“Lingonians, I am thrilled to introduce to you ‘Pula,’ my inaugural solo creation. In my native language of Setswana, ‘Pula’ translates to ‘Rain.’ Throughout history, both kings and queens have prayed for rain, or ‘Pula,’ to bestow its blessings upon their lands and people. My aspiration for this musical endeavour is to provide healing, not only for myself but for all Lingonians from diverse walks of life who will experience this EP. ‘Pula’ stands as a spiritual and sonic expression of affection to my beloved continent, Africa.
This collection resonates with the melodious vibrations of Kekelingo, a language deeply spiritual to me, conveyed through African chants and an abundance of emotions that transport me to a sacred realm.”
The Pula EP will be available on all digital service providers on today.
