A Letter to Azania | 'We can't live on hope, we have to live on great leadership': Thandiswa Mazwai

A Letter to Azania is a music special by musician and cultural figure Thandiswa Mazwai. It tracks a letter the singer is writing to "Azania" as a place of freedom that she says "Takes the audience on a sonic exploration of the utopian idea of Azania while expressing the melancholy that comes with a dream deferred." Centering on love, the show opens with the words of revolutionary Ché Guevara, "the revolution is driven by great feelings of love" and Thandiswa adds "a love for the people, a love for country, and a love for justice." Thandiswa uses her music to "Create new worlds and calls us all to awaken our imagination and remember the teachings of old as we forge a new world. " In Cape Town, Thandiswa Mazwai is bringing her previously sold-out show A Letter to Azania to the Artscape Theatre on the 25th of February and she joins us in the studio to tell us more.
