When beauty,
brain and song stands before you and whispers sweet melodies into your heart,
the only thing one can do is just seat
and let everything slowly sink in.
Moholo Live
House was set a light on Saturday night when
the rebel
sisters hosted their monthly Cypher at the beautiful venue overseeing
the greater part of Khayelitsha.
The rebel sister cypher is a show meant to
uplift and showcase the amazing talent that female artists have to offer.
An all-female
line up was on display on the night accompanied by Beautiful music, thought
provoking poetry and a heated debate that had everyone thinking about how woman
are treated worldwide.
Regardless the
show’s diversity, every act had something in common to share and that is to
educate, motivate, preach freedom of
mind and equality.
On the line-up
was Millicent,
her unique traditional sound on partially urban beats that gave a fresh kick to
traditional music.
Noma’africa, proved that praise poetry is not only for man. Her poetry had
people in suspense with what she had to say next.
Zimbini used her language of birth (Xhosa) in her
poetry to spread the word of woman empowerment and change through.
The closing acts
brought the live house down with their amazing flows, lyrics and dope beats.
Tsidi rapped her way into many people’s hearts with her wicked beats and
amazing flows on the mike.
Sister Anela made dancehall look beautiful, fun and melodic, her voice and
shifts from singing to poetry had people asking for more.
The day was
closed off with good traditional stews and a debate, monitored by Host and
female MC Milz, on different types of how woman have been oppressed and
still are today. This touched a lot of people’s hearts and emotions where high.
It’s really
refreshing to see woman taking a stand and demanding their rightful place in
society.|
