A song to sing while walking to freedom

The film worked as well as it did because it depicted the true life of the African youngsters in South African townships.

The track Freedom is Coming Tomorrow was recorded at the old Gallo Studios in downtown Johannesburg in 1992. The whole original cast and band were in the studio.


If freedom is something to move toward, what does that movement look like? Such movement, as I understand it, can take the form of thinking differently and reinventing; that is to say, moving toward freedom requires undoing old modes of thinking about the human.

Currently, throughout the world, the hunger for freedom for Black people perversely turns into desire for death: Africans drowning while crossing the Strait of Gibraltar in an effort to find dignified lives in Europe serve as a chilling example. Walcott insists on recalibrating the way we understand the human and recognizing that our former idea of the human was formed by history, placing Blackness outside humanness.


Engaging with the works of Sylvia Wynter and Frantz Fanon, Walcott issues a call to rethink the post-Enlightenment conception of the human. It is through this reworking that the book elucidates how we might be able to find real freedom. Walcott demonstrates the multiple ways that Black life-forms deconstruct, evade, elude, and surpass limited Euro-American ideas of the human, founded in the Enlightenment and in the post-Columbian colonial project.


In The Long Emancipation, Walcott is committed to the idea of a new humanism, as propagated by Wynter and Fanon, that includes Black beings. In order for us to understand the possibility of freedom, we have to pay attention to Black life-forms, which in their radical existence enable a rethinking of the human and creates possibilities for livable lives, not just for Black people, but for everyone.


Walcott suggests that reconstituting the human, through seriously reckoning with the anti-Black logics of the global order, is the only way to bring about freedom. In reconstituting the human, we recognize that all humans, including Black beings, deserve livability.


In the United States Harry Belafonte mentored her and their concert album An Evening with Belafonte/ Makeba (on Freegal) won a Grammy award in 1965. In addition to her life in music, she became a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador, was a global civil rights advocate and remained a staunch opponent of the apartheid system until it fell and she finally returned home. Her best known songs include Pata Pata, Malaika, and Qonqothane (also known as the Click Song.) She co-starred in the movie Sarafina which was based on the Tony nominated play by Mbonjeni Ngema. She lived a dynamic, complicated and important life, but it is her remarkable voice that always brings me back to her music.
