  Music that challenges the power – music that makes people dance, not only with their feet’s, but also with their minds. This is what Pilato from Zambia and GP/Mstaafrika from Tanzania creates. Listen to them and their new song in episode 105 of Global Podd. Freedom of expression has been under constant attack in Tanzania and Zambia. Laws and policies have been used to throttle these rights and freedoms. One group that takes the fight against authoritarian leaders are musicians. But what is the role that music can play in changing the society? And are there any limits in what you can sing about?

  In the second episode of the podcast serie Expanding the Space – The fight for freedom of expression in Tanzania and Zambia, we discuss the role of music and why authoritarian regimes are so afraid of good music.

  Participants:

  Pilato, musician from Zambia. GP/Mstaafrika, musician from Tanzania

  Host: David Isaksson, editor of Global Bar Magazine.
