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

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

28 February 2014

Odeion

12:10

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.
