The debut album of South African trombonist Malcolm Jiyane, whom Zimbabwean journalist Liam Brickhill called "a new star in the southern sky." Joining the big band of Johnny Mekoa at the age of 13, Jiyane worked with drummers Tumi Mogorosi and Ayanda Sikade, and multi-instrumentalist Mvuso Dimboy. In 2017, as part of the afro-futuristic improvisational collective Spaza, Jiyane was involved in composing the soundtrack for director Sifiso Khanyile's documentary film "Uprize!" about the Soweto uprising in 1976. During the 2020 quarantine, the label Mushroom Hour Half Hour offered Jiyane a contract. Instead of recording new material, Jiyane decided to release a recording from the studio Sumo Sound from 2018, which became his debut album.
