Soundscapes - Direct Descendents - They Are Us - Radio Weskus

Radio Weskus (Radio West Coast), based in Vredenburg, South Africa, is situated near a network of historic fishing villages inhabited by the direct descendants of San fishermen. In this evocative series, producer Matt Levai captures the unique sounds of the West Coast and weaves them together with powerful narratives that reflect the deep ancestral roots of the region’s communities. The series features a special contribution from Khoekhoegowab language activist Bradley van Sitters, whose voice adds depth and authenticity to the exploration of cultural identity and heritage. All music and spoken contributions were recorded with permission and feature the voices and talents of local West Coast residents.
