A long time ago, in Arcadia, a land covered with golden sand, lived a Sultan and his beautiful daughter, Princess Shumaila. On the Princess’s eighteen birthday, her father arranged for her to meet three possible suitors. The Princess was unsure of these plans but with the help of her camel friend, Jamaila and the all-knowing Genie Alim, they will help her to devise a plan to make her decision easier.

Everything doesn’t go according to plan, though, because of the jealous sorceress Mara who will do everything in her power to become queen of Arcadia. Come and join the princess and her friends to see what plan they will devise to help Princess Shumaila and save the kingdom from the evil sorceress.

Lecture: “Mandela, You Are Finally Free: Music, Memory, and Madiba”

presented by Prof. Gregory Melchor-Barz (senior professor: Odeion School of Music)

Abstract:

Asimbonanga, asimbonang' uMandela thina [We have not seen him, we have not seen Mandela]

Laph’ekhona, Laph'ehleli khonal [In the place where he is, in the place where he is kept]

Johnny Clegg and Savuka

Over the years Nelson Mandela inspired musicians to write about his life and perform challenging musical responses to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. In this brief presentation, we will engage a variety of performers who performed musical tributes and challenges to the life and career of Madiba. We will also focus on the problematic issue of music for and about Mandela that was consumed outside in the South African diaspora (whether due to prohibitions or bans within the country or otherwise) vs. music produced as an internal musical commodity.
