Tangent....................

Hold me back am on a roll mense.

The concept of success has always escaped me, I remember battling with it & I remember talking about it with an ex of mine when I was only 19.....what is it? How do you know when you have attained it? (It’s like those corny ass generic questions that magz ask when they are too lazy to conduct a proper interview)& a minute later I seem to be on the way to finding a common area, with this at time hellish concept.......well I would not say I have total cracked that nut....but am slowly getting there, I guess this age thing is not total bad.

Wisdom, Hey!

A minute with the Tutu Puoane Quartet.

GeEpeRs cReEpErS !!a week and a bit latter am only writing about this...........but hey anywho.

I can do the movies solo, I can do the gallery solo, but a music venue with a restaurant vibe, well it’s actually a restaurant but just go with me on this one nonetheless,  where everyone is there with their persons having  dope convo & and some  nice Sunday supper....I don’t know about that.

Hmmm maybe that is why my self-conscious self  could not thoroughly enjoy the music, which was dopy man (don’t know if that is the way to describe the vocal ability of one of SA’s most incredible jazz vocalist, who was rocking it with a crazy band..........& and man was the dude on the piano, Ewout Pierreux , mean!!  It’s a petty that I could not see him, I curse that pillar.

The other reason I kick myself....had to leave prematurely ,  is that I did not hear her sing live “Mpho”, which she co-wrote with Neo Muyanga, I just love how this brother can seamlessly sows together Sesotho lyrics.

I am waiting for the rest of the masses in SA to pay her the attention she deserves, and I will be there holding a massive placard in neon light say”I TOLD YA”.

Note to self:visually needed sooner rather then later.

Music you beaut

 I live for god, my ancestors, my fam & soul piercing art(this is a wide concept)....& this is why......

I have always threatened of going to one of the Pan African Space Station( PASS) events & well I finally put it into action, eGug’s thebe kwaLanga & boy oh snap boy what an event , what made me sad was that I missed ntate Phillip Tabane & only the universe knows when I will ever get to see him perform.

When I saw them carrying those drums in and then saw the great man himself walking into Guga’s thebe with Neo Muyanga, who am also humongous fan of, or stalker fan as I would say to my friends, for a minute I just wanted to say screw the fact that I will not get a taxi home or any other mode of transport home & would have to resort to calling be dad to come and get me...and do not get me started on that but, alas logic set in pity had to bounces........To other important matters & what untimely consoled me & what was one of my top three performances,(which include mama  uSibongile Khumalo & Zap Mama) ever! Thandiswa Mazwai  oh my goodness really was she serious......her performance was so effortless & that is what made it amazing , simple & seamless lyric but the thought & feelings they invoke well........that I cannot ever explain.

Next Tutu Pouane, & should the universe conspire with me, squeeze in Dj Premier.

"the quiet violence of dreams"

Earlier on today I watched 'quiet violence of dreams' only got there during the second act, that's me at my best...long story the good thing is I got in for free yey for me, but you know what I enjoyed it & got it nonetheless,maybe its because I read the book.I liked their use of humor to break the depressing story line.If you are conservative, it that you you shriek at the sound of a swear word.....I do not think you should attempt it.
I just cannot help think if Sello Duiker was alive,god rest his soul what would he say about his beautiful piece.....hmmm
