The Pan African Space Station (PASS)

This four day music intervention is an African music festival hosted by Spier Estate


Pan African Space Station (PASS) is a 4-day music intervention from 1-4 October 2008 across Cape Town. This African music festival is curated by Ntone Edjabe and Neo Muyanga and is presented by the Africa Centre with the support of Spier.

One of the headline acts of the festival will be a unique radio station that will broadcast 30 days of cutting edge music and information from Global Africa to the world from 12 September - 12 October 2008.

The music festival is about music from Global Africa, music that articulates nation-building in the African world. Artists will not be expected to represent a country or cultural group.

The event is an opportunity for Capetonians and visitors to engage in the rich and complex creative expression which binds Africans from across the world together.

PASS is dedicated to exploring
new musical territory and the festival seeks to profile local and international acts which may not yet have reached household-name status in South Africa but which are still at the very top of their game.

Participating artists include Nacao
Zumbi (Brazil), Ayetoro (Nigeria/Ghana), Cindy Blackman Quartet (US), Ze Maria Quartet (Mozambique/Angola) and a range of progressive South African artists, including Carlo Mombelli and the Prisoners of Strange (Jhb), Blk Jks (Jhb), Rock Art (Cape Town) and many other fantastic (South) African musicians, bands and artists.

This African music festival will also be acknowledging independent music venues across the city, with events happening at different times and different venues.

Through this approach, venues
such as Langa's Guga S'thebe and Assembly in District Six may be linked conceptually. Other selected venues include Mowbray's Town Hall and the Slave Church on Long Street.
