"Tswana vocals over a programmed drum track"

(as described by pianist Moses Taiwa Molelekwa himself)

So deep, so melancholic, so impossibly beautiful.

Though originally recorded for 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘴, the song didn't make it on the original release (CD only, 2000), but it was included on the superb 2018 vinyl reissue (Matsuli, South Africa).

Line up:

Moses Taiwa Molelekwa: Ravioli piano, Fender Rhodes, keyboards and vocals
John Hassan: percusssion
Andrew Missingham: drum programming
Lungiswa Plaatjies: vocals
