Most people think that the only thing that drummers can do is count, 1..2..3..4 and bang the hell out of a drum kit. Ok...We do, but there's more, a whole lot more. We are the time and rhythm keepers. We make sure you jump up and down all night, "break your neck", never stop moving, then come back next week and do it all over again but we are never recognised.We are the Visibly Invisible.
Take a peek through my eyes and let me show you how things REALLY are. What really happens on tour, on stage, off stage, backstage, after parties, the women and the morning after.
My name is Monde. I am the drummer for the band known as Kwani Experience, I am a composer, producer and the ambassador for Mini pod speakers.
Check out "Music with name vol.4". It's a remix album and the 4th offering of its kind from the M.E.L.T 2000 label. It features some of South Africa’s greatest traditional musicians like Busi Mhlongo, Madosini, Madala Kunene and the amazing new vocalist Bafana Nhlapo from my band to name a few. It boasts a variety of genres like Dance hall, Drum & bass and house music.
For the first time ever, the project has been produced in South Africa by a young South African producer and composer being myself. The past 3 volumes were produced in the US and Europe by acclaimed artists, but me being given the opportunity of producing a project like this, is truly a blessing.
It took 9 months and 11 days of working hard and smart, many bottles of "liquid" and the love for music to create this offering. Which I can proudly say is "My Baby".
Watch this space!!!
