We compile and release music to share the soundtrack to our thoughts and to our romantic and vibrant dance through the great journey of life. For most, music is what takes them closest to a universal consciousness of love, light and compassion. For some, it is music that takes them beyond music itself to reside in that space of love, light and compassion where the soul is manifested. For many, music is the communion with the ancestors and the voice of guidance from the dead. To see the world through music is to see the eternity of Love. To compile and release music (as much as to record) is an acknowledgement of this. A composer of music is somebody who can represent emotion through music. To be a composer is closer to divinity then industry. To put it mildly, there is responsibility to the sharing of love through music. It is our time to open the doors to the hearts of a collective soul. I compile for us to realise our dream, a dream so eloquently expressed by those who know to be who they are in reflection of what they WE are. The afribeat compilation of South African Jazz 2000 is not for gain, it is for promotion :

"To live is to lear. Let us stand before and not after. For if we stand together the seed of life will never die."	"As if with a bolt of lightning, oh how the music had suddenly arrived as if we had acended into the great library of heaven."

The year 2000 was somehow our version of the swinging twenties, or the golden fifties. It was a very colourful time. : "From the racy and vibrant frenzy of Johannesburg's urban buzz, to the diversity of the port inspired Cape Town: and the rural communities of the Eastern Coast, tere is African Jazz. From the eclectic diversity of culture, colour and romance along the West Coast, inner city blues and suburban bliss to the make shift shacks of the townships and the spiritual beauty of the North, South African music is heard, loved and played. In a land of vast differencesand partiality, disturbances and change, music is the great leveller: It weaves a magical thread across memories and inequities, through stories and emotions, to create a powerful and unique expression."
