Sathima Bea Benjamin

in conversation with Professor Gwen Ansell

with guest Onaje Allan Gumbs


For South Africans of color under apartheid, America and its jazz scene were the site of dreams: the place where the genre was shaped and black musicians achieved national stardom. For the African-American community, Africa, as the ancestral homeland, embodies its own visions. Singer/composer Sathima Bea Benjamin grew up in Cape Town, watching movies and listening to jazz records from America. Rejecting a life under apartheid, her career took her to New York, where she now lives. In conversation with Gwen Ansell, Sathima discusses with sung and recorded illustrations the emotions and debates American music stirred among Cape Town's jazz players and the way America responds to the Africa she carries in her heart and her music.
