amaXesha by Bongeziwe Mabandla
Meaning “The Times”, amaXesha is also sound of the enigmatic spirit of African soul - as Mabandla is known - distilling the themes of time and compatibility within the vast fields of love. Written during South Africa’s stringent pandemic lockdown, Mabandla found the time in that isolation to introspect on the importance of connection, especially how this impulse can keep us going back to the same kind of experiences and outcomes in our love relationships. “The loops of our lives,” he calls it.
