REVISITING OUR ARCHIVES: "Music in the Movement Against Time" – The Groundbreaking 5-Part Vinyl Series That Captured South Africa’s Revolutionary Sound! 🔥

Released in September 2023, this legendary compilation unearthed the defiant rhythms of the 70s, 80s, and 90s—where music became a weapon against apartheid and colonialism. A sonic archive of struggle, resilience, and unshakable groove, curated by South Africa’s most visionary collectors and DJs.

🎙️ Meet the Masterminds Behind the Series:

💿 Bantu Native (Lerato Lichaba) – Soweto’s vinyl oracle, fusing jazz, Afro-house, and raw storytelling into a liberation soundtrack. A true archivist of the people’s sound.

💿 Themba The Jazz Child – Orlando’s jazz guardian, digging deep into forgotten crates to resurrect the rhythms that fueled the movement. A selector with revolution in his veins.

💿 Mamodisa Mailula – Scholar and sonic activist, bridging academia and the dancefloor with rare South African gems. Her mixes are history lessons in motion.

💿 Africa Mabena – Jazz virtuoso and fashion icon, spinning records as sharply as he designs. An award-winning curator of sound and style.

💿 DJ Mbuso – Soweto’s original groove rebel, blending jazzy house with African soul. The architect of Orlando West’s sound—still inspiring generations.

Bam Jive Alternative Concepts Presents: "Music in the Movement Against Time"
Music, although not a “physical” item, has as much importance in describing culture as its physical counterparts, such as paintings, sculptures, and funerary objects, not only in modern times but in the past as well. Music acts almost in a way opposite to language. As language creates a barrier to one's understanding of culture, music is about opening up and welcoming people
Music can surround a time of year or describe a decade of questionable fashion: In fact, one could look to any aspect of life and probably attach a song or tune to that experience. So as our last act, legendary DJ Mbuso.
