GENESIS: "in the Basotho Genesis story, humans emerged from a cave deep within the earth. This cave is a**occiated with the womb. the pa**age leading to the outside world is like the birth canal. at the place where humans reached the surface was a muddy bed of reeds. Humans had to emerge through the mud and reeds to reach daylight and begin life on earth. this place is called "
NTSOANA TSATSI", which means "where the sun rises" or "where the light comes from"...
PITSO RAMAKHULA is an expressionist...having crafted his skills initialy as an emcee he took a liking to understanding more about the powers of creative writing, ergo his (rightly concluded) affinity for poetry and title of poet. PITSO RAMAKHULA, being one half of the group
OTHER INTELLIGENCES (
O.I.N.T.S) with fellow musician and long time brother in the "cause"
SAN-HEDRIN has been involved in music and music creation for over a decade now.
having performed at such prestigious events as the
MORIJA ARTS and CULTURAL FESTIVAL (
Macufe) in
LESOTHO where he is from and countless other live music events, he has built strong ties with the live music world and with that all the more grew his love for JAZZ music.
"
Ntsoana Tsatsi" is the end result of years of musical honing, of connections and friendships borne out of a strong appreciation for the wonders of MUSIC (sound and power)...it sees PITSO RAMAKHULA collaborating with Acclaimed JAZZ BAND "
QILOANE" who have played for and alongside HEAVY HITTERS in the Afro JAZZ game such as
BUDHAZA Mapefane to truely bless those with open ears... it is an album that celebrates "THE NOW" as PITSO likes to call it, it speaks on life, with a wide array of subject matter that sees him branching into more circles of discussion than the typical so called concious speaker...
NTSOANA TSATSI is set to drop on the international community VERY SOON under
AUDIBLE BRAILE ENTERTAINMENT...
N.B already its burning up radio charts in the Kingdom of LESOTHO
