The song makes its imprint
in the air, making itself felt,
a felt world. Here, there,
the stunned silence
of knowing I will not remember
what I heard;
futures that will never happen,
a fluidity we cannot achieve
except as a child
creating possibility.
This is the untranslatable song
hidden in the earth.

this is a very interesting set of songs, I like it very much, thank you. Kippie Moeketsi is wonderful.
Thanks! Kippie is one of the true legends of South African music. His brother was one of the people who taught Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) piano.
Fantastic photos you have there. Thanks for sharing it! I expect to see more of these kind of photos the next time i visit your site. Wait till I listen to those songs!
I really liked kippie and boyoyo, is all of this recent stuff? some of them sound like it was recorded 20 years ago (sipho mabuse). Is the city your living in? I must say it’s very beautiful.
There are really wonderful pictures here. South Africa is a piece of heaven with beautiful places to visit.
Thanks for the positive comments! The pictures are indeed of my town, Johannesburg. One of the most dangerous cities in the world, and yet so pretty. The northern suburbs, where I live, allegedly contain the largest planted forest in the world. I don’t know how true that is, but if you look at JHB on Google it’s pretty impressive seeing all the trees like that, from the top. The songs range from the late thirties up till about two years ago, and they’re in order of release. Thanks again fo those positive comments, see you all at the World Cup in 2010!
