Siyabonga “Slikour” Metane says, “I just want to say condolences to Costa’s family and to all the Titchgang. In politics they used to talk about the rainbow nation and Costa represented that. He literally immersed himself in the culture. And really took it to the next level in a way we have not seen before. His work ethic was unmatched, no one worked like Costa.”Meanwhile, Danish musician, DJ Kolsch, has described the South African music culture as absolutely fascinating.
“SA in general is quite fantastic because you have a lot of music culture. There are some particular sounds and vibes that really work and catch on. It is quite different from the rest of the world. I love that sort of new energy. I am crazy about amapiano stuff, I think it is amazing. It is so different from what happens in Europe. I am deeply fascinated by it.”
Australian musician, Timmy Trumpet, has praised South Africa for its diverse cultures and languages. Trumpet was among the headlining performers at the Ultra Music Festival in Johannesburg at the weekend. He adds, “I love SA. This is my first visit here and it is an incredible culture with beautiful people and everyone that I have met so far. I have been learning a lot about the culture, the languages, and so many languages. I played this one song, Sister Bethina, and the place went nuts. The other one was Phata Phata. It says a lot about the beauty and heart and soul of SA. So far, you have already exceeded all of my expectations.
