Sho Madjozi
Hannah Elsisi presents Chromesthesia
Xitsonga, the Bantu language spoken by the Tsonga people of South Africa, is a dialect ripe with oral tradition - folktales, proverbs, and songs. South African rapper, singer, songwriter, actress, and poet Sho Madjozi is adding onto this tradition and propelling it into the future. By combining hip-hop hooks with gqom-infused melodies on releases such as 2020’s mixtape ‘What A Life’ and a star-making COLORS appearance, Sho Madjozi has cemented her reputation as a singular global cultural force - and not just through music; we didn’t even cover her best-selling children’s book!
British-Egyptian award-winning social and intellectual historian Hannah Elsisi presents Chromesthesia, a 13-hour durational performance. From Rio to Cairo, Miami to Kampala, Chromesthesia tracks Afro-diasporic rhythms and explores the history that undergirds Afro-descendant electronic music.
