Bant Mag. publish Zoom conversation between Matana Roberts and Moor Mother about new paths, music and racism

Ahead of Le Guess Who? 2021, Turkey's Bant Mag. hosted a Zoom chat between irreverent saxophonist and LGW21 curator Matana Roberts and LGW18 curator and musician/activist Moor Mother.

During their conversation, the artists talk about new ways to reinvent and produce music during the pandemic, the music industry and Black Lives Matter. In an especially difficult period for everyone they continue to seek inspiration in life stories and to strengthen themselves in the face of the challenges of the new era, while even wondering if this really is a new era.

Matana Roberts is one of the curators for Le Guess Who? 2021, together with John Dwyer (Osees), Lucrecia Dalt, Midori Takada, and Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie, The Microphones). All curators will perform at the festival; their curated programs will be announced later.
