I titled the album Reflections because I am reflecting on my music career.

But if you are going to wear blinders then you do not know the world.

I look at an ant and I see myself: a native South African, endowed by nature with a strength much greater than my size so I might cope with the weight of a racism that crushes my spirit.

Be careful, think about the effect of what you say. Your words should be constructive, bring people together, not pull them apart.

And why is our music called world music? I think people are being polite. What they want to say is that it's third world music. Like they use to call us under developed countries, now it has changed to developing countries, it's much more polite.

I do not sing politics. I merely sing the truth.

In the West the past is like a dead animal. It is a carcass picked at by the flies that call themselves historians and biographers. But in my culture the past lives. My people feel this way in part because death does not separate us from our ancestors.
