The Misunderstood Farmer Boy

The Misunderstood Farmer Boy

By Xander Ferreira on December 29, 2017

By Xander Ferreira and Thomas Burkhalter (Norient) on 29 December 2017 in  STORIES

With his project Gazelle, Xander Ferreira aims to show the diversity of cultures in South Africa, and to translate the political strategies of African dictators to the world of pop music. Ferreira is white, which became an issue.

«Norient ist zu dem geworden, was die
Musikzeitschrift Spex in Deutschland
zeitweise einmal war: ein Thinktank,
der über den globalen Mainstream
der Minderheiten reflektiert.»
