New Queer Music: Nakhane, Armand Joubert & Makhosi Lwazi
mambaonline.comNakhane (Pic: Alex de Mora), Armand Joubert and Makhosi Lwazi have released a new batch of proudly queer music. Nakhane – Tell Me Your Politik (feat.
Moonchild Sanelly & Nile Rodgers) Nakhane is back with a new single titled Tell Me Your Politik. It not only features the UK-based South African singer-songwriter, but also a brilliant rap by fellow queer music groundbreaker Moonchild Sanelly.
And let’s not forget American music legend Nile Rodgers on guitar. “Kiss me if you want to, touch me if you want to, I wouldn’t say no, but first, you’ve got to tell me about your politik,” Nakhane sings to an aggressive thumping beat.
The track is their unambiguous statement that if you want to be their lover, you’d better be on the same ideological page. “I wanted it to sound like a pack of wolves barking, saying ‘unless you get your politics right I’m not gonna fuck you’,” they say about the song.
