I would very much like to thank the incredible individuals who collaborated on this piece. I'm very proud to have made this with my peers, in this time. We love our sounds. We love this country.

"This is raw, primal, base, complex...It encapsulates everything about this country. Kopfokmazurka is a love story. It is a love story about South Africa. It is a love story to South Africa. It is a love story from South Africa." ~Nthati Moshesh, Award-winning South African Actress.
