The Podcast:
On May 21st, husband and wife duo G&D (Georgia Anne Muldrow and Dudley Perkins) will release their new album, The Lighthouse, via their own label SomeOthaShip Connect. Before looking toward the new album, G&D, in conjunction with okayafrica, are excited to bring fans back a few years to a performance, recorded live and shared today for the first time via Podcast, at Guga S'Thebe Centre in Langa Township, Capetown, South Africa. The show was for the Pan African Space Station, which is a musical platform on the internet and in venues across Africa that brings together diverse pan-African sounds ranging from ancient techno to future roots.
The performance was assortment of funk, soul, hip-hop, and psychedelic jazz, in which Georgia's smooth, soulful vocals serve as the perfect compliment to Dudley's hard-hitting and poignant rhymes. During the performance, listeners can hear Georgia and Dudley as they engage the fans in the intimate setting, encouraging them to take part in the show through clapping and singing. Excitingly, the date of the show also happened to coincide with Georgia Anne Muldrow's birthday, and at the eight-minute mark, listeners can hear the crowd sing "Happy Birthday."
