Abstract
Judith February, lawyer, columnist, political commentator and lover of the arts, engages with Neo Muyanga, composer, singer, musician and cultural activist, about the ideas and impulses which generate his work. They talk about the range of his creativity, including his recent opera Flower of Shembe which was met with critical acclaim. February and Muyanga explore aspects of creative life and what it means to interpret and compose the world lyrically in response to the complex relation between tradition and modernity in South Africa today. They also explore the meaning of collaboration across artistic boundaries and how those boundaries are shifting both locally and internationally. Visit Neo's website at http://www.neosong.net/
