EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the banks of the Zambeze River in Africa, transporting us to a bygone era. Engraved in 1885 by an unknown artist, it captures a vibrant scene filled with music and tradition. In this image, we see a group of musicians gathered beneath the shade of towering trees. A child stands at the forefront, holding a xylophone with intense focus and skill beyond their years. The melodies produced from this ancient instrument blend harmoniously with the rhythmic beats emanating from drums and tambourines held by men and women alike. The village on the river's shore comes alive as these talented individuals showcase their musical prowess. Their attire reflects their African heritage, adorned in traditional garments that speak volumes about their rich cultural identity. Surrounding them are other members of the population, captivated by this enchanting performance. As our eyes wander through this engraving, we can almost hear the melodic tunes echoing across time and space. It is a testament to human creativity and ingenuity that transcends language barriers. Jaime Abecasis has masterfully captured this moment in history through his lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. Through his artistry, he invites us into an intimate connection with Africa's musical heritage while paying homage to its native musicians. This print serves as a reminder of how music unites communities and bridges gaps between civilizations – reminding us all that no matter where we come from or what instruments we play, music is truly universal.
