lol guys you know very well what we do. nice lol

Woah! This is just awesome. Rich, playful, deep... Beautiful guitar lines, great, wavy bass lines and melodically sublime singing. Creative outro, very innovative. Immaculate, impeccable!

Here I am/ standing in a line that marks between truth and nowhere/ Fuelled by a promise/ Yesterdays forgotten and tomorrow is nearly mine/ Throw my caution to the wind and let Venus guide my way/ Im going to up and leave and I don't care where I may just end up/ Cause I'm tired of this place/ same routine I get no rest its home to work and work to home the boredom of this place....

The first ever recording we did was this baby, we left it here so we always remember.

DUMAZILE 

" in the post - post Apocalypse.  In the times where the rumour of war is an short-term-memory anecdote for those who have lived through and still live in the war itself. this unceasing light from the barrel of the firing stick/ the TV screen/ the camera flash/ the light bulb/ the pylon/ the stars/ have you seen a star disappear?

                         it's because they become sick and die. "

Dumazile (Zimbabwe, 1990) is a song written by Nongoma's parents Themba and Bajabulile Ndlovu founders of the band Children of Nandi. Dumazile speaks about the stigma surrounding HIV and how it affects the sufferer and those around them. It also serves as a metaphor for  the 'chosen' child that goes through a traumatic series of events before submitting to the calling and how that process affects both them and those around them.

This version of Dumazile is a Live Recording of the performance of the song at ALT BLK CONTINUA series (curated by Msaki) held at The Velvet Lounge in East London in late 2018.

"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.
