Nanz is the cousin to the Mthembu brothers in the Johannesburg art/music collective The Brother Moves On. After having a dream about the brother who passed she wrote this amazing song in remembrance. It's a new mourning for me and you.  On returning from holiday from School Nandi went to record with Siyabonga + Zwelizwe. This is the recording. 

Recorded by: Acidchipmonks
Mastered @ Jazzworx Studios.

Hello My Lovely Rainbow Child
Ive been waiting long to see you
The time we spent apart was bleak
And I was hoping we could speak

The wind may blow and shake the tree within its bark
I hope you know I'll always keep you in my heart

Izenzo zam is a new single I cooked up with my producer Syre, an incredibly talented human. This single is the raw side of Kila G so please think of izenzo zako and enjoy and let me know what you think.

Izenzo Zam - Single

Izenzo Zam

A hope that when one is old and senile that along with memory, accumulated bitterness of both blessings and hardships passed, will be forgotten and that love will be all that remains, all that we remember. A prayer for peace with oneself and with ones life.

"As soon as you touch me I change" – Mr Gold, 

Self proclaimed art movement The Brother Moves On is an ever-evolving performance art collective founded by Nkululeko Mthembu and his brother Siyabonga Mthembu. Determined to belie any one definition, the collective’s work is often deliberately improvised and unpredictable. Collaboration drives the collective, which strives to undermine the traditional authority of individual artist practice and ownership.
Long term members of the collective include Siyabonga Mthembu, Zelizwe Mthembu, Ayanda Zalekile, Simphiwe Tshabalala, Oscar Kgware, Itani Thalefi, Hlubi Vhakalise, Malcolm Jiyane ,Raytheon Orion,  Nolan Oswald Dennis and Stuart Cairns but membership is constantly fluctuating and transient.
Various performers, writers, artists, musicians and activists may collaborate at any given time on different projects before moving on.
The collective create live performances and installations so that meaning is generated through an experience rather than contained within one object. Fiction, re-enactment and the fantastical are utilized in performances like The Afterlife of Mr Gold, which chronicles both the life and afterlife of a supernatural fat cat – and The Brother Breaks the Bullion and The Brother Burns the Bullion – where real word economics and queer identity are amalgamated into a fable of greed and power.
In combining elements of fiction, the supernatural and the fantastical with factual history or recorded ‘truths’ in their installations and performances, The Brother Moves On defamiliarises our experience of both our present and our past. Performative fiction, which drives so much of The Brother Moves On instigates the altered realities through which the collective critique and comment on the socio-political issues of our own reality.
