String me up

Yesterday I went to a jazz performance by Selaelo Selota and (ntate) Ngwako Manamela. Lets just say because of the vibes, it was indeed a hot night in Grahamstown 🙂 .

At one point of the show, I really wished I were a guitar to be played. I had this sense that through it, I could go on this journey of an untold destination, which I felt as I listened to the music. I guess whoever said that music was the food to the soul was correct because what I felt transcended my physical being. Hence this feeling I had of wanting to go to an untold destination. (And of course, by subtle implication with Selaelo as my companion because ntate Ngwako simply invoked an image of my own father!)
