2021 Festival Strands

Setting Pace

E C ARINZE

Intimate portraits of African music icons and pioneers.

Named for John Coltrane's 1961 album, this strand examines some of the greatest African musicians, past and present, from a wide array of music genres. Abdullah Ibrahim, one of the world's greatest jazz composers and pianists, muses on being an artist, a sound scientist and a martial artist, alongside cultural freedom fighter Brenda Fassie.
