Sinopse
A journey to the heart of the Mother City and a beat called Goema. With indigenous roots, colonial influences and shaped by Cape Town’s slave history, Goema’s blueprint lies in the city’s carnival culture. It is from these traditional festivities that contemporary variations have emerged. Defiant rock marking the collapse of apartheid and healing jazz in the wake of ZA’s democratic rebirth. Mama Goema charts the evolution of Goema through composer Mac McKenzie, multi-instrumentalist Hilton Schilder and a cast of Cape Town’s diverse musicians and sees the city’s most representative sound take a bold step into the future.
