  3. Koša Ke Nnete – Song is Truth


BLK Thought Music in concert present Koša Ke Nnete – Song is Truth featuring Bheki Khoza (guitar/piano), Koketso Poho (voice/flute) , Lucky Mqoboli (actor, Isithembiso) and a special screening of BLK Thought Symposium’ short film: Imbamba (uthunyiwe).

For BLK Thought Music, the stage is a space for truth-saying. Hence the timely staging of Koša Ke Nnete – Song Is Truth.

Truth here is not a feat of socio-political sloganeering, to be sure. Rather, it is a spirited musical rendition of fragility of human life in a decaying black urban setting. For this reason, it is a com-passionate expression of a frustrated human longing for freedom through redemption.

The idea of redemption is, of course, at the core of BLK Thought Music’s aesthetic vision. So that to watch Koša Ke Nnete is to feel and experience the limits and/or the power of human aspiration. To watch Koša Ke Nnete is to hear and experience committed music, under the influence of the church bell and child-like wailings. Under the influence of spoken word (poets and failed prophets). Under the influence of amaculo (asewisile) namagwijo akuKomani yeZibele (Queenstown) and Kiba in Ga-Matlala, Limpopo.
