In my vintage 94 bag lately. The perks of being a feeble old man 😂

@SVG__Collection The music testifies that Hugh Masekela was spending time with Fela Kuti.

James Brown, B.B. King & Bobby Bland performing this blues medley is absolutely hilarious

i miss South Africa so much. if i could i would live or split my time there.

@MdCL Will definitely be there. Last caught you @ Avant Garde Vintage Lounge. Swim Brooklyn!

next stop… South Africa 🇿🇦 ✈️

@Tlhogonolo Whole line up was decent. Buhle & Chino tag team 🔥 🔥 Mthimboski 🔥

Ntse ke le ko IG and I must say Billion killed it ko DeepSoulja maabane 🔥

Throwback to this 🇧🇷 2022 beaut. The bass playing, vocal & brass harmonies 🔥 Sounds & feels right out of 70s Brazil.

@what_playlist 🇧🇷 Bossa legend. My personal stand out jam on this album is Valeu. Dibia$e samples Valeu on the song She’s Kickin, off his Baker’s Dozen hip hop instrumentals 2016 release.

12 July ‘24 sinawe groot. 👊🏾

Was reminded yesterday why I love my job (most of the time) when I had the most fabulous interview with Thandiswa Mazwai about her new album, ‘Sanfoka’. It was entertaining, stimulating, thought-provoking and fun. #interview #journalism @thandiswamazwai @mailandguardian

Cuban trombonist Yudith Rojas performing “O Pato” by João Gilberto.

Radio France’s record collection of around 675,000…

For those of you who see this and follow my music, I appreciate y’all. I really do. So much more to give… stay tuned.

If @VinnyDaVinci @DJFreshSA @djchristossa @OskidoIBelieve @GregMaloka @DjMbuso1 didn’t do what they did for us, what we are doing now would be so much more difficult. For ever indebted to them for showing us what’s possible.✊🏾💐❤️

@Fusi_on_ You played a Nicola Conte jam on that set 🤯 Sunday was quite a spectacle; quality patrons, music & vibes. #MagicDayClub did it once again. 👌🏾

Seamless transitions🫰🏾 #MagicDayClub24

Abenguni Arrangement 👌🏾 Drummer Lulu shines through with a 🔥 drum presence & once again Shox 🙆🏾‍♂️ Niyam’yeka lo mjita! iSesteri uThandiswa going into the different modes of her voice to evoke & touch the audience in certain places, at will, just nje… yeses! Solid display this.

Children of the Soil (fave) Call & response intro by Shox (bass) & Sunnyboy (guitar).👌🏾 Xolani’s pads hover over the song, suspended in the air; spiritual sh*t. 🔥 Shox starts fighting from this jam here! His playing’s reminiscent of Vuyo Shiburi’s playing (tone & style).

Kanti kuliwa kanje kule way? 🔥🔥 Nizalwa Ngobani? The arrangement on this is something else. I like Xolani’s pads that mutate into Rhodes/Electronic piano here. 👌🏾 More 👇🏾 #NPRmusic #TinyDesk #ThandiswaMazwai
