Vuma Levin
Vuma Levin
Award-winning guitarist and composer Vuma Levin's unique brand of hybrid music makes use of digital samples and prepared instruments, fusing contemporary jazz, rock, hip hop, pop, and South African musical forms such as Marabi, Ghoema, and Nguni-Sotho Choral and Gourd bow song.

At this multidisciplinary concert at Wits Theatre Levin launches his fourth album Antique Spoons: Chapters on Love, Loss and the Politics of Memory with the help of photographer Lauren Mulligan, filmmakers Dylan Valley, Jurgen Meekel and Nobunye Levin and an international band of fellow jazz innovators that includes Sisonke Xonti, Bokani Dyer, Romy Brauteseth and Jeroen Batterink.

Levin describes Antique Spoons as an exploration of "the black, post-apartheid South African self, this time through the prism of the everyday story. The telling of these stories, as a musical suite in nine parts, reveals deeper truths about race, power, belonging, migration, love, loss, memory and (I hope) the human condition.”
