This album is my debut album that I released in 2016, but now in a new jacket. This is an accrual and reflection of every music experience I have accumulated throughout my upbringing and music career. It is a melting pot of African, Spiritual, Soul, Jazz, Funk, Lounge and even sophisticated House music.

Rotha is inherently a tribute to mycherished and influential figures, experiences and memories, but most importantly a tribute to my mother Rotha who passed in 2016, while I was in studio to record Rotha. Rotha is an acoustic traditional jazz album that radiates South African heritage sounds and universal jazz influences. This album is mostly sharing Coltrane’s harmonic movements with African influences within the melody and most notably references to South African tribal and spiritual sounds.

Closer to Home

In September 2018, Mash released his third album "Closer to Home" which came at a season in Sibusiso Mash Mashloane’s career where he wants to zoom into his social and musical identity. Being born in Mpumalanga Province, surrounded by Ndebele, Pedi and Swazi people and later moving to KwaZulu Natal, he observed that each society breathes its own character: “If that character is not embraced the significance of being part of it, is lost” says Mashiloane.

All the cultures he experienced have their own transitional, cultural practices, which gives birth to new societies of mixed cultures and traditions.  You can clearly hear this in his album “Closer To Home”, which is a culmination of all the musical dialects and the characteristics of the communities he has stayed and shared with. It is however not a complete reflection, but a serious starting point, which he trusts to attain a better understanding and revelations through his studies and musical encounters.
