Tumi and the Volume
Tumi Molekane is a spitkicker, trailblazing lyricist and one of South Africa’s up and coming wordsmiths. His work is autobiographical and as a MC, has done an array of work for the South African Music scene. He has shared the stage with a variety of Local talents such a Yesterday’s Pupil and Haezer as well as international names including Saul William and Sarah Jones.
“The Tao of Tumi”, a showcase developed around 2001 was the beginning of Tumi’s pioneering approach to making music. “The Volume”, became a creative joint venture between Tumi, Tiago, Paulo Dave and Kyla. Along with Paulo and Tiago, the “dubrockjazzhiphop electricfunk”, sound of the group 340ml was created with Tumi as the lead vocalist.
The collective result is a sound that lingers over lines of new-school hip-hop, beat poetry and funked-up jazz, which is sure to set a new standard to be followed in national line-ups.
Definitely one of the freshest and most versatile sounds and musicians out there. Here’s a taste:
Prepared to be absolutely mind blown
and here’s something a bit..different..but AWESOME! DJ Fresh has taking a liking to this on the Fresh Drive, and quite frankly, I can understand why!
And lastly..my favourite! Shout out to Peach Van Pletzen from Yesterdays Pupil, great collab!
