Orakill - Uncle Jabu

walking speeding / i came all this way

malankane, a colloquial term we use for a tall figure — a tale that i remember vividly from early childhood.

the song also references “Giant’s Tale” by SpheraQ, an interlude — a sonic masterpiece.

... a prologue to '__INKUNZI ISEMATHOLENI - IINGOMA' ... 

..|| originally titled 'Fly Rhythm Machine Children' ... ingane zakwethu, NALEDI & VUSI of the Fly Machine Sessions, called upon us to put together a selection of songs for a boogie down they were throwing ... the year is 2014 ....

..|| having been on the journey yok'qongelela ulwazi ngomculo wakhithi since 2002/3, we felt it right & proper to share some of the vibrations at the invitation of fam duke ... 

---- "Everybody break bread, huddle around" - Ghostface Killah

... we'd been moving as RHYTHM EBONY CHILDREN [unlimited] for a while at this point, sibuthwa through tinhlolo yeNGOMA .... so we titled the presentation 'FLY RHYTHM MACHINE CHILDREN' in spirit of linking up with fam [Fly Machine Sessions]; sibeyimbumba ...

..|| we dedicated it to uBab' SHALUZA MAX who passed on earlier in that year - January of 2014 ..... uMNTAMBO omnyama omhlophe ngenhliziyo ubewumthombo omkhulu walendlela es'hamba kuyo - yok'jula ngesigqi saKwaNTU ... 

..|| we rename it now, the selection, to '__NGIMNYAMA NGINJE' after a song from a body of work yakhe uBab' SHALUZA, recorded before eyakwelamaTHONGO .... kwaba is'busiso kithi ukuba nethuba lokuzwa amaqampuqampu yemiyalelo nobuciko uNTETHE asishiya nayo ..... the work is yet to be released - sihlala ethembeni, uma INKOSI ivumile ngelinye ilanga bonke bohlanga bazowuzwa ... 

... thus we reposition the title .... ngoba ses'buyekeza .... silandelela umsuka .... the 'Fly Rhythm Machine Children' - Bamnyama Banje ....as we continue to reflect & forecast on the works of SHALUZA and others, with the clarion call - NGIMNYAMA NGINJE ...

..|| ses'phothula - siyaz'thoba, siyakhuleka kuwe NKOSI BHAMBATHA kaMANCINZA ZONDI  - Langa libomvu phuma sikothe, kade sikothela kude emafini ... asik'linganisa njalo noNHLANGOTHI ... kepha sijula ngemisebenzi yenu yokuba amavulandlela, amaqhawe, nilwela ubuNTU bethu ... yibani nathi, nis'nikeze is'bindi, uthando nomoya wokuz'nikela kulempi esikhungethe ...

Happy new year, Family. 

Over the past few weeks we have managed to curate a powerful, two-sided bonus tape alongside musicians who continue to shock us with their talents. Shout out to the beautiful young minds who break through barriers by raising the bar and remaining true to their essence. We see you and we love you! 

The tape is also a gesture to our listeners to indicate that we are coming for everything this year. Thank you for your ongoing support and feedback! 

Big love and a huge thank you to the talented Ndivhuho Rasengani for supplying us with this beautiful cover art piece called 'The Matriarch (face)'. Check out his social media and show love!

WISHING YOU A STRONG, WHOLESOME AND PRODUCTIVE 2020 <3
