about

Having been in the presence of countless South Afrikan jazz Masters throughout my life with all the running arounds, over time I had to learn a lot of discipline during my apprenticeship in this artform as I became a disciple of the music serving under these heroes and heroines. And so I have been in this Self-search path under the guidance and leadership of the Almighty Supreme and the Ancestors in the making of this music, through which I think I am merely a conveyor of (Afrikan Time) messages.

It follows then that ezi ngoma are some of the fruits of a long backyard background history and a testimony of the music of the people from the people by the people from our located spaces and places in the community. I had to honour and pay tribute to these institutions and their people for the teachings and knowledge from the eras and errors of the times. We are thankful and grateful for their contribution in nurturing us in our endeavour to seek and reflect the truth as raw as you hear it live.

Sharing this music wouldn’t be possible without conversation re-arrangements with the Honourable members of the Isandi Sarona Assembly, Honourbale Sister Ladies & Gentle Brothers, Honourable Tshepo Mothwa, Kelebogile Motswatswa, Tumi Tlhoaele, Sibongakonke Mama, Keitumetse Molatlhegi, Elisabeth Callinicos, Lerato Pakade, Sam Nhlengethwa, Mzwandile Buthelezi, Teboho Tamanyane, Lunga Mkila... the list is endless.
