Loading player...
Muhammad Dawjee is a musician, composer & scholar from the Indian apartheid group-area, Laudium, on the western outskirts of Pretoria. He sees improvisation as a research process and takes a particular interest in the identity of the Indian diaspora living in South Africa by using music to unearth complex stories of colonial subjugation, migration and pursuit of liberation through dialogue.
Dawjee Trio sees tenor saxophonist Muhammad Dawjee, co-founder of critically acclaimed South African Indo-Jazz trio Kinsmen, continue his pursuit for meaning through sound and improvised performance – this time in a classic jazz-trio setup.
Joined by Amaeshi Ikechi on upright bass and Nicholas Bjorkman on drums, the collective transposes the explorative sound of the saxophone led trio, historically established by the likes of Sonny Rollins in the American tradition – onto and through the rich South African sonic landscape.
He spoke to us and we also listen to some exclusives.
