Thanks for hanging in there with me after a brief hiatus…

Welcome to the 34th installation of #musicamondays #MusicMondays, which features music from around the globe. Each song is selected to start your week off on the good foot! One still in the bed and the other in another country…

This week’s tune is from musician Jimmy Nevis, who hails from the Mother City – Cape Town. In this song, he reps the Cape Flats‘ postal code 7764.

If you want to read up more on the Cape Flats, check out a book review I did a few years back on Steffen Jensen‘s “GANGS, POLITICS AND DIGNITY IN CAPE TOWN.”

Enjoy the week ahead!

For a mellow morning, I hope you enjoy the sounds of American singer, Somi, and world renowned trumpeter Hugh Masekela. She is of Rwandan and Ugandan origins and he from a town in South African region of Mpumulanga that used to be called Witbank, now it’s Emalahleni. Go in peace, my friends.
