Lelethu - Bazala

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Lelethu) - Bazala directly translated means 'cousins' in Xhosa, one of the official languages of South Africa. In this context "Bazala" is calling to all of humanity to come together as a family, as cousins and listen to the message of this song. The message of this song is about women. It speaks about girls, women, daughters, sisters, mothers, and grandmothers and how they are all made uniquely in a way man can not comprehend. They are conquerors.

They are leaders. They are divine in there own right. They bare sons and daughters who are either a success or a menace to society. As Kahlil Gibran wrote in The Prophet, "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." As much as they want the best for their children, they cannot control their destiny. "Bazala" also speaks about a woman's love, her kindness, gentleness, wisdom and patience. It speaks about how fragile, yet how strong she is. In the end the song states that all women need to be valued, nurtured, respected and prayed for because there is nothing like the essence and spirit of a woman. As in the word's of Oveous Maximus in his piece Dulce de Leche, "This will always be a man's world under the supervision of a women."

This release is dedicated to all the women and girls around the world.
