Thandiswa breaks down the sonic journey of her latest music project, Sankofa. She takes us through the inspiration, sounds and emotions that went into bringing the album to life and the deeper meaning behind it all.
15:06 I was born the year of the youth uprising 16:47 and so my birth is tainted with struggle 17:58 and revolution. 23:18 I had these heroes. 23:51 There was Brenda Fassie on the one hand, 24:45 and there was Winnie Mandela on the other. 25:44 There was something about both women that I saw in myself 27:50 of being a wild woman who does as she pleases. 29:51 A woman who knows that she's here to make history. 31:43 We were young kids and we had done this remake 33:14 of Mama [Miriam] MakebaÕs famous ÒPata PataÓ. 34:17 We were invited to come and sing this song in her presence 35:46 and she asked me the most important question: 37:01 ÒWhat kind of artist do you want to become?Ó 38:25 That question made me want to answer it. 39:54 And in the answer, I decided that I wanted to be a conscious artist. 42:06 An artist that would be fearless, an artist that would represent Black joy, 43:59 Black pride, 44:46 that would represent the time. 46:42 On this album, I put in that particular interlude because 48:39 the preacher thatÕs speaking in the interlude is the preacher that buried my mother. 53:04 The loss of my mother was kind of that one big trauma in my life that 55:10 for the longest time, I really couldn't let go of it. 56:23 And this song, ÒKulungileÓ, was my final note of grief. 1:01:40 One of my favourite quotes about love is by the revolutionary Che Guevara (paraphrased): 1:03:46 ÒNo revolution can exist without love.Ó 1:05:26 You know, the love of the people, love of the country, love of freedom. 1:07:10 And I love to put love into everything that I do. 1:08:52 As an artist, the work has to mean something to me. 1:11:32 People that encounter it are able to resonate with that. 1:13:29 You know, with the authenticity of the sound, 1:14:42 the honesty, and the work. 1:15:27 The word Sankofa comes from a language, Twi, that is from Ghana. 1:18:16 And thereÕs one of the symbols is a bird that's looking backwards and picking something up. 1:21:02 Sankofa was recorded in Johannesburg, Dakar-Senegal, and New York. 1:23:57 And through this journey, I discovered a common sonic language that rests in the archive. 1:26:37 The modern and the futuristic. 1:28:14 For me, collaboration is about working with people I love very deeply. 1:30:05 People whose sonic perspective I respect. 1:31:41 And so it was such an honour for me to work with 1:32:45 Tendai Shoko, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Nduduzo Makhathini on this album. 1:35:53 Bra Hugh [Masekela] in an interview said, 1:36:54 ÒShe's the leader of the past, which is now the future.Ó 1:38:50 I like that.
