...your work and all that is featured on these sites has already been an inspiration to our young efforts in Azania. We'd hope to correspond and exchange ideas and productions with you and other deepdish people and visitors; and we'd like to extend our warm invitation to all of you to lend your professional skills to the young DURBAN SINGS audio-media editors and producers by sending us small productions and remixes in response to our on-line audio archives. We'll be producing an interactive DVD that will include the contributions and remixes to the project. We've updated our call-out a little from the one featured here to encourage various professional producers to donate their skills in support of our media activist efforts. we'll paste it for you below.
We are calling listeners' contributions to "REMIXING AFRICAN ORAL HISTORY for a global audience"! please pass on the word! and thank you for listening.
warmest greetings from eThekwini
