, Strangeness and Translation as Responses to Lisbon’s Batida Scene Richard Elliott Text of paper presented at the IASPM UK & Ireland Biennial Conference (‘London Calling’, online edition), 19 May 2020. A video of the presentation is available at the conference website. Introduction [SLIDE – kuduro/batida in Portugal] Batida (meaning ‘beat’ in Portuguese) is used as a collective term for recent forms of electronic dance music associated with the Afrodiasporic DJs of Lisbon, first- or second-generation immigrants from Portugal’s former colonies (especially Angola, Guinea Bissau, Cabo Verde and São Tomé e Príncipe). Batida is influenced – and seen as an evolution of – the EDM musics emanating from these countries, especially the kuduro and tarraxinha music of Angola. Like kuduro, this is a sound that – while occasionally making references to older styles – is contemporary music created on digital audio workstations such as FL Studio.1 Recent years have produced extensive coverage of the batida scene in English language publications such as Vice/Thump, FACT, The Wire and Resident Advisor. In a global EDM scene still dominated by Anglo-American understandings of popular music, batida is often compared to Chicago footwork and grime (just as fado has often been compared to the blues). The translation is a two-way process, with musicians taking on the role of explaining their music through extra-cultural references. This paper uses these attempts at musical translation as a prompt to explore issues of strangeness and encounter in responses to batida, and to situate them in the broader context of discourse around global pop.

    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.

  • 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..

  • Shangaan Electro | Norient.Com 25 Sep 2021 12:53:55
    Shangaan Electro | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 12:53:55 Shangaan Electro by Thomas Burkhalter Die rasend schnellen Melodie-Pattern des neu entdeckten Stils «Shangaan Electro» aus Südafrika werden mit der «Minimal Music» von Steve Reich verglichen. Sie klingen aber ganz anders. «Shangaan Electro»: So nennt sich eine frisch entdeckte Musik aus Südafrika. Sie setzt auf verzwickte Melodien auf Marimba, Midi-Keyboard- Orgeln und Synthesizer, kurze repetitiven Gesangs-Samples (oft in Englisch), eher zurückhaltende Off-Beat-Rhythmen und Schlagzeug-Breaks. Das angeschlagende Tempo ist allerdings rasant: meistens um die 180 Beats pro Minute. Tänzer in clownesken Kostümen und Masken bewegen ihre Glieder dazu so, als hätten ihre Körper keine Knochen. Produziert wird «Shangaan Electro» von der Shangaan Bevölkerung (den Tsonga). Diese sind mehrheitlich aus dem südlichen Mozambique und aus der südafrikanischen Provinz Limpopo eingewandert und leben heute im Township von Soweto. Eine Reportage über die Szene gibt es auf dem Blog Nialler9. https://norient.com/blog/shangaanelectro Page 1 of 3 Shangaan Electro | norient.com 25 Sep 2021 12:53:55 Das Genre «Shangaan» existiert schon lange, allerdings als elektrische (und nicht elektronische) Musik. George Maluleke und seine Band gelten als Pioniere dieses Stils. Der Blog 27 Leggies: Bringing Tsonga Music to the Masses schreibt: «He is 52, born and bred in Bangwani Village near Malamule, and has (or had in 2006) four wives and 14 children. It presumably must be a struggle to support so many by music alone, as "he also has two mini-buses which he bought with the proceeds of his albums". Or maybe they are just for transporting the family down to the shops.» Hier zwei Stücke von George Malukele: «Nizondha Swiendlo» (2003) und «Tinhlolo» (2005): Ausserhalb von Soweto war «Shangaan Electro» lange weitgehend unbekannt.

    JOBURG PARTY: A snapshot of South Africa’s new youth underground A film by Roderick Stanley & Chris Saunders Starring Dirty Paraffin Richard the Third Desmond & The Tutus MJ Turpin Jamal Nxedlana (CUSS) Khaya Sibiya AKA Bhubessi. Joburg...
