Here is a special backstage moment with the entire team going through our finale at least an hour before our scheduled time for ‘line-check’… and just to be clear, non of us was ‘late’ as I have read in some of the comments here on social media. I come here to express our shared appreciation for everyone that attended An Ongoing Rehearsal, everyone that understood the potency of the vision, and everyone that showed us love and respect. Of course, we had prepared a lot more for you, but as it was announced “ALL KIPPIES’ PERFORMANCES ARE RUNNING LATE” — unfortunately for us this resulted to our set being cut midway. As one friend commented: “the set sounded like a beautiful story that was unfolding but then interrupted and deprived an end.” This is not far from the truth, I had worked on this piece as a ‘suite’ which meant that to understand the intended message, this had to be experienced in its totality. Months of work went behind this presentation and its design, and for that I would like to appreciate every member of Ake(s)tra, that was on stage and the ones you never got to see: Guest Artist: @aya_ntanzi , @thando_zide , Benjamin Jephta , dieTshepisotsaModiga , Ndabo , @muneyi_ and @lindasikhakhane_ . Band: @robinfassie_ , @jpsax13 , daluxolo , Zibusiso Makhathini , @dalisu_ndlazi , @sphelelomazibuko and Velly.thabo Surprise Guests: maestro @herbietsoaeli , @omagugumakhathini and @paras_sibalukhulu_dlamini Animation: crozier.sean We are indeed “Rehearsing Future Sounds” — “Not Yet Uhuru”

Yo Fam, I know you have waited for this one!!! And finally ‘Re-Amathambo’ remix by FKA MASH is now out feat @anna_widauer_music I’m so glad these songs/messages are finding life in various places and particularly the so called ‘dance floor’ — that is incredibly important for me and as always, gratitude to big bro Black Coffee for guiding this part of my journey 🕯️❤️ PS Stockholm, see you this evening w/ Ababhemu
