DURBAN SINGS rough radio" (13:33)<\/strong><\/p>\n

MP3<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

presents a juxtaposition of two re-mixes: one, like a preface and audio-active analysis, mixed from a 45 mins SABC talk show announced as ‚The Reunion‘, and ‚a historic gathering of leading negotiators who helped to secure the end of Apartheid in SA‘; the other, a re-mix from the open on-line archive of the DURBAN SINGS audio media and oral history project at www.durbansings.wordpress.com<\/a>. The piece speaks and sings, in a cluster of voices and languages for a switch to another sound of radio, and another sound of history for that matter; and it performs the switch – however rough it may be. The struggle for freedom of the African people is not over with the end of Apartheid in SA. It’s on-going and making history here and now; whether this history enters the sound proof walls of SABC and the likes, or not.
\nDURBAN SINGS is a regional audio media and oral history project, an outreach initiative of the Centre for Civil Society (CCS) at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) www.ukzn.ac.za<\/a>; and a sound network joining hemispheres via audio correspondence between listeners; building a listening bridge between communities, artists and activist groups in KZN and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
