"An Awesome Sound" - EARTH WIND & FIRE -
"Some very dignified music...Miles would have played the heck out of ''Journey To Kush' - JOSEPH WOOTEN -
"He called it a journey to kush
THE DOORS OF NO RETURN
where spirit is alive and often hearts yearn
music a dialect unbroken skins an amber token of hues unspoken tone beating fiery sounds into beautifully burned song....
crafted muse you are
in the shape of a man
touching pass earth painted only by Gods gentle hands
vibrating my soul
reconnecting diasporas loosely stitched but left unsown" - NATIVE TONGUE -
"Free like a bird" - ROHAN 'RUGGU' MARLEY***************************
Expl: The proverb is based on Tonga legends that lone travelers have disappeared without any trace. It was common for Tonga people in the old days to travel to South Africa alone, and never to come back. It was thought that either wild beasts which were prevalent at the time or slave traders had captured them. The equivalent English proverb is: “Two is company, one is none.”
Meaning: There is danger in traveling alone. We need to have fellowship with other people.
Occasion: The proverb is related to the theme of having fellowship with others. It is used when reminding travelers of the importance of company for purposes of security. It can also be used particularly to warn urban dwellers who like to walk at night for beer parties or for other purposes. Young people should choose good company in which they can share good moral habits. ..
