'Traffic light' artists paint a brighter future

'Traffic light' artists paint a brighter future | Afrodizziak | Scoop.it

On the busy streets of Cape Town a group of artists dodge traffic and evade the police as they try to sell their work. For these Zimbabwean immigrants the "robots," South African slang for traffic lights, are the marketplace where they try and eke out a living. "Robots" in South Africa are a common place for township entrepreneurs to hawk their wares to passing motorists. But drivers are more used to being offered sunglasses or earmuffs than works of art. The artists who sell at the traffic lights each have their own story of hope and survival, many choosing to come to Cape Town for better work opportunities and living conditions.

Afrobeat has profoundly influenced important contemporary producers and musicians like Brian Eno and David Byrne, who credit Fela Kuti as an essential muse. More recently, the horn section of Antibalas have been guest musicians on TV On The Radio's highly acclaimed 2008 album Dear Science, as well as on British band Foals' 2008 album, Antidotes.
