Nomhle looking like one of Africa Museum StatuesWorld On Press
If you think backup singers have no style wait and see for the new Nomhle coming out album. Last night we relinquish the cold and find ourselves at the Bassline-live on stage Nomhle featuring Nokwazi Dlamini. “There was a zulu on my stoep” when Dlamini with her purple Zulu outfit took the stage and the colourful Zulu dancers. How old are you sisi? Don’t you get tired of lifting your legs? AYISECA crew loves your sincerely and upbeat Zulu feel. The venue was attended by music industry old fellows. We manage to buy tickets on time, cash bar and no VIP treatment. The event was attended by backup singer.
This was a night of reunion to the likes of Shadon Dee of ‘local as lekker fame,’ Khanyi Maphumulo who was looking like one of Arthur’s dancers in a bigger picture. Sisi Herbex works wonders. Saw Pu2ma, Zuluboy and Camagwini another Native Rhythms reunion. Camagwini, where are you hiding these days? We hardly see you.... love your sexy car, but loose that bling and African jewellery... jewellery police come on call! Still on Pu2ma, what’s eating you girl, you seem to be losing weight every time I see you. Ringo Mandlingozi was all over the place, acting like a student who has just tested negative. He even took over the microphone from Mbuso who was sharing the stage with Nokwazi. Bhuti don’t you tired of fame?
When Nomhle took the stage we were confused-she came in wearing, black skirt, black and white top with a wine red figure belt, another fashion chaos. Love her white with black lace shoes. Uyanda Mbuli must be jealous. The black skirt looked smashed. I hope it’s not one of Museum Africa stolen items. AYISECACE! confused by her eye lashes and blue sky mascara. Nomhle sings with passion, her simplicity adds to the velvet toned voice. Her opening song reminded me of Mama Letta Mbuli. Salif Keita has some influence on her vocals. In the song ‘Africa’ that kept us warm yet dazed, Nomhle depict unusual corners of Africa, including her birthplace, Port Elizabeth. ‘Ingane’ featuring Zuluboy. Nomhle becomes self narrative of the neighbour who abused the child. Nomhle calls for calm in the song. Despite all the efforts the event was well attended. Thanks to some guy name Sisa who made it all possible for the night. Next time do invite more media. AYISECACE!
