Neo Muyanga
Composer & Installation Artist
“Activists and artists need to come together collaboratively to fashion new, exciting and nuanced stories that humanise the foreigner or outsider in each of our communities, and identify that same outsider within our own selves.”
Neo Muyanga is a composer and musician, working in the in-depth study of practices of indigenous musicking. He seeks to examine how these so-called ‘traditionalmodes’ approach, bridge, or contrast with musicking in contemporary popular music, opera and music theatre. Over the past 2 decades, he has mounted musical productions spanning the above-mentioned genres across the globe.
