Vumo Levin in concert in Durban
Guitarist Vuma Levin will be touring nationally to promote his new jazz album.
CTCH Vumo Levin in concert in Durban during the national tour of his second studio album, Life and Death on the Otherside of the Dream.
For the Durban leg of the tour, Vuma will do a special duo collaboration with renowned pianist, Neil Gonsalves, at Alliance Française, 2 Sutton Crescent, Morningside, Durban on Saturday, 21 May.
Asked about this album launch tour, Vuma said: “This music is, on the one hand, a personal reflection on the last seven years that I’ve spent in the Netherlands in a kind of self-imposed exile away from home.”
“On the other hand, it is broader reflection on the crises of the post-apartheid South African self at home, in the diaspora and in an age of globalisation.”
Vuma makes use of digital samples and prepared instruments and fuses contemporary jazz, rock, hip-hop, pop and South African musical forms such as marabi, goema and Nguni-Sotho choral and gourd bow song.
All of this hopes to capture and articulate the unique sonic landscape of South Africa and its people while still being sensitive to our place as agents in a global order.
