Celebrating things I love so much

Thandiwa Mazwai, one of the biggest influences in my life. She represents freedom and true africanism,  in honesty Thandiswa started the trend way back then when her look was weird.  She started a life style for all the colourful sisters of the soil. If she didn’t manage to teach you to be comfortable in bringing modern and tradition together then you will never learn it from anyone else, no one does it like she does. You may not entirely like her but you sure know who she is and are probably moved by her music or authenticity.  The beaded hairstyles, futuristic traditional garments she wears and the burning of Impepho on stage just before her performance is standard procedure today. Her music is often deeply political and her compositions include traditional Xhosa rhythms, Mbaqanga, reggae, kwaito, funk and jazz sounds. Ndiyam'thanda nyani ke qha!!!!

Got to love a sister with funk and soul.... ;)
