    Siyanda is a Grahamstown-based kaito artist. Writing his own music and lyrics, Siyanda draws on the hardships of poverty for his ideas.

    This song tells the tale of Siyanda's quest to have his song recorded. It reflects his long struggle for recognition in an environment not really able to nurture young local musicians.

    Local artists complain of an industry where resources and market opportunities are concentrated in SA's large cities.

    The video shows his trek through Grahamstown's diverse communities in search of a recording studio willing to help him.

     

     

    The song remains a symbol of hope in the face of adversity, in that ultimately, the song and video have now been recorded.
