Led by Vuma Levin, Théo Duboule, and Martin Perret, In Motion represents a meeting of South African and Western European musical cultures. The project seeks to establish a creative dialogue between folkloric musics from Switzerland and South Africa, focusing on the period prior to and during the early stages of colonialism. The result is a body of work that charts a wholly new artistic direction situated at the crossroads of multiple musical traditions. Levin is a guitarist, composer and lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand. After his initial music studies in Pretoria he graduated with a Master’s degree cum laude from the Amsterdam Conservatorium and was a semi-finalist at the Montreux Socar International Jazz Guitar competition in Switzerland.
