about
Mhleli is the one who sits on the seat of leadership and is the second name of our lead singer. Wami means mine, a literal english translation would be my redeemer. The song is about one answering their calling in life and leaving all that they know to follow this calling from the heavens or rather the earth if one is over the sky gods.
lyrics
Naba bathi nangumsebenzi(here they are saying there is work to be done)
Igama lakho libiziwe(and your name has been called)
Shiyemova konke okwaziyo(leave behind all you know)
Utwasel'ugwazi kancono (You are being initiated to know better than you do now)
Igama lakho libiziwe(and your name has been called)
Shiyemova konke okwaziyo(leave behind all you know)
Utwasel'ugwazi kancono (You are being initiated to know better than you do now)

The Brother Moves On Johannesburg, South Africa
The ghost inside the magic, the stranglers of an innocent idea of bringing performance art to its knees through costume, music and storytelling...

UMDALI
by Malcolm Jiyane Tree-Osupported by 11 fans who also own “Mhleli Wami”
One of my favourite albums in the last couple of years. Malcolm Jiyane is an unselfish bandleader who gives all the musicians space to shine, so it presents very much as a band album. Very accessible, but has deceptive depth and gets better with every listen.
