Why expensive synthesizers and complicated production software? Fulu Miziki means “music made from garbage” and stands for fat bass and explosive beats made from old canisters, rusty barrels and cheap plastic bottles. In the revolutionary spirit of Afrofuturism, the interdisciplinary collective from Kinshasa transforms a symbol of poverty into a cultural resource, inspiring people all over the world for whom partying, resistance and ecology are not a contradiction in terms. Costumes, masks and dances transform the irresistible kinetic energy of the music into a magical, audiovisual synthesis of the arts. After enthusiastic reviews of their first releases and several festival shows that boiled over, the time is finally ripe for their first big tour, for a collective freak-out and for hope for a fair and peaceful future.
Recommendation: Ntando Cele, Wasted Land
The bizarre, dazzling and political performance by Bern-based South African artist Ntando Cele confronts us with the human catastrophes of fast fashion and a Western feel-good ecology that creates reassurance with organic labels and the comforting promise of recycling. Together with the Egyptian composer Wael Sami Elkholy and three singers, Cele shows us how one person's sustainable dream becomes another's catastrophe ... A spirited, musical plea for a decolonial ecology.
