Lizwi
The voice of the
Tribal Queen
By Nyasha Themba

When Black Coffee plays, tremors are felt in the
earth's crust, star constellations vibrate with energy and lunar cycles shift.

Such
was the case with Lizwi when Black Coffee featured, in one of his compilations,
a Kususa and Quetonik remix of her song "Traveller".
With

Queen".
Lizwi
chats with us about her emergence into the mainstream space, the creative
processes that drive her as well as totally cool revelations about how she
taught herself how to play the guitar.
Oh
by the way, Sun El also gets crushed on somewhere along the line!
