Boskasie

Boskasie (Re) claiming the unjustly marginilised/discarded/unaccounted for, voice of our people. The creole (coloured) people of the Cape. Through music.

Through the active use of voice as (re)contructing narrative. Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
-Thomas Merton

Music and Dancing are two mediums whereby i am able to exploit this process.

May we carry the spirit of our Ancestor, Abdullah Ibrahim in our hearts. Of truth, of love, of ancient wisdom and knowledge, of peace, and of music. We need this now, more than ever before❤️ Tramakassie, for a moving tribute to a Master 🤲🏽

My heart sank upon hearing the news.

The last time I had the privilege of seeing Abdullah Ibrahim live was at the Blue Note in New York, 2022. I cried during almost every song he performed that night, somehow imagining it would be the last, and it indeed, was.

“He produced the musical accompaniment for the dark days we faced during our struggle against apartheid” - mum

Words will never truly be sufficient.
Rest in Peace, Abdullah “Dollar Brand” Ibrahim 🙏🏽🫶🏽

My brother first introduced me to ’s music when I was around 12 years old. I didn’t have the language for it then, but I felt it deeply. The way sound and words could speak honestly to the depths of resistance, refusal, belonging, and real life in the Cape especially.

Sitting in a room last week with OGs and thinkers who have consistently pushed South Africa’s artistic landscape forward was refreshing and a confirmation of why we do what we do 🔥

Grateful to witness, listen and to be part of this epic EP. Congrats boeta 🌻 support for this project via would be greatly appreciated 🌸
