[The Conversation Africa] Gerald "Mac" McKenzie passed away on 29 April 2024. He will be remembered as a renegade spirit and innovator in South African music. The composer and bassist changed Cape Town's goema music tradition forever. Growing up in the city's carnival culture, he helped form The Genuines, combining styles like rock, punk, classical and jazz with the music of his childhood. Valmont Layne has studied Cape Town's music history, including McKenzie's contribution. We asked him three questions.
