Kukude Phambili. Kukude Emuva- South African Jazz

Kukude emuva, kukude phambili carries such negative connotations, it is however during this lockdown I realized that I'm not stuck in a rut but living in the present and it needs my presence.
I imagined myself in water, not swimming to the back or towards the front, but simply treading and being where I was, it didn't feel like I was drowning.
It is with the same emotions that I put together this mix, when I was absolutely present and not distracting myself by being busy.

This mix celebrates young South African jazz artists such as Mandisi, Zoe, Bokani Dyer, Feya Faku, Nduduzo Makhathini, Thandi Ntuli, Sbu Mash, Siphephelo Ndlovu among others.

I hope it brings you back to the present.
