Future Nostalgia presents Boeta Gee’s Afromap of Space

South African music journalist, DJ, and researcher Atiyyah Khan (El Corazon) digs out gems, past and present. The show is an extension of the music collective she co-founded in Cape Town called Future Nostalgia, which has hosted listening sessions for the past eight years.

For this month’s mix, Future Nostalgia founding member Boeta Gee (Graeme Arendse) presents the Afromap of Space - a series of mixes which started regularly under lockdown. The Afromap of Space is an attempt to explore the roots and routes of the Black world through sound – transcending time, space and borders, with shifts from Gwo Ka to Ghoema to Gnawa. In this episode, we pay homage to the greatest revolution the world has seen – the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), which led to the establishment of the first independent Black state.
