Lecture 1: Attending to the Moment: Artistry and Politics in Zulu Song and Dance

Anthropology of Music Lecture Series 2022

Prof. Louise Meintjes, Duke University (USA)

Drawing on my longterm study of Zulu song and dance, I discuss instances of forceful ngoma vocal performance that have prompted me to think about the idea of breath and aesthetic vitality, limned by violence during the global turbulence of the last two and a half years.
