- THE RELIGION OF Pa** IT ON -
its the wee hours and im all here making an offering of myself under the title of 'baffoonious behaviour' but here it is. im inspired. and it probably wouldnt be me if it didnt unfold into some kind of essay. but if youve got the time please hear me out.
music represents so many things, we appreciate it, understand it in different ways. it means different things and serves different purposes in our lives. we relate to it differently. and thats okay. but there are moments, they do come, when music, in its creation and expression, moves beyond just making us dance or simply enjoy. it opens spaces in us, shows us things. takes us places we dont know and have never been. and our appreciation stands in awe. it does have a power. the kind that can comfort, educate, take us away or make us raise our heads and take in in slience. or screaming. it can tell us of the worst or the best in ourselves. and sometimes what it will do is expose to us possibilities.
if you are in cape town, please do me the favour. do me the favour of making your way to the a**embly on friday 3rd october around 8pm. go and see something. go and experience something. give yourself the space to trip. to be exposed.
its creeped its way in quietly. this business of so much lying beneath the surface. but. GO AND SEE 'BIBI TANGA AND PROFESSOR INLa**ABLE. they are based in paris but who they are is the connection of africa meets the world - without having to always necessarily be lumped under world music. its too damn funky for words.
the line up is designed for a moment. BLK JKS AND DUBVAULTS as supporting acts. go and experience this. these guys are some other. and there is something supremely humbling in the fact that we dont know who the hell they are. there is a whole world out there. get out your boxes. if you can please go and see this. it has taken some shyt to make it happen. do me the favour and make it mean something. make it worth it. share in it. that is the whole point. to show us something different. something that awakens an awareness within us. skill. synergy. craftmanship. where everyone, everyone is the star of the show. they are on point. if you can, experience this.
the lesson of making in roads where we havent travelled before.
GO AND SEE BIBI TANGA AT THE a**EMBLY THIS FRIDAY.
