No lies, I used to be patiently ready for this 14th studio Album from Good Giddimani alongside producer Victor Gallardo a.ok.a Sinky Beatz, the loopy gifted music producer from Barcelona, Spain. The producer is thought for mixing world music with a deep specialization in Reggae Roots and Dub. And which you can hear clearly on “Sibusiso”, a reputation derived from the Nguni (Bantu nomads) phrase busisa, that means “to bless” or ‘Blessings’. A well-picked title that much more is smart after listening to the album.
As at all times, the Giddimani/Sinky Beatz collaborations have that laid-back rootsy dubby vibe ‘wha mi like’. A vibe that immediately hits you on the primary observe, “One other Marcus Garvey”, as much as the final one, “Joburg”. A observe that was launched earlier this yr. Simply as ‘Joburg’, the Metropolis of Gold, the album breathes the adventures of Good Giddimani in South Africa the place he just lately deepened his reference to South Africa via a collection of serious occasions, one in all them being that on February 22, 2025 the place the Singer made his long-awaited debut efficiency in South Africa on the Rhythms United Reggae Competition held at Hattingh Way of life in Vosloorus.
The album additionally options some highly effective collaborations, one with Anthony B on ‘Rescue Me’ and one other with Lutan Fyah on ‘Champion in Motion’, retaining the roots and soundsystem message alive and robust.
On his YouTube channel Sinky Beatz wrote within the caption “I’ve been an enormous fan of Mr. Good for a few years, his works with Zion I kings have been extremely influential on me, and I at all times seen the I as an inspiration and a mannequin to be taught from. I’m fully humbled to be on this house proper now, creating new sounds with my heroes. The thought of getting my likkle grain of sand added to this highly effective tradition is sort of a dream made fact and a very humbling expertise. Give thanks for the chance and at all times reward to essentially the most excessive for all of the blessings we get repeatedly.”
