Suthukazi Arosi

When I met Suthu, Ubuntu to Me was no more than a software release, version 5.04, with a vague notion of the deeper meaning...

A song about broken family units, values, broken communities, societies. A black family is broken, the human soul is broken.

A brilliant single and video release. The singing, coordinated with the creative video is superb. The subtitles make it all the more interesting for people who do not speak the local language. Not only the sound but also the meaning is to be appreciated. Nature is calling for humanity to come together, to care for the creation we are all part of.

The song is calling on all human beings to stop this mentality that is tearing us up - and our beautiful planet - from generation to generation. Human beings with all the hatred that has turned against all humanity for centuries. Civilised as we are but still dwelling on racism.

Suthukazi Arosi is a singer, performer, actress and KORA/SAMA Award Winning South African Musical Icon. “Naked” features 10 brand-new tracks recorded over a period of twelve years, 2 remixes, and 3 interludes. The interludes introduce the listener to some traditional and tribal sounds of South Africa. Each with a specific purpose and theme.

We, the people born between 1950-1980, we are the blessed ones. We are the awesome people. Our life is a living encyclopedia. We are also the last of a kind...

When I'm quiet, millions of things run through my mind. When I stare at you, I wonder why I love you so much, in spite of being taken for granted. I am like salt. My presence is never remembered, but my absence makes all things tasteless.
