This expression, pays ode to my sister who was chosen by my ancestors to be a vessel for our family’s life experience. It discusses how her body goes through this rich, complex process of performing between the spiritual realm and our physical space. It’s the constant struggle between balancing the flow of existence for herself and the identity of our family name

Midrand

Sometimes, you need to get out of the nest and get some perspective, for these few days it meant. HELLO Joburg🌇, well Midrand/waterfall city at least. You can't be in water and not visit the Mall of Africa. The architecture and special design were quite different from what you would regularly find in Durban or Cape Town. The vibe of Midrand (Joburg) and Gauteng, in extent, is of a city that is hustling and bustling alive and makes you feel at place unlike the streets of Durban where everything feels like it's decaying with pieces and bits of hope🕯🌤 here and there.

These are some of the shots 📸 I got, at the mall and in the surrounding area, my phone died along the way so I couldn't get other shots.

The energy in Joburg reminded me of what Durban could be if it gets its head out of politics into creating a business and tourism centre much bigger and welcoming than the Cape as it already is.

Energy is rejuvenated to do more now.

A Magical Mantra

Nia Pearl and Kelvin Momo unite in a harmonious dance of creativity, birthing the mesmerizing opus known as “Enchanted Mantra,” graced by the talents of Stixx and Mzizi. Upon my first listen, I traveled immediately to past versions of myself as if reintroducing myself to this current reality. It was DEEP!

This celestial fusion of deep house rhythms and soul-stirring melodies births a track that resonates with ethereal beauty and profound emotion.

The journey of “Enchanted Mantra” commences with a lush, otherworldly overture that whispers of the enchantment to come. Kelvin Momo, a maestro of immersive soundscapes, unveils his artistry in full bloom. His tapestry of sound, woven with deep bass pulses, intricate percussions, and ethereal synths, forms a hypnotic tapestry that beckons the soul.

Nia Pearl's vocals, a gift from the heavens, weave a spellbinding magic through the intricate maze of instrumentation. Her voice, at once potent and soothing, glides effortlessly, a celestial thread binding the music with grace. Meanwhile, in a recent collaboration, Daliwonga and Mas Musiq unveiled "My Love," featuring Nia Pearl, Nicole Elocin, and Bontle Smith, a testament to her ever-evolving artistry.

Stixx and Mzizi, with their unique artistry, sprinkle their essence upon the tapestry, adding layers of depth and complexity. Stixx's velvety harmonies and poetic verses dance in harmony with Nia Pearl's vocals, while Mzizi's melodies weave a rich tapestry that seamlessly intertwines with the existing symphony.

The production, crisp and polished, unveils the full majesty of the sonic landscape, inviting the listener to immerse themselves fully in its beauty. “Enchanted Mantra” shines brightly in the realm of deep house, a beacon of artistry and innovation. Together, Nia Pearl, Kelvin Momo, Stixx, and Mzizi have birthed a creation that transcends the ordinary, offering a musical experience that is both immersive and transformative.

This collaboration is expressed as a testament to the sonic enchantment that unfolds when talented souls merge their creativity, crafting a force that transcends time and space.
