Turkana on queer culture in Uganda, Bandcamp, Greenwashing Ban
Manage episode 378836911 series 2400036
While West-African music is celebrating new milestones globally, the electronic music scene is still underrepresented. The Nyege Nyege festival in Uganda and its community have been a centerpoint for highlighting dance music and queer culture from East Africa. In this episode Kikelomo talks to Turkana, who’s part of the experimental Anti-Mass collective from Kumpala. She opens up about the danger of building safer spaces in a country where being queer is a crime and the troubles of getting working visas as African artists in Europe. Plus: Bandcamp being sold – again, grassroots music venues under threat, cable-free studio monitors, and the EU to ban generic environmental claims.
The Week is a production by Telekom Electronic Beats and ACB Stories.
