PROJECT JOZA PHOTOSTORY

 

This photostory tells the story of three self-producing artists in the Joza Township of Grahamstown, namely Mzwamadoda "Azlan" Makalima, Khanyile "Suffo" Bumgane and Ayanda "Steal" Mcanda. The story focuses on how the producers built up their studios and the reasons why the produce and record music. The story shows how these three producers do not make music and record other artists for financial purposes, as they have other work to help fund the studio. Instead, they help others to record their music as a means of empowering themselves and others, as well as enriching the musical and cultural capital of the Joza community.
