Believe it or not, this is not a blog post about flying in to space on ten gazillion tons of jet fuel.
This is actually a blog post about a Music Intervention:
The Pan African Space Station (PASS) is a 30-day music intervention from September 12 – October 12, on radio and the internet, as well as venues across greater Cape Town.
It is an opportunity for Capetonians and visitors to engage up-close with the rich and complex web of creative expression which binds Africans across the globe.
To listen to PASS radio you can stream it online.
There are some artists taking part too:
Participating artists include:
the Lagos-Accra based Afrobeat fanfare Ayetoro; famed drummer Cindy Blackman and her quartet (New York); Trinidadian jazz-poet Anthony Joseph and his Spasm band; Electronica-jazz group Bibi Tanga and Professeur Inlassable (Bangui/Paris); Kinshasa’s underground poet laureate Bebson de la rue and his band Tryonix; Carlo Mombelli and his freestyle chamber jazz ensemble Prisoners of Strange (Jhb), Joburg’s art-rockers Blk Jks, Afrofuturist bluesman Madala Kunene (Durban), two Cape Town based collaborative projects, namely Goematronics and the all-female electro project Science Feline and from Joburg, Deejay blaq T as well as R.U.I.’s Dub Vaults by Rui Sorero and Paulo Chibanga.
