DUMAMA

DUMAMA (b. 1991 South Africa) explores intersectionality in her transdiscplinary artistic practice allowing the structures in formlessness to simply be. Her practice involves consciously deconstructing archaic modes of representation of Southern African/African sonic and performance culture, while also composing music for herself and others. Ritualising modes of togetherness, Dumama is concerned with the ways in which new forms can organically emerge when collaborations can center in intimacy and openness.  As a compelling storyteller and lyricist, she works seamlessly to mend together the divide between traditional South African oral culture, jazz sensibilities and futuristic globally-oriented poetics. She will be accompanied by Lukas Akintaya (drums) and Szablocs Bognar (keys).
