According to the note that NA had access to today, the project foresees, from July to November this year, the creation of educational material for children and young people in the form of audios and animation films, based on proverbs from the various national languages .
According to the document, the referenced work will be made available for free consultation to the public in digital form on a platform dedicated to education, art and culture called “Lugânzi – O Arquivo Vivo”.
The note also emphasizes that in addition to building the archive composed of audios and animated films, “Jisabu” will train musicians through the process of musical interpretation of selected proverbs, in order to transform them into captivating melodies, inspired by the Angolan musical tradition, that will work as authentic jingles.
The project will also train illustrators in the process of producing content for animated films.
However, each illustration and its respective musical interpretation of the corresponding proverb will come together in an animated film, the note reads.
Translated into the Kimbundu language, Jisabu means “proverbs”, born from the recognition that the majority of urban citizens currently speak only Portuguese and do not have access to their ancestral linguistic heritage, and that proverbs are an ancient form of advice and transmitting knowledge. .
In the Angolan Oral tradition, “Jisabu”, is a production of 9FILMS and financed by the Sound Connects Fund, an initiative of the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) and the Goethe-Institut.
The project is also supported by the ACP-EU Culture Programme, implemented by the Secretariat of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) and funded by the European Union (EU). The Fund is also co-financed by the Goethe-Institut and the Siemens Stiftung.
