Afrodeutsche: ‘My music always reaches a point of joy’ by LeahMahon_
THE WORD Afrodeutsche kept being repeated over and over until it stuck. Henrietta Smith-Rolla, better known to many electronic music fans as Afrodeutsche, had just embarked on finding her dad who she never knew.
Her grandfather had travelled to Russia in the same search of finding out who his family was. Her European roots found her discovering Ghana and how they had been colonised. Now, Afrodeutsche is preparing to take to the stage, described as a night of “musical innovation from three creative forces” at the lauded Manchester International Festival where she will perform alongside Manchester Camerata in a show conducted by the esteemed Robert Ames.– a collection of sounds brought together by the rhythms of contemporary classical, techno and house as well as electro.
When she was seven-years-old, she gained a scholarship to the local university to play the violin which mastered until the age of eleven. It was classical music from renowned pianists like Mozart and Beethoven which surrounded her. It was her mum’s favourite music,” she says. Away from the bustle of London, she found that there was software that could begin to use to record her music in a way she had never done before in a new space.
