FREESTYLE JAM WITH MARK

Vulindlela [EP]

Vulindlela

With the help of a friend, I had an idea of producing an E.P
It is still coming but it will require more time and work than I had anticipated.
It is still in its raw state but I love that about it too, it feels like dismembering myself...
Do enjoy,
the final version of it will be featured on the EP,
this is just an early treat.
send message for any suggestions, bless.

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.

IIntloni feat. Sky Dladla

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.
