BHOLOJA, STEWART SUKUMA’S ‘MOTHER’ SET TO BE RELEASED

MBABANE - The collaboration song between Stewart Sukuma  and Bholoja called ‘Mother’ is  set to be released on July 26.

The song was given birth to by the CollaboNation concept, which is MTN Bushfire’s art development project supported by MTN Eswatini and produced by Bushfire records. CollaboNation is meant to connect and unite the continent through a series of unique music collaborations, supporting the weaving together of Africa’s rich and diverse musical genres and building linkages between cultural industries and network.

‘Mother’ is a song inspired by the crucial need to address one of the burning issues in society, such as gender-based violence (GBV). The artists performed this song during this year’s MTN Bushfire Festival, at the mainstage. In line with MTN Bushfire’s call to action that encourages the proactive contribution of the individual towards addressing pertinent social and environmental issues, the artists will be bringing light with the powerful message of their song, which reveals the usage of art as a powerful form of creative advocacy.

In a video shared by MTN Bushfire on their social media page, Stewart Sukuma shared how he feels about the collaboration and the release of the new track’. In meeting Bholoja, I was amazed by his simplicity and his honesty, so pure and so down to earth. The way man treat women in Mozambique is dubious and very violent. I think this song brings that subject just to remind people that our mothers and sisters are part of us and we are part of them.

Collaboration

We would not exist without them and I wish that the song reaches all the people who are suffering or the women who are suffering right now,” Sukuma said. Bholoja expressed how grateful he was for the opportunity to be in collaboration with Stewart and being able to come up with the song that is essential for the community, as it addresses the issue of violence. ”Unity is power, through the collaboration, they have made it possible and have found a simplest way of uniting African musicians to come together and speak one language. The song is important because it addresses challenges faced by women in the society,” Bholoja said.
