Wednesday 7 August 2019 from 6pm (SA time), we pay tribute to the Los Angeles beatmaker Ras G (and his Afrikan Space Program)
Featuring sounds from Future Nostalgia (Atiyyah Khan and Grant Jurius), Michael Bhatch and Brendan Newman.
Back in 2009, Pan African Space Station invited Ras G to perform at All Nations, Salt River in Cape Town. We have since then lost the recording from this event and are still in search of it.
For now, this encounter only lives in traces and in memories of those who were there. Atiyyah Khan‘s piece, written a year after this performance after a second meeting with Ras G, is one of many attempts to remember this moment.
OH RAS! echoes on. Rest easy.
