“We Cannot Arrest The Sound”

Tracing sound and sonic scapes as archive and knowledge production is a way to engage with music and songs as a connection through time; a map holding old memories and future stories.

Through African AD we explore African sounds and dancing as a constant connection and conversation with the cosmos. We examine how movement breathes life into things, how it is a call to maintain an equilibrium between reverie and reality. If music is an expression of spirit, then performance is spirit embodied. African AD thus explores the congregation of sounds and vibrations that permeate Africa by inviting artists, musicians, DJ’s to search the archives and put into composition their encounters and experiences via this platform.
