Sound Exploration

Ntsiki Anderson

The Spirit. The Land. Her Soul

Infecting the City Programme 5, 2023

This Ensemble Embo Ethongweni event directed by Ntsiki Anderson spoke to the duality of existence within the physical dimension ‘Embo’ and the spiritual dimension ‘Ethongweni’. It was sound exploration using a blend of African indigenous instrumentation, musicology, and knowledge - while also exploring the electronic scene of afro–indie, afro-folk, world, classical African and African fusion.
