The Kingdom of Eswatini is currently going through a cultural renaissance and Sizo Hlophe of Antidote Music is one of the players within this shifting landscape.
Soul artist Velemseni's music reflects Eswatini culture and aesthetics. "The Kingdom of Eswatini is a magical and mysterious place, and my music aims to interpret and document that mystique, drawing from genres like Swazi gospel, soul, African soul, cinematic and traditional music," says the artist.
