UK premiere
Lighting Up! revealed half a century
of South Africa’s most vivid and vibrant history through
music and images. Photographer Jurgen Schadeberg was hailed
in the 1950s for his work for Drum Magazine, showing the realities
of black South Africa. Heavy Spirits come from Pretoria and
have developed their music playing in the community halls
in the townships. Their original compositions draw on post
60s jazz, blues, oriental and African rhythms. Le Workshop
de Lyon is the creation of French art collective, ARFI. They
have an enviable musical empathy which is developed through
thirty years of playing together. Their music is still growing
and encompasses fresh rhythms and melodies that echo some
of the great South African anthems.
