SUN 17.08.25Tealeaves: Exploring South African Musicians Exiled Under Apartheid Rule w/ Kamar

Kamar presents Tealeaves – exploring sound through migration, seeking to appreciate the multitude of ways that migrants and the movement of people have contributed to global society and cultural richness.


For this special WOH Radio edition, broadcasting live from We Out Here Festival, Kamar highlights a lesser talked about musical migrant community - South African musicians living in exile under Apartheid rule.


Across the hour, Kamar highlights some of the incredible stories of solidarity, resistance and unity including the role that exiled musicians played in supporting the anti-Apartheid movement from outside the country, phenomenal musical collaborations from the likes of Hugh Masekela working with Harry Belafonte, the fusion of musical styles that came to be and how this diaspora of South African musicians affected global Jazz communities, with particular focus on the UK Jazz scene


Listen back for an hour of some of history's most powerful examples of sonic solidarity.
