“‘Entabani’ is a very important album for us, it sees us at crossroads in our career. We’ve fully embraced the idea of writing as a collective, exploring every member’s ideas, experiences and formed them all together to create what we think is our most ambitious album yet. We wanted to explore the concept of African folklore on this album and based a lot of the songs off of old stories found in poems, books and even through word of mouth from our vocalist Lwandile’s older family members”.
The album’s title track is a deep dive into the rich tapestry of African culture. The band explains:
“The word ‘Entabeni’ means ‘The Mountain’ in the African language Isizulu. It explores the concept of initiation in the different tribes and cultures that practice it. We want this first single to really make a statement and believe this is the most confident we’ve ever sounded! We hope our fans can accept and embrace the changes we’ve undergone”.
