U subotu 28.2.2026. u 11 sati ponovno smo u gostima u KNAPu, Ivanićgradska 41 a na Pričama prije ručka, uz slušaonicu bogate i vibrantne glazbe iz Južne Afrike koju će nam prirediti naši sudionici radionica hrvatskog jezika Sheri Arnett, Ivan Lee Short i Ti-mé Lundall.
U glazbi JARa isprepliću se autohtoni ritmovi i tradicijske višeglasne pjesme te brojni drugi glazbeni utjecaji poput jazza i hip hopa. Jedna od najpoznatijih Južnoafričkih glazbenica bila je pjevačica, autorica, glumica i borkinja za ljudska prava Miriam Makeba, a.k.a. Mama Afrika koja je nekoliko godina bila partnerica vrsnog trubača, pjevača i skladatelja Hugha Masekele „oca južnoafričkog jazza“. Masekela je autor poznatih pjesama protiv apathejda „Soweto blues“ i „Bring him Back Home“. Glazba juga Afrike uključuje i mbaqanga stil te moćni gospel, kwaito i suvremenu popularnu elektronsku glazbu poput Amapiana koje govore o raznolikim kulturama i povijesti od anti-apartheida do suvremenosti. Kušat ćemo i rooibos čaj, dobiven iz biljke koja raste samo u Južnoj Africi.
SHINY THREADS 2 – SOUTH AFRICAN MUSIC AND ROOIBOS TEA, Saturday, 28.2.2026. at 11 a.m.
On Saturday 28.2.2026. at 11 a.m. we will be at KNAP, Ivanićgradska 41 – listening session of rich and vibrant South African music, hosted by our Croatian language workshop participants Sheri Arnett, Ivan Lee Short and Ti-mé Lundall.
The music of South Africa intertwines indigenous rhythms and traditional polyphonic songs, as well as numerous other musical influences such as jazz and hip hop. One of the most famous South African musicians was the singer, author, actress and human rights activist Miriam Makeba, a.k.a. Mama Africa, who was the partner of the excellent trumpeter, singer and composer Hugh Masekela, the “father of South African jazz”, for several years. Masekela is the author of the famous anti-apartheid songs “Soweto blues” and “Bring him Back Home”. The music of South Africa includes the mbaqanga style as well as powerful gospel, kwaito and contemporary popular electronic music such as Amapiano, which speak of diverse cultures and histories from anti-apartheid to modernity. We will also taste rooibos tea, made from a plant that grows only in South Africa.
