Gokh-Bi System: 'Rap Tassu'
(Music Video, Belgium)
| The song explores the African roots of Hip Hop, while at the same time paying tribute to the founding fathers of Hip Hop in the Bronx. The video reflects this. Whileit is well known that rap music is primarily an American creation, its origins are rooted deeper than the Boogie Down Bronx. Historically in West Africa, the drum and music have been part of a system of communication used by Africans to spread news amongst villagers. This early style of Hip Hop was called 'Tassu' in Senegal and it sounds like drumming and clapping against a chant. It's basically the music that stayed in the spirit of African Americans and eventually evolved into rap music today. Tassu survived the Middle Passage, crossed over oceans and time and found its rhythm reincarnated in the microphones of emcees who continue to ride the beat, sending a message about what's going down in the streets and telling their stories just like the griots of ancient Africa. |

Off Off Broadway
(Feature, USA)
| Open letter to audience: I was recently convinced by a childhood friend (Francis Enwright) to shoot a documentary which chronicled the making of his most current theatre production. Out of respect for him and due to his persistent insistence, I put other projects aside to undertake this objective documentation. 'Specific Conceptualism' is not only his contribution to avant garde theatre, but best sums up the tangled cobweb of circuits, gears, and tubes that make up his neural network. -Art Ferguson (documentrist) |
