This performance is a self introspection, a closer look at Sky’s journey in music, telling unheard stories of struggles with identity, expectations, changing times all through song. As a Neo- traditional, Sky believes that her life begins with God/uQamata and her ancestors, hence this performance is named after her clan name. She felt that she needed to go back to the source in order to be able to move forward. The music performed are original compositions by Sky Dladla, where she explores instruments such as the Mbira, marimba, mtshingo, uhadi bow, mrhubhe accompanied by keyboard, drum kit, bass guitar and a violin.
