In this final episode of ‘Conversations with Neighbours,’ we ask how we might trace the afterlives of the trans-saharan trade routes of the 8th century? We travel through time and memory with Morrocan writer and translator, Omar Berrada, as he excavates the hidden histories of his once enslaved great, great grandmother; We travel from from Ilorin to Timbuktu with scholar, Moshood Jimba as he recounts the journey that led him to establish a manuscript collection on his return to Nigeria; And we hear from musician Amino Belyamani, of the healing purposes of Gnawa music in Morocco, and the languages and syllabi that are unique to Ewe music from Ghana. Omar Berrada extends special thanks to M'barek Bouhchichi, Hatim Belyamani, and NourbeSe Philip. Conversations with Neighbours is co-curated by Huda Tayob and Bongani Kona, with production support and editing from Andri Burnett, design work by Graeme ‘Boeta Gee’ Arendse, and design and social media by Zakiyyah Haffejee. This podcast series was made possible with funding from the Goethe-Institut.
