Description: This is a simple story of rural meeting urban, a vivid description of a song being written for how "the chase" often does not end up with a "catch" as well...

This is a beautiful song both lyrically and sonically. Umleqwa here is used as a metaphor.

Too Late For Mama - Mpho Sebina[#throwbackthursday Mix]

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'.

Especially if they don't believe you, tell them you have been there.

Umle is a duo of artists who make good music; they reside in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and have managed to win the hearts of the intimate PE scene. The aim is to take them as a band to international recognition, yet remaining independent. The one way that they describe their music is "sis today" (today's sound mixed with all influences)
