Ngwako T. MalakalakaHOST
You know, George, your 2024 album, White Noise, I'm listening to you and thinking about that now, you know, brought together, as you mentioned, the American church and the South and the African, South African church.
Ngwako T. MalakalakaHOST
And, you know, and the White Noise brings together, you know, these worlds, the musical worlds of yourself, of course, and Usia Makuzeni and Marquise Hill, you know, opening a dialogue between American jazz and Xhosa musical traditions.
Ngwako T. MalakalakaHOST
What fascinates me about that meeting is that it wasn't simply a matter of adding different sounds together.
Ngwako T. MalakalakaHOST
You began working with Sia.
Aubrey MasangoHOST
Yeah.
Nabeela Hasrod GanyGUEST
look, I'm taking students and we're going to Lampopo and they're all speaking Venda and they're speaking Pedi and our students are now speaking Xhosa and they're speaking Zulu.

Clarence FordHOST
We're talking about marrying Western symphonic classical structures with indigenous Isit Xhosa rhythms and the storytelling that goes with that as well.
Clarence FordHOST

AshleyHOST
And we got a spooky scary story time message from someone named DM who said he was raised in Cape Town, South Africa.
AshleyHOST
And though he was raised in a secular faith, his grandfather was raised in a rural village in the Eastern Cape with deep ties to the Xhosa ancestral traditions.
AshleyHOST
I'm sorry if I mispronounced that.
AshleyHOST
I looked it up and I did my best.
AshleyHOST
His grandfather had eventually moved to Cape Town when he was an adult to raise his family and get work.
AshleyHOST
He still was a practitioner of Xhosa.
AshleyHOST
He blessed homes and did healings for local people.
