The Rain Dance
“I wish to profile musicians who essentially preserve African indigenous sounds through the mbira, kora, kudu horn, drums and other indigenous instruments. We do not produce a tribal sound. We produce an African genre,” said Dr Galane who humbly considers these instruments as phenomenal, standing victoriously on the world stage. This festival comes at a time when South Africa is experiencing a drought. Dr Galane’s amazing ensemble will indeed bring good rains that nourish our beautiful land the day after the show.
I value the music and dance lessons I learned in Venda when I was in my 3th year of majoring in ethnomusicology through the Witwatersrand University in 2006. After serving at IKS Consulting & Promotions for 7 years as the managing member, I resigned so that I can focus on managing Khwela Factory and awaken our company’s first story told through clothing and textile called Unoyiwawa.
Unoyiwawa is one of the songs in my upcoming album that is centered in a theme of healing and inspiration. The songs I will perform are from this album that is due to be launched in November 2017. Unoyiwawa Dashikis for children (attached) will be available for sale at the show for R400 each. A portion of the funds are donated to the Home of Hope Community Centre’s Arts and Science Programme.
The Arts and Science Programme grew from offering music and visual art classes at Amazing Grace Private School in Randburg to integrating music, dance, visual art, storytelling and science. The Home of Hope Community Centre is a non-profit organization and a public benefit organization that seeks to assist primary and high school learners whose families are experiencing severe financial and social challenges by providing them with educational and nutritional support in Soweto.
