Shifty September - RADIO CONTROL Musical Protest & Politics - Panel discussion

Friday 19 September - Alliance Française 6.30 for 7 pm

RADIO CONTROL Musical Protest & Politics

Panel discussion

What forces drive artists to produce work protesting the status quo? What forces align to stop them from doing so? Censorship of the State, the recording industry, broadcasters and self, that’s who…with a curve ball thrown in by the forces of liberation. As well as looking at the past, this panel considers why there is so little political or social comment in music today.

Warrick Sony, Kalahari Surfer of many years and probably South Africa’s most consistent and relentless political songwriter, chairs this session together with longtime collaborator, Lesego Rampolokeng.
