Remembering Her Hero

Ntate Phillip Tabane has always been one of my musical heroes.I will be blasting “Ngoana oa lela” in his memory as I celebrate a truly free kind of playing and singing. “Ngoana oa lela” is probably my ultimate song by any artist of any time! No song trumps that one in my life. pic.twitter.com/EY5XtFpZOU

Unbreakable Bonds

I have even gone so far as to say when I die,that’s the song that should be played for me. My heart goes out to his son Thabang,who I worked with for a few years. Condolences to the family and friends. #RipPhillipTabane
