Asinakuthula Podcast

The “Asinakuthula Podcast” is brought to you by The Asinakuthula collective which comprises of teachers, students, researchers and creatives who tell stories about the lives, experiences and complexity of black African women in history. In our first episode, our host for the season, Julie Nxadi, weaves the voice of our first featured icon, Miriam Makeba with the voice of contemporary South African jazz musician and guest, Nomfundo Xaluva, in an act of honouring Makeba’s audacious genius. credits: host: Julie Nxadi | guest: Nomfundo Xaluva | editor: Sheree Forbay | sound: Siphiwo Dliwayo | executive producer: Athambile Masola ~ Asinakuthula Collective ~ National Arts Council | writer: Julie Nxadi | producer: Sheree Forbay ~ Julie Nxadi archival references: Finish Television interview, 1969 (you tube) ”Lovely Lies” Miriam Makeba & The Manhattan Bros, 1956  “Come Back Africa”, 1959 ”Pata-Pata”, 1967 Miriam Makeba addresses the UN, 1964 Swedish television program “Together”, 1969 Live at Berns Salonger, Stockholm, 1966 Title track “Koloto (Land,Lord) used with permission from artist “Mmatlali”
