Sunday 22 November. SeekArt presents Future Ghoema at Cape Town Jazz Club.Africa, jazz, Cape Town, groove. Music written to move you before it explains itself.
Future Ghoema is Blake Hellaby’s latest project. Original South African songs built on the ghoema pulse, sung by Hlelo Zungu, with three voices behind him and a young Cape Town rhythm section, raised on these rhythms and raring to play them.
Ghoema came out of this city, but the pulse is everywhere. This project goes looking for it inside other genres and keeps finding it. It is a universal rhythm. No matter where you are from or what you listen to, when the ghoema starts your foot is already tapping.
This music has been heard once, in a recital room. On 22 November it gets played the way it was meant to be, in a club, for a crowd.
Big melodies. Songs about freedom, unity, mothers and the politician who wants your vote, carried with joy instead of anger.
He has spent the year filling this room with other people’s music. This one is his.
