Thandi Ntuli - INKULULEKO (Official Music Video)

Описание: STREAM ► https://orcd.co/blkelijah

Dedication:

To the Children of Meroë
Willing to do the real work
Who hear Her Whispers in the Wind.
Brave enough to feel
Man enough to cry.

To the Children of Meroë
Who may move fearfully
But keep moving still.

To the Children of Meroë
Expelling the darkness with Your Quest for truth.
Self-Knowing, Self-Loving
Self, community, and Earth healing.

To You do I sing the heart’s Song of Freedom!
Nants’Inkululeko!

With her third studio album ('Blk Elijah and the Children of Meroë') pianist, composer and vocalist Thandi Ntuli begins a journey of self-discovery that picks up where 2018’s Exiled left off. “[In 2020] I was two years into the release of the last album,” she tells Apple Music. “And I was outgrowing the place I was at when I made Exiled; it held space for difficult conversations and difficult feelings—but I didn't want to get stuck in that. I became very intentional about bringing joy back to my life, to my outlook. This album is a continuation and a response to Exiled, and it's sharing little anchors and glimpses of certain things that I felt were responsible for bringing me out of that haze.” Over eight tracks, Blk Elijah and the Children of Meroë journeys through what Ntuli frames as remembering and re-membering. “I like to think of life as cyclical, but I also think that what moves us along is looking back,” she explains. “Re-membering is putting your self together again. I think a lot of people have noticed that about the life that we had accepted as normal, pre-lockdown; there’s a reckoning that you go through when you look back. Along with solely featuring her own vocals across the entirety of the project (rather than her usual slate of guest stars) the album sees Ntuli play piano and synth—and record with the same band she performs with live, for the first time: Sphelelo Mazibuko (drums), Keenan Ahrends (guitar), Ndabo Zulu (trumpet), Mthunzi Mvubu (alto saxophone and flute), Shane Cooper (bass guitar), and Nomphumelelo Nhlapo (percussion)" - Apple Music
