Future Nostalgia: Atiyyah Khan with INDABA IS
22.12.20Tune in for Future Nostalgia with Johannesburg-hailing music journalist, DJ and researcher Atiyyah Khan, who digs out gems, past and present. The show is an extension and representation of the music collective she co-founded in Cape Town called Future Nostalgia, which has been hosting listening sessions in the city for the past seven years.
For this week’s show, Atiyyah takes us on a journey of some of her favourite records to wrap up 2020 including praise songs from Zimbabwe, taarab poetry from Kenya, folks songs from Mali, highlife from Nigeria, field recordings from Colombia, ululations from Tunisia, orchestras from Egypt, cumbia soundsystems from Mexico and more.
She features a special in-depth interview with pianist, vocalist and arranger Thandi Ntuli and Siyabonga Mthembu (The Brother Moves On, Shabaka and the Ancestors) about curating Indaba Is, an upcoming compilation featuring improvised music and jazz from Johannesburg, South Africa – due for release at the end of January via Brownswood Recordings. The show features a few tracks from the album including songs by Bokani Dyer and Sibusile Xaba.
