talented port elizabeth

Hey y'all...

My EC, wow, I'm in awe of you and the fantastic rooted art.... I have lived here for so long and little do most know that many musical genres thrive.... Thank you NMBT for listening sessions... Free at a jazz club in the CBD... Down town's get a revamp and it will look awesome when done.

Back yesterday afternoon's euphoria... Listening session started later than it was meant but when it did it blew up. We heard bands own the stage from New Afroteens, Asanda backed by New Afroteens to a rasta band to Poetic Soul to Take note, the sermon I'd heard Sunday mornin' was happening before my very own eyes as Faith was on Fire. PE bands rocked the souls of their crowd to the core and we,
individually present there lapped it up like milk.

Wow we were moved beyond words, each artist brought to the fore their A-game and all I kept wanting to chant: More fire, fire non-stop burn 'til the itty bitty morn'... Last night was magical! The cherry on top of the cake was that Take Note is going to be on the Joy of Jazz stage along with the New Afroteens and well Take Note won the recording deal with Native Rhythms that should be out before the Joy of Jazz takes place....

The Golliwood big wigs loved the venue. It was just a fab' afternoon / evening out for music lovers and those supporting their loved ones, it trully was magical. The blessings have come and shall continue to reign....

it's been a while to get to this...By Zomzi Ntshona written: 19 January

it has been a million miles to here
and yet the walk is nowhere near
it's half way mark...
questions stagger-stumblingly to be answered
to find that silence is the answer sought
the trial began as u refused to look
and ended without just cause
yet the path you walked in circles in
stammering like a drunkard
 to be found
swimming in the pool of insanity
as the realm of possibilty reared
it's head in your reality...
you found the lessons learnt meaning less and less
but relevant in some circle centres
almost ambilical and screaming to 
 be cut...
you breathed
that this reality is alterable
if the seeker dares to just believe
so that dream can be...

being back

Hello everyone...

It has been a min honestly, well a hot one at that. Ushering in the year of writing, for profuse statements need to be made and some of us need the wholesomeness in them....

I breathe, I have always been called. Many things have brought us to this moment, my favourite quote was utterted by mam'Albertina Sisulu: "We are required to walk our own road- and then stop, asses what we have learnt and share it with others. We can do no more than tell our story."

I will share my story n our findings along the way...

Realising our greatness is blessed... I will share the writings of those who move me, this is a love movement... I am blessed enough to share.

I went to church today and the sermon theme was titled: Faith on Fire... It touched me. I am not waiting to be moved by something or someone, I am stepping out in faith and trusting that this is it. I am becoming wholehearted, there are many things that make me and love is visible so I will share that along with it all. The pastor shared the most profound things in his own words having been moved by the light that guides him, he uttered: " ...be consistent about the things you are believing God for..." That made so much sense for what followed was "... Be cautious of adding the negative to your trust..." etc. It iis not hard to be within that, people will always not believe or retort to the bad but you can choose to not live in that. The moment and time have come to choose your own standing.

Sharing is caring, love your self... Find that which can make you at peace... Seek zen... Love and light
