LATEST NEWS - JONNY
Jonny is writing for and playing/singing on an exciting new CD funded by Creative Scotland for 'Zazim'. The Glasgow-based production duo (VARDI and Rory Comerford) are collaborating with celebrated local and international guest artists to make a dance record that integrates Scottish traditional music with electronic club music rooted in Black culture.
Grounded in anti-racist thinking, the project seeks to pathfind a reconnection to local roots for the Scottish club scene, recognising the urgent need to end cultural appropriation, exoticism and other harmful creative practices. Accountable to anti-oppression facilitators at Tripod Training, Zazim are working for reciprocity and reflection in a dynamic cross-cultural collaboration.
Jonny will post information on how you can listen to Zazim once the project is released.
