Dira

Recess

Those who have passed on and who now act as your guardians ask that you look for them. They are there to assist you. Ntodeni is Venda for look for me.  

Ntodeni

The song is about counsel given from an elder advising their children and grand children to not get lost in the woods and to know how to find their way back to the village homestead. The woods in our modern context is the city and we're tasked with remembering where home is. By home I mean home, home. Ni songo gela is Venda for 'don't get lost or don't lose your way'. 

Ni Songo Xela

Ndalila is a song about aspirations and dreams coming to fruition... the reality of realizing your wishes before your eyes,

Ndalila (Radio Edit)

Recorded at the Popsicle Studios in Cape Town while on Tour with The Brother Moves On.

Experiment 1

The ultimate throwback, the moments when we dig through our archives, to find the gems in our journey. This taken from our show at the barn entitled “The Journey”, and what a journey it has been. We have been on a fast ride, and have held on for dear life…The beginning is never easy, but we recall that have had the support of our people from onset. Many, many stages and shows later we are happy to know that we are still consumed by sound. 
This song is “Idliso” live, taken a showcase at the barn 

The musicians we had: Sandile Bailer Suka (Electric guitar), Xola Chinno Kulati (Drums), Mtheza Malakane (keys), Terrence Freshly SA (Backing Vocals) and our musical guest Lifa Mosea (Saxhophone). 

The live show was recorded, mastered by Sisa Juqashe and Tobela Fibi.

'Beating Heart - South Africa Vol. 2', a 4 track EP featuring Auntie Flo, Subjective (Goldie's new project with JD from Ulterior Motive), Card on Spokes and The Happy Show. 

Following the debut Malawi album​ last year, this next series of Beating Heart releases focuses on the vibrant sounds of South Africa, sampling field recordings made by Hugh Tracey back in the 1950s, with kind permission from the International Library of African Music.

Further volumes featuring a whole host of talent will be released throughout the summer.

Profits from the series will be used to support:​ the Women's Legal Centre, a group of female lawyers striving for gender equality across South Africa, particularly for black women, whose work has had a huge impact on the country's laws, and continues to do so; and the Access Music Project in Grahamstown where students will be able to learn production skills through remixing field recordings from the ILAM ​archive, learning about their heritage in the process.

Beating Heart will be performing​ summer festival takeovers at Glastonbury, Womad, Port Eliot, Boomtown, Obonjan (Croatia) and Secret Garden Party, with events in Malawi, South Africa and Uganda planned for the autumn.

Thanks to previous​ support, the 'Beating Heart - Malawi' album ​(Rudimental, Kidnap Kid, Clap! Clap!, Luke Vibert, Afriquoi & more) ​h​as​ funded the setting up of a sustainable school feeding program in Lilongwe, now feeding 450 kids once a day. More info at www.beatingheartproject.com
