HIDE & SING

The music that was born in the mines.

How are diamonds, apartheid and The Lion King related? The one link between the three, is a song. One that you know, probably by heart. In this episode we’ll dive into history, art, and the tragic yet endlessly hopeful story of how a people recreated an entire culture and social cohesion after theirs had been taken away. The story of Isicathamiya is one of grit, solidarity and one of people who refused to be the victims of circumstances, even in some of the darkest times of human history.
