Indian origin South African musician Barry Baldeo dies

Surabjit Jaybelly Baldeo, a prominent South African performer of Indian origin, has passed on at 66 years old.

Prominently known as 'Barry' Baldeo, the guitarist, who died on Sunday morning, was a critical member in pretty much every Indian melodic show in South Africa, as per dear companions and colleagues.

"His last presentation was at our Tamil New Year Show in Midrand on Saturday," said coordinator Lexy Shunmugan of SA Artists Against Coronavirus.

"Barry assumed an instrumental part in setting up the gear, practicing with the band and vocalists, and afterward playing in the presentation. He was a stickler whose expertise on the scope of guitars that he played was unrivaled. What we will recall him best for is his delicate disposition and his assurance to constantly help more youthful artists to improve their abilities," Shunmugan added.

Baldeo charmed himself to partners and audience members at the East Wave Radio where he dealt with the positions to turn into the station chief.

"His authority and responsibility altogether progressed the station's development… SJ's dynamic character and brotherhood were instrumental in advancing a coordinated solidarity, especially in the midst of advancing administrative scenes in local area radio," said Vikash Maharagh, current top of the station.

The late performer is said to have moved forward as a guitarist for one of the exhibitions of late ghazal vocalist Pankaj Udhas when he and his siblings Manhar and Nirmal visited Johannesburg in 2012.

"It's uncommon that our craftsmen get a chance to play a full show with performers from India, and to get acclaim like that from somebody like Pankaj Udhas was an extraordinary quill in the cap of Barry," said one more veteran of the nearby media outlet, Anil Rambaran.

Honoring Baldeo, the South African Tamil League said the performer was a scaffold developer who took part in endless local area occasions, "stringing together the different societies that coincided".

"We honor such a noble man, who was constantly considered with extraordinary regard and was broadly perceived for his commitment to the music society. We have lost a genuine legend," the league said in its proclamation.

Ask an older generation of white South Africans when they first felt the bite of anti-apartheid sanctions, and some point to the moment in 1968 when their prime minister, BJ Vorster, banned a tour by the England cricket team because it included a mixed-race player, Basil D’Oliveira. After that, South Africa was excluded from international cricket until Nelson Mandela walked free from prison 22 years later. The D’Oliveira affair, as it became known, proved a watershed in drumming up popular support for the sporting boycott that eventually saw the country excluded from most international competition including rugby, the great passion of the white Afrikaners who were the base of the ruling Nationalist party and who bitterly resented being cast out. For others, the moment of reckoning came years later, in 1985 when foreign banks called in South Africa’s loans. It was a clear sign that the country’s economy was going to pay an ever higher price for apartheid. Neither of those events was decisive in bringing down South Africa’s regime. Far more credit lies with the black schoolchildren who took to the streets of Soweto in 1976 and kicked off years of unrest and civil disobedience that made the country increasingly ungovernable until changing global politics, and the collapse of communism, played its part. But the rise of the popular anti-apartheid boycott over nearly 30 years made its mark on South Africans who were increasingly confronted by a repudiation of their system. Ordinary Europeans pressured supermarkets to stop selling South African products. British students forced Barclays Bank to pull out of the apartheid state. The refusal of a Dublin shop worker to ring up a Cape grapefruit led to a strike and then a total ban on South African imports by the Irish government. By the mid-1980s, one in four Britons said they were boycotting South African goods – a testament to the reach of the anti-apartheid campaign. . . . The musicians union blocked South African artists from playing on the BBC, and the cultural boycott saw most performers refusing to play in the apartheid state, although some, including Elton John and Queen, infamously put on concerts at Sun City in the Bophuthatswana homeland. The US didn’t have the same sporting or cultural ties, and imported far fewer South African products, but the mobilisation against apartheid in universities, churches and through local coalitions in the 1980s was instrumental in forcing the hand of American politicians and big business in favour of financial sanctions and divestment. By the time President FW de Klerk was ready to release Mandela and negotiate an end to apartheid, a big selling point for part of the white population was an end to boycotts and isolation. Twenty-seven years after the end of white rule, some see the boycott campaign against South Africa as a guide to mobilising popular support against what is increasingly condemned as Israel’s own brand of apartheid.

Academy Partners With Mercury Studios to Launch Jonas Gwangwa Music Composition Initiative

Jonas Gwangwa - South African Jazz Musician and Composer. 

         LOS ANGELES, CA – The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in partnership with Mercury Studios, today announced the launch of the Jonas Gwangwa Music Composition Initiative, a one-year career development program for Black British musicians interested in composing music for film.  In celebration of the late South African musician, composer and Oscar® nominee Jonas Gwangwa, the program will provide real-world experience, one-on-one mentorship and networking opportunities, beginning in October 2022. 

         Part of the Academy’s ongoing Aperture 2025 global outreach and engagement efforts, the Jonas Gwangwa Music Composition Initiative aims to foster broader representation in film music composition, with an emphasis on Black British talent.  Its creation was spearheaded by UK-based Academy members Gary Yershon (Music Branch), Misan Sagay (Writers Branch) and Nainita Desai (Music Branch).

    “This initiative seeks to correct an imbalance.  In contrast to the major contributions Black musicians are making to the music industry in the UK, their presence in the UK film industry is significantly lacking,” said Yershon, Sagay and Desai.  “Through this program, we seek to build community amongst Black artists in the UK by highlighting opportunities to bridge film and music careers.”

     The program is open to UK-based Black artists and composers with at least three years of work experience as a musician.  Two participants, selected through an application process, will receive access to Academy members across various branches in order to gain an understanding of the filmmaking process; one-on-one mentorship with a member of the Academy’s Music Branch to learn about the practical aspects of composing for film; access to Academy events and screenings in London; and introductions to leading practitioners from all areas of film music, among other mentorship programming.

     Participants will be matched with a filmmaker who is in the process of making a short film and will be given the opportunity to compose music for the film. The composition work will be funded by two grants from Universal Music Group’s Mercury Studios, a full-service, global production film and television studio, and Decca Records.  Additional programming and support will be provided by Abbey Road Studios.

    Gwangwa, who died in 2021, was a prominent South African jazz musician and composer.  He received Oscar nominations for Original Score and Original Song for his work, with George Fenton, on “Cry Freedom” (1987). 

    Applications for the Jonas Gwangwa Music Composition Initiative are currently open.  For more information visit https://oscars.org/learn/jonas-gwangwa-initiative.
