ismail mohamed-jan, better known as pops mohamed, is south
africa's unofficial minister of music. with a philosophy that
states, "if you don't know where you come from, surely you won't
know where you are going to", pops is renowned for his dedication
to protect and preserve the indigenous tribal music from his
homeland. interestingly however, he is simultaneously at the helm
of the current world music movement experimenting with global
sounds and digital electronica - fusing tradition with modern
technology. he successfully combines his deep-rooted african
sounds with contemporary instruments and electronics making him
the living embodiment of cross-cultural co-operative music. a
pragmatist as much as an idealist he recognises the need to create
a palatable way of producing indigenous sounds. dance music has
therefore become a base from which to do this. as he explains, "i
don't see all the new dance styles (hip hop, trip hop, house,
jungle, drum'n'bass) as a threat to traditional music. i see them
as a new platform to voice ourselves."
