Rhythms of Resistance
Jitsvinger (real name Quintin Goliath) is a celebrated South African artist from the Cape Flats known for fusing hip hop, poetry, theatre, and storytelling into a distinctive performance style rooted in Afrikaaps—the vernacular Afrikaans dialect of Cape Town. In this radio interview, Jitsvinger tells us about how his heritage influenced his music. We hear how Indigenous Khoi and San languages mixed with Dutch and languages from others who were brought to South Africa as slaves, contributed to the formation of Afrikaans, and how this heritage influences his music.
Nuestra madre tierra siente, lengua Tutunaku de Cuetzalan, Puebla, México
Para los Pueblos Indígenas la tierra es nuestra madre, es fuente de vida y de sabiduría; por esta razón, el cuidado de la tierra es fundamental en nuestras culturas. A lo largo de toda nuestra historia, hemos mantenido una estrecha relación con ella; no obstante, debido a la influencia de formas de vida ajenas que han llegado a nuestras comunidades, es necesario recordar a las nuevas generaciones el valor de la madre tierra.
