"...and then I knew as the leaves fell around me that life is transient...and those moments we call good are only so because God has made all things good."

Introducing the brand newest prince to enter Musewe lineage......the young Taurai Idan Musewe :))))))


This to me is a vision of reality, reminiscent of how we come >> forgotten origins. We are like flowers that are here now and gone tomorrow, the beginning and end, an opportune moment in the hands of the Divine One. My gift to him is existence. His to me is meaning.

*__<<** coFFee **>>__*

Deep, brown, brewed steeped/ sleep creeps evasively dancing on the fringes of light left luminously as fragments of imagination pass/ coffee you were last, a sole sojourner at midnight/ crushed, by a lust for a scent, imbibed not innocuously you pulled them in/ the fruit of your fracture became irresistible to him who dominated your art/ prostituted, pleathered, proliferated indulgently, manufactured for the sake of the few among the inebriated massive/ coffee is the color of your skin.....

Mr. Loverman




Organize!

A word imparted from Chevelle and Collin, dynamic duo.  Organize Family, make connections to forge relationship to create collectivity.  There is power in unity, it commands blessing. 

Chevelle Franklyn of Mr. Loverman and Dancehall Queen fame, yes...THAT Chevelle.  We got tickets to a concert that she was headlining and there witnessed the power of the prophetic delivered straight to the chest over rhythm style art.  Wow... she was speakin straight to my spirit fam, i was moved. 



Many other Ghanaian artists did their thing too and let me say dat these cats have mastered reggae - they own it like!

Chevelle got an amazing story of redemption.  Now her art serves Jesus in a most incredible way...organize!
Her and her husband, Collin, are some kool, down to earth people.  A friend organized for a few artists to link them up by their hotel and just reason some.  No charge, no airs, no graces just real people concerned about the Kingdom of God bussin it out.

One of the things that God affirmed through this is that now is Africa's season and time.  It's for African's to recognize that and flow in it so as to allow this season to be everything it's meant to be.  It won't be in us being like other kingdoms present or past, it has to be something new.  It's already here, in Africa....it's already happenin. 

Organize...we gotta look at ourselves and what we got in our hands.  We gotta be like the mighty Moses who wielded simply a staff to defeat powers and principalities.  These are the weapons of our warfare.  And it's all about nation buidling...discipling them into God's image and likeness.

Organize famz!  Watch and see, seek and learn.....Change is here.

The Power of Rejection

The place I'm at - resembling, masquerade parading as strange - face to face with my Image and Likeness, natural as air...
Is this the fellowship of suffering? 
Is this the landscape to which You woo soujourners? 
Is this the long hallowed fullfillment of expectation where men become lions and women, Queens?

I have been here before...carries the scent of rememberance, an entrenchment in memory.  A paved place strange and inviting, dark and comforting...the depth of humanity, grasping, loosing itself into the fullness of my experience.

I am!
Broken, yet knowing the Embalmer who sutures loss and binds anguish...
I am!
Let my broken soul fly and my alloy fragmented intellect pierce your horizon, let this thornfully tormented body be raised...
I am and will be though my humanity threatens to tear its limbs from its spirit, the same begs for a God....holy and true, One who will extend the ancient decree of mercy's triumph over judgement, forgiveness in penetance. This...because, my own depraved constitution cannot acost the Great Approachable One...

In this longing fall You find me, in this unquenchable stagger I am known by Him who knows me.  Raised not in the disobedient winds of the prince of the air, threatening to dislodge a man off his solid rock foundation, never minding miry clay with your footprints in it...a dreary territory long hazed over by the power of salvation...I have long been lost....

"Know it's been a long time....."


Who knows what song that line comes from??????  Haha....Tapfuma the Soul Shyfta - check out the track Diamond Soul.  A track dedicated to mothers of revolution, daughters, sisters and not least of all wives ;) 

Where to get this??  Check out www.facebook.com/soulshyfta ....delight yourself famz...hope the music blesses you.  The music is about change, truth, grace and growth.

As we are in Ghana now, it's been awesome taking in the new sights and sounds.  Getting to know ppls and how they move.  Most exciting is knowing that this is destiny....feeling a sense of purpose and God's calling has been invaluable... many have been my plans and desires but God's purpose prevails.  And God is great.

Aight ppl's dem, trust y'all are well.  keep on keepin on!

*********African Muzik



What does it mean for me to make African music? Is it delivering on diatribal rhythmic sensations in African dialects? Is it the incorporation of cow hide, acacia bark and cowrie shells into the enveloping instrumentation on the track? Is Africa merely the sum of her languages, flora and fauna?

In my sight, Africa is the experience of my struggle....the space of my labor pangs and so the place of my birthing. Africa is the voice of my calling through darkness and mist into a place of great clarity. Africa....the great inner grappling where deep wrangles with deep....the journey of my salvation, the sound of redemption of mind, body and soul in totality.....the fulcrum where the Great Counsellor centrifugally engages beings of a created order. 

And that is the Africa in my music.

Winter Season is ......Freezin

Winter time>>>>>>you would most probably posit that growing up a Canadian....not only can i handle the cold, but that i luv it! 
You would be wrong!  Difference is tho, in Canada we have a few little perks like central heating and insulation.  I have yet to experience those *little* joys out here in South Africa... mainly cuz folks are so used to it, they don't see a need for central heating, etc.  But i'm determined that should the occassion present itself in my times, I will construct a domicile with ALL of those perks.  Let it be a first, it certainly won't be a last....

My bad about posting the raw footage of the last performance....da truth is simply that i need access to an internet connection that won't take a week to upload it.  Ya, gotta work on dat one!

Differently, peep the jewellery pictured below - u want sum for your wife, girl, cousin or granny?  Get @ me.  Gauranteed to make even the dryest come out flyest.... "Feathers by Elle" - Ellevate Your Nature



Many styles available, orders are also accepted.....
Bless'd!
