This week on TBKS Podcast, we get into uMgaranto II, the latest collaboration between K.Keed and Orish. Three years after the first uMgaranto, the duo return with a more cinematic and intentional project rooted in isiXhosa storytelling, kasi life, friendship and the everyday details of growing up in South Africa. From childhood memories and township humour to sharp lyricism and a distinctly local sense of nostalgia, uMgaranto II feels like a love letter to the world that shaped them.
We unpack the album, the chemistry between K.Keed and Orish, and what happens when you let your culture, language and lived experiences take centre stage.
