Narratief Episode 144: PULE (Bombshelter Beast, Cradle Crew, Church of the Rolling Tongue)

I sit down with one of our country’s most fascinating storytellers, versed in the deeper linguistic and cultural history traditions of Azania and !Naremâb (Southern Africa), for a conversation that will blow your mind. As a musician and comedian, Pule shares some incredibly interesting insights into an approach to comedy, rap, and movement. As a panlingual lyricist, performer, scholar of linguistics, and cultural technologist, Pule opens up a whole world of indigenous interconnections that many of us have probably never even heard of before. This conversation genuinely inspired me to learn more about my own roots, and about the history of South Africa and its people. Pule explains how being born into a community with a deep awareness of history, heritage, and language, was a foundation that developed into a lifelong passion and way of seeing the world. After travelling through 21 countries across the African continent, extraordinary experiences and discoveries are shared, uncovering some of the hidden histories and connections between different cultures and communities. We also talk about Pule's involvement in the Cradle Crew Hip-Hop mentorship initiative, and with the new band, Church of the Rolling Tongue, currently hitting stages and releasing new music. This is one of those conversations that reminds you just how much history is hiding in the words we speak every day - and how much more there still is to discover about who we are and where we come from.
