I would like to convey my concerns about the safety and well-being of the people of Cape Town as they navigate the challenges posed by severe storms that have caused widespread damage to their properties. We offer our prayers for their safety and hope that the authorities are taking all necessary measures to provide assistance. I also hope that humanitarian organisations will contribute to the relief efforts. The severity of this natural disaster necessitates a unified response from the community, as individuals put aside their differences to support one another. This serves as a powerful reminder of the awe-inspiring force of nature and its capacity to test our ability to work together, as well as our duty to protect the planet from the effects of climate change.

Sandy B, South African kwaito pioneer, links up with Belgian producer on Afrosynth.
Two artists with a shared conviction that music is inherently political, channelling that urgency into seven tracks of kwaito-rooted but forward thinking electronic music!
Music with something to say.

South African kwaito pioneer Sandy B has joined forces with versatile Belgian producer soFa elsewhere to create a powerful, politically charged album, 'Forward in Reverse (Pt. 1)', out very soon on Afrosynth Records.
Their collaboration started in the shadow of ongoing genocide and atrocities in various parts of the world, with a shared conviction: music is political. Together they’ve channelled this into their work, creating tracks that resonate with defiance, hope and a demand for change - a rallying cry for justice, unity and transformation. May even the most privileged wake up and join the struggle for a better future for all.
