Music Freedom Day, 2008


Music Freedom Day, 2008    
Louis Mhlanga is one of several artists featured in this 24-minute special on Music Freedom Day 2008. The others are his colleague Eric van der Western, the Basque singer Fermin Muturuza and the Ivorian reggaeman Fadal Dey. All of them have had to survive the pressures of censorship and other forms of human rights abuse.

    SETTING: On the eve of his concert at the Satellit Café in Paris, Louis Mhlanga and Eric van der Western were invited to the studios of Radio France International to talk about their long collaboration around the sounds and rhythms of southern Africa. They also brought up the forms of censorship they have been confronted with in the course of their long collaboration. These comments are part of a special programme devoted to Music Freedom Day 2008, organised every March 3rd by the Danish-based NGO Freemuse.
