Gallo Vault Sessions is a 6-part podcast series brought to you by Gallo in collaboration with KONJO. We delve into the story of Gallo Music, Africa’s largest and oldest recording company, and reflect on the ways music shapes culture, and how our culture has been shaped by music…both at the centre and periphery of Africa’s music history. We bridge 95 years of Gallo’s music history with KONJO’s passion for cultural storytelling and chat with artists, label execs, radio veterans and music thinkers as we explore the undercurrents, backstories and overlooked tapes from the Gallo Vault…from mbaqanga to soul, and of course, provide you with a curated playlist to soundtrack your month.

In this episode of Gallo Vault Sessions we take a look at Gallo Music’s Afrikaans language catalogue, and consider how the sound of whiteness and in particular, Afrikanerdom was a conscious construction by the SABC and by extension, the Broedebond. We will explore how music in particular was used as a means of forming Afrikaner conscience in the wake of the Anglo-Boer war, and how various musicians reacted against the Broedebond’s idea of what it meant to be a “good Afrikaner”.To help us tell the story we chat with some new voices: musician and music historian, Schalk van der Merwe; critical whiteness studies scholar, Thandiwe Ntshinga; legacy artist, Anton Goosen, and of course Gallo Music’s resident archivist, Rob Allingham.Gallo Vault Sessions in collaboration with KONJOYou can listen to our specially KONJO curated mix by musician, Abraham Mennen @abrahammennen, tracing his favourite Afrikaans language sounds here.
