Following the June issue, here is the second part of the special contribution by Savvy Contemporary that engages with the question Why Africa? They do it through “some of the sounds that could embody, encompass and reveal some form and meaning of Africa” –writes Savvy’s founder and director Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung- “For it is through sound that the ancestors are kept alive and through rhythm that their pulses keep the beat.” Enjoy the tunes and the summer!
