  • Selema episode intro to it

    Just finishing the convo with the man, the myth Selema Mabena Masekela . Wow! Very fluid, in the depth of the tranches type with a solid memory train voyage. Perfect tone and rhythm to be enjoyed late night or during a full woodshop building solo work day. The guest is the star of the show, yet the train ride is well stirred in the engine is perfectly fueled with all this action sport stoke all along the journey. Sit back, kick it with a cold one or a morning brew, story telling core!!!
