Morda and Thabo Smol – Black Motion music group have reunited following a messy split that occurred two years ago.
According to SowetanLIVE, Smol said that their reunion will birth a song titled Takala Zwino – which is an ode to friendship.
Thabo said their separation affected him, but he is happy it happened, as it gave him clarity.
“Some of our supporters met at our shows years ago and are now a family – these people have put their lives in our hands as musicians, so I had no choice but to consider them when it came to keeping and sustaining the brand Black Motion,” said the drummer.
“I also look at music groups such as Ladysmith Black Mambazo who have been in existence for over 40 years… there’s no way they didn’t have problems or others wanting to leave the group. So, during that time, I looked for solutions more than anything else.”
The collaboration will drop on the 10 May, and it features other artists.
“Takala Zwino is about savouring the good times with good friends. That nothing else matters but the present moment with your inner people or bloodline. It means that through anything, we will make it… despite what we go through, my day one is still my day one,” he said.
“I was playing live a couple of months ago sharing this new song; this sparked interest from Afrikan Roots, and Buckz said he too would like to hop on. Somehow our live session was shared on the Tsa ko Pitori Instagram page of us in the studio which Mörda saw… he then asked to join in the song. I saw no issue and I agreed mainly because I knew the joy it’d bring to people.”
