Por: Sound Composed

For a nation of natural storytellers whose drumming is embedded deeply in the psyche from childhood through rhythmic games and play, it is oral tradition that connects us even if it is memories of that older relation who tells the best ghost stories or builds a clever kalulu animal world involving beautiful geographic landscapes and communities. Many of our stories are disconnected from the source but we can still tell our own.

Now it's your turn to listen starting with hip hop award winning Def Jam Africa signee Cleo Ice Queen openly speaking about her career, musical journey and what she misses about her own heritage and where she is headed next.

In upcoming episodes expect it to get funny, heated and engaging as Zambians tell their stories alongside looking at the reality of being a creative in Zambia.

The cultural audio guides are edutaining for anyone who wants insight to the chameleon like absorption and warmth of the blended Zambian territory. Zambians are talking openly and humourously about everything and can be very serious about issues they care deeply about.

The international guests in the series come from MOBO Unsung connected to Europe's largest and most successful black founded and owned platform and more. The professional sound sessions come from educator David Asomaning whose hip hop career, technical prowess, qualifications and activities are the most helpful sound experience you will be glad you stumbled upon.

Sound Composed is the website of virtual instrument designer, cultural composer & audio producer Robyn Agatha Phiri who has been researching the decolonisation of intellectual property and looking at sound rights amongst women in Zambia. As Zambian women cross the globe are reaching new creative heights from Sampa the Great to Ellen Aaku Banda - it's good for Zambia to share what's up as the home grown redefine their future in tandem with the world.
