                                              The Heroes Offering

Born spontaneously on a trip from a camping weekend in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The camp was an Arts Across Borders initiative. A gathering of artists from various Southern African countries to share their art, network, ideas like how poets and writers can publish their works and how musicians can record and sell their music, etc. On their way back home, the three poets of Swaziland, Bongiwe Dlamini, Dzelisile Mdluli and Ngomane Nkahmbule, decided to record a poetry album called The Heroes Offering. The title was inspired from that weekend, themed the Heroes camp.

This album is a thanksgiving offering for that experience and seals a long time coming friendship with Mwana Bermudes, a Mozambican musician and sound engineer who has recorded and produced the album through his non-profit Kanimambo Nomad Multimedia studio. He has also added his instruments and sounds of Nature in some of the poems, as per request of the poets for an extra ambience background. Mwana is also the project coordinator of Plenty Canada in Africa, a Native American NGO which has kindly assisted with funding of The Heroes Offering cultural project in Swaziland.

We hope you All enjoy our poetry as much as we did while producing this CD. Shalom!
