Black Motion founders Smol and Mörda have reunited on a new song.
Fans are thrilled to hear the news that Thabo “Smol” Mabogwane and Bongani “Mörda” Mohosana, best known as the founders of Black Motion have reunited. They will be collaborating on a song titled “Takala Zwino,” an ode to friendship.
Speaking to SowetanLIVE, Smol said,
“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.”
“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.”
He also spoke about how the song came to be.
“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.”
“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.”
