This song makes me proud to be a South African despite the messy state its in right now🇿🇦🥳🙏🏻

[@mrcapybara3579]

South African? This song makes me proud to be a human and alive

[@sunganjimtambo1245]

The blend of old school African groove and modern pop is beautiful!

[@nicolestols994]

It's so nice to hear modern day musicians are using great literature as their inspiration. "beauty like a tightened bow" is quoted from William Butler Yeats's , No Second Troy.

[@patiencemufandaedza1470]

[@impylicious1]

This jam does does it for me!!! Love

[@Lisa-gc8bd]

Gawwwd when are they releasing again, we deserve an album

[@trevorhlungwani2019]

It's a beautiful song,just feel like the starting lead line is similar to Crazy Love II and Diamonds on the Soles on her shoes by Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo from the Graceland album. Maybe the motivation is from there.

[@darendigit]

+Trevor Hlungwani THANK YOUUUUU! I thought i was the only one thinking that

[@bahlemanana8983]

If you listen to some Zimbabwean type of music called Sungura music you will definitely note that's where they got this beat from.Pure sungura music.

[@zuzechinyama8735]

This song its perfect I like it so mch.

[@witchkingofa]

This is so awesome.

[@enyonupamela75]

New fan from Uganda...love!!!!

[@nady151]

Lekker Lekker!!!!! HOMEGROWN Proudly AFRICAN

[@nathanrichardson9927]

Definitely Paul Simon influenced😌👌🏻

[@rsrmax]

Totally diamonds on the soles of her shoes

[@nathanrichardson9927]

+rsrmax I see it now, so good

[@BrianBrayMedia]

Hardly. Graceland was a great album, but Paul Simon’s a New Yorker who was inspired by the music of the South African townships. Beatenberg are actually South Africans who grew up surrounded by it.

[@faithjowett9671]

Saw u guys at the Aviemore stopover we left on Saturday because of the rain but u guys where my favourite that we managed to see

[@cameronpather99]
