Mabena102 joins Sims Noreng on “Hololo,” and the run’s fourth track takes up the energy again after the inquiring “Imibuzo” sat in.
Here the beat jumps, the log drum energetic, closer in tempo to “Mabhebheza” than the slower, more reflective pieces this run has included as well. Nothing tentative about its entrance.
Sims Noreng leads, loose, riding the rhythm, not working through anything heavy. Mabena102 replies with equal ease, filling in spaces without disturbing the lightness already established.
Four tracks in and the cycle continues to swing: remembrance, celebration, questioning and now ease again. Nothing heavy carries over into this track.
Play Hololo when the mood is ready to get light again, no questions asked.
