View on mapSLAMDANCE garage borrows text from Nina Simone, Audre Lorde, Drexciya and other luminaries, reharmonizing their words to the sounds of drums, distorted vocals and the blaring resonance of a custom-one string bass. Inspired by the Malawian babatoni, Mississippi diddley-bow and the Afro-Brazilian berimbau, the handmade instrument (nearly the same length as its player) is an homage to throughlines of musical technology that weave through the African diaspora.
Created and performed by Ian Andrew Askew. Produced by The Bushwick Starr in association with ¡Oye! Group.
