Hooked on Gqom: an ethnographic study of a contemporary urban youth musical identity in South Africa
- Katushabe,Bathandwa Mathias Ngasiirwe

- Date: 2022-12

- Description: Gqom music has grown from being a relatively obscure sub-genre of South African Kwaito into a globally recognised sonic identity and social movement. Gqom, as a distinct music style, has featured heavily in mass media since 2015, spawning social phenomena such as viral dance challenges on various social media platforms, and constituting a launch pad for the careers of musicians such as DJ Lag and the Distruction Boyz. Gqom also featured in the international motion picture Black Panther in 2018, and in the 2019 Lion King: The Gift album by American pop icon Beyoncé. Although the origins of Gqom, its characteristics, impact, and ascension to noteworthiness have received attention in the form of newspaper articles, online blogs, YouTube documentaries, etc, and small treatises or academic articles, little literature has been generated about the music and its theoretical construction as sonic and social phenomena. I argue that by using the theoretical scaffolds of ‘identity politics’, specifically ‘identities in music’, one is better able to understand Gqom as reflective of a broader social urban youth identity characterised by partying and political disillusionment. In other words, I make the case for an intergroup identification that prioritises in-group musical identities associated with Gqom and its phenomenology of practices which I have excavated using an ethnographic qualitative method. , Thesis (MMus) -- Faculty of Humanities, School of Visual and performing Arts, 2022

- Description: This study aims to provide a critique of Baroque performance practice, with specific reference to the organ Preludes and Fugues of Johann Sebastian Bach. Drawing from the extensive body of literature pertaining to Bach’s keyboard music, a number of relevant issues are explored in so far as these may provide understanding of the manner in which the organ Preludes and Fugues should be performed today. These include: • The notion of Bach’s ‘generic’ keyboard works. Were the generic keyboard works as a whole intended to be performed on more than one keyboard instrument? The instrumental designations given by Bach in these works are a valuable source of information in answering this question. • The type of organ that was known to J.S. Bach and typical registration used in the Baroque, called the plenum. • Identification of the grey area that persists in the interpretation of Bach’s organ works with regard to registration, tempo, rhythm, articulation, phrasing, fingering and ornamentation. This study also engages with the current authenticity debate in musical performance as seen from the modernist and postmodernist points of view. The modernist ideal of authenticity is to “re-create” or “reconstruct” performances of Bach’s music with as much accuracy as the evidence of historical musicologists can provide. For the postmodernist, however, authenticity lies in embracing the human element of contingency in musical performance, along with a thorough grounding of such performance in historical evidence. In aligning itself with the postmodernist point of view, this study ultimately argues that we cannot learn everything there is to know about Baroque performance practice from books. Instead, in addition to historical evidence, we draw much of our understanding in this regard from our innate or tacit levels of knowing. In this regard the scholar of Bach’s organ works can draw valuable lessons from the levels of tacit knowledge of leading organ pedagogues and performers on the subject of Baroque performance practice.

- Description: This study explores how through music discourses and representations of identity and authenticity are articulated through a reading of hip hop and rock music scenes in post-apartheid East London. I have read through interviews, spaces where performances occur and material culture associated with the artists, of musicians moving between ideas of resistance to the mainstream as well as conforming in their representations of identity. The tensions aroused by these underground music scenes in my study ran between resistance and conforming narratives in relation to how musicians express how they make sense of identity and authenticity in the changing post-apartheid landscape. Therefore the complex readings of identity derived from the study showed how contradictory music allows one to be. Further the study found that the assertions about race, ethnicity and identity were often more subtle and contradictory at times, which warranted one to pay closer attention to these music scenes. Inasmuch as musicians attempted to move out of the mainstream by placing themselves in an alternative positioning, they remained limited to ‘authentic’ articulations of identity, where race remained either ‘invisibly’ white or problematically ‘native’ as centres of authentic representation. Moreover the study was able to show the anxieties and tensions around citizenship, identity and belonging. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, 2014
