Strings 'n Skins

Welcome and greetings...

Hola

Music, it seems, is the most elevating external influence of mankind. Music, it seems, is the toughest profession in Mzanzi.... and musos, it seems, have the most fun and spirit earning nothing and giving everything. Why?

Some ponderous thoughts that each of us need to 'chew' over. The answer lies with us, but in which pocket?

Most of our works now available on CDBaby. I have the store placed on the right for your convenience...

Check out the 'GIGS' page for upcoming gigs and happenings. Join us if you feel for some rhythmic interpretations of African sounds and melodic enchantments. I'm sure you would...

Don't forget, we are both up and running on Facebook and there is a Strings & Skins group as well as a Vivid Afrika group there for you to join if you are not already on there.

Passages in Time is going... so get your copy soon - or it just might be too late.

Peace to Africa.

Ashish
