STRAB

What an awesome weekend.

Went up to the STRAB Festival in Malongane, Mozambique.


What an absolutely amazing festival. Great Venue Great Vibe, Cold Beers and Cool Music.

If you are a local music officiando then this is a must on your music calender.

With Local South African Artists like, Mrs B, Null, Black Cat Bone and the like, it was a four day sensory overload.

I must give a big send out to Pedro (Mrs B), Andre, and Hoot an Annie for the highlights of what was altogether one of the best weekends of my year to date.

When not enjoying the great music, you are overwhelmed by the beauty of Mozambique, the pristine beaches and crystal clear water.

All in all a great experience and one I definitely will be doing again next year.

Mozambique

Where blue water meets white sand
The ocean has a name she is called India
And the tall trees dance in the wind
It's a slow dance can't you see
Ah you beauty
Beautiful Mozambique

We must get back to the garden

And I beg of you
For forgiveness for all the deeds
Our fathers did do
Surely comes a time
Many years of peace and prosperity
Ah you beauty
Beautiful Mozambique

Everyday I wake up dreaming
This is where I want to stay
Far from the black city
Where the dragon wants your soul
The system wants control
But I will not go
I will stay here where the water meets the sand
In this wild and wonderful land
Ah you beauty
Beautiful Mozambique

I often think about you Gito
When I walk barefoot on the sand
We must get back to the garden
We have to get back to the garden
