Soundz of the South is
organizing Rebel Sistah Cypha which
they host at Mofolo Live House in Harare Township, every first Saturday of the
month. The first Rebel Sistah Cypha
was on Saturday, the 1st of August 2015. Ngcwalisa was the host with
the soothing voice. Aesthetically, the cypha was filled with splendid talent,
from the likes of Matsidiso, Lara, Black Isis Tafari, Sistah Anela, Mic
Substance, Milliah and others (I forgot their names).
Mic Substance was very impressive with her
versatility. She moved from spoken word to singing – to rapping. What a
talented soul! I recall hearing her voice in some of the spaza tapes between
2008 and 2011 - when I used to listen to too much spaza raps; she used to bark
on the mic like a feminine puppy. But now, I envy her. I’m officially her fan.
Black Isis Tafari is an ancient. Sistah
Anela does not disappoint, vocally. Lara got too much anger in her poetry. She was swearing right through. I
had a little conversation with her, and I told her that the tone of her poetry
is filled anger; she told me that we are all angry with the system in varying
ways. I could not agree with her more. Millz is versatile too. All the
poetesses that hit the stage were very deep with a lot to say.
