In this episode we are joined by Masechaba Phakela, band leader of Masechaba & the Soul Peanuts, to discuss Cultural Appropriation and Cultural Appreciation in music. What does it mean to appropriate musical culture? How do we as Africans promote and protect our cultures at the same time? This episode gets into the meat of the subject without forgetting to supply you with good music.
