about

South African producer and DJ RMBO presents on POST POST record label his latest release, Nonyana.
Nonyana takes RMBO´s musicianship skills to a whole new level. This genre-defying song lays out a colorful palette of sounds. Acoustic, electric and synthesized instruments interplay perfectly to create an organic feeling in the best beat maker tradition – this song reminds us of the techniques of sampling maestros like The Avalanches.
Nonyana is built around a strong vocal interaction between the lead vocals (by RMBO himself) and chorus – in the best BLK JKS style, laid over two different rhyrhms, including a trap break with a hiller bass line.
From its beautiful melodies of flute and Mpumi Mcata´s electric guitar to its arty cover (by Zweli Sophethe), Nonyana exhales a deep love for nature, manifested in the poetic lyrics in Sesotho sa Leboa, aka Sepedi (Northern Sotho), RMBO´s mother tongue.

lyrics

“Nonyana tše Pedi, Engwe ke Mantso, Engwe ke Mošweu, Fofa Mantso, Fofa Mošweu, Nonyana tše pedi, Didula mohlareng”

“Two birds, One is Blacky, One is Whitey, Fly blacky, Fly whitey, Two birds, They live in a tree”
