A south – south collaboration. Experts on Tanzanian traditions from Bagamoyo, meet with modern musicians from the city of Dar Es Salaam
Bio / Background
A south – south collaboration.
Experts on Tanzanian traditions from Bagamoyo, meet with modern musicians from the city Dar Es Salaam:
There has been a great many “north-south” collaborations in the history of world music, but all too often European and American musicans have been using the music from the South as exotic spice in their too dull musical dishes.
Not so with the Tramo project, which is a south – south collaboration where teachers from Bagamoyo College of Arts, experts on Tanzanian traditions, meet with modern musicians from the city.
With modern dance musicians from Dar Es Salaam, the traditional musicans and singers create a new and hitherto unheard musical fusion. Traditional ngoma dances and music blend with electric instruments and urban attitudes to a music that resembles nothing you have heard before.
↓ more ↓Curiosity!
The urge to explore
Creating new combinations
Making the hitherto unheard-of, heard:
Creativity & chords & colorful combinations
Deep tradition: Drums sounding and pots grinding
Urban instruments stepping lightly over old dance steps
Blending in with the ngomas and the voices
Instruments discovered and re-discovered
Old and new catching the rhythm and the melodies from each other
Creating new soundscapes
Children of spotlights and electronics
Merging with the bearers of tradition
The drums, the dancers, the minstrels of old
Finding their footing on stage with the keyboards and guitars
Teachers of tradition
Stars from city bars
Meeting at the crossroads of cultures old and new
Creating sparks of rhythms and melodies
New music rising like smoke from the fire
Heating the drums
Igniting and uniting
Players and listeners alike
