"I remember you, former president Mandela" is the meaning of the title of the newly released album of Venda classic rhumba musician Muzondwa “Gearbox” Salani.
Salani (47), from Muhuyu outside Thohoyandou, is a soldier during office hours at 15 SAI Battalion, but after work he is an artist. The new CD is called Ndo vha humbula Vho-Mandela and comprises six tracks.
According to Salani, in the title track, Ndo vha humbula, he commemorates the late Nelson Mandela and compares the time when he was still alive with the current situation. His observation is that members of the ANC no longer respect each other. “Even in parliament different political organizations are always fighting during the parliamentary debates. The parliament turned into a fighting zone, quite the opposite from when the late president was still alive."
On the track Tshikolodo, meaning 'credit' in English, Salani says he is referring to the credit of death, and he wants to remind people that they must know that they have an appointment with death one day. On the track Vho nwamabasa he is singing about his mother. He says that she was a traditional healer who helped to cure diseases
All songs were composed by Muzondwa Salani and was recorded at Volcano Studio. For bookings people can contact him at 072 2096 539.
