#IfYouCantSeeMe

So this is how it's looking now:

25 June. Loit Sols & Churchil Naude
30 July. Mandla Mlangeni
27 August. Derek Gripper and Reza Khota
24 September. Provisionally Mac McKenzie, but perhaps Hilton can move here, and Burni Aman does October? This is also Coffeebeans official 10th birthday party.
29 October. Hilton Schilder, but maybe he does September and Burni does this gig?
26 November. The Khoi Khonnexion, feat Garth Erasmus, Jethro Louw, Glen Arendse.
31 December. This is something of a wild card. Potentially Ntlantla with As Is (featuring L2Z). That would be the right riot. Maybe Ernestine?
28 January. Keenan Ahrends
25 February. Ernestine?
31 March. State of Kassava, featuring Ncebakazi Mnukwana and Viki Mangaliso

I've also been thinking about Tebogo Louw, and his Zayn Adams tribute. The day before Zayn passed, we were talking over our backyard fences.  We spoke about the industry, about composing and performing original material, about artists he's been listening to. He says he's been thinking about a Zayn Adam's tribute. The next day Zayn passed. We found each other some days later in the same place. So what about Zayn ne? Yeah man, wow, he says.

So there's something about that tribute show, with some of Tebogo's own originals in the mix. Originally I was thinking this plus Ntlantla for NYE. But maybe this is something else.





And what about Ongoma? A blues night? Ongx plus As Is with Keenan and L2Z?

Interplanetary Cultural Travel

INTERGALACTIC CULTURAL TRAVEL As far as I can see, this is the first entry onto the internet that looks at cultural travel from an intergalactic point of view. The premise was: we can hardly engage with each other on earth as a single species, how are we going to manage meeting other species on different planets? What tools can we draw on in assisting us to deal with intergalactic cultural exchange? I was drawing on what Coffeebeans Routes has been doing since 2005 with cultural and creative travel, to provide a sense of how deep into the future we might be gracious intergalactic travelers with a deep respect for intergalactic cultural diversity. With space travel taking off, we need to be ready not for space travel 1.0 or 2.0 but space travel 10.0... and that means we have to already be beyond just the sites, but immersed in culture. How do we begin to understand how to interact with species that don't look like us, and don't confirm to the rules of our physical and i

Where are the centres of Cape Town?

The fishing village of Khayelitsha... or the city of Khayelitsha? Khayelitsha is a city. It has a bigger population than most European capital centres. It has five train stations of its own, and numerous taxi ranks. Apparantly, it is the fastest growing suburb in South Africa. Khayelitsha is a city. And yet, we call it a township. (Because it doesn't have a cathedral, noted one commentator!) Public art in the Khayelitsha CBD, between the courts and the public baths. When people talk about `Cape Town', mostly they mean the part of the city that we know as the inner-city, the old city. The City Bowl. The neighbourhood called Camissa. When we Capetonians say we are `going to town', we don't mean to Athlone town centre, or the CBD of Wynberg or Khayelithsa. We mean the old city at the foot of the table topped mountain. Senior citizens in Wynberg, like my neighbour the late auntie Annie on Ottery Road, would talk about going to `the main road', meaning the
