(Guy
Buttery & Kanada Narahari)
Guy Buttery has released a brand new video
directed by his long-time friend Tyrone Bradley, starring the impressive
performance artist, Leilah Kirsten. Amidst these bizarre times of self-isolation,
the video for Sonokota (from my
recent album Nāḍī with Kanada
Narahari) offers up a cosmic study of the duality of self, powerfully realised
by what Buttery describes as "some of South Africa’s raddest creatives".
Commenting on the lockdown state of
affairs, Buttery says: “A bizarre and perplexing time to say the least. I found
myself entering creativity overload during this rather uncertain period. I've
been working on loads of new music as well as revisiting a ton of older video
and live recordings sitting in the archives which has been keeping me sane. So
far. A bunch of which I have been sharing on social media. Whatever it is
keeping the wheels turning, keep it up and know that this too shall pass.
“The dance of our various selves,
navigating our many facets in closer proximity than maybe ever before, seems
apt given the context of this global lock down,” Buttery adds.
The track also features some of South
Africa's finest musicians including Thandi Ntuli, Shane Cooper and Ronan
Skillen.
