Deep Dive into "Wayfarers' Hymns" by Zakes Mda | Book Launch & Author Talk

"The music was born in the drinking dens of migrant mineworkers... a heartbeat of drums and the moan of the accordion." In this video, we go behind the scenes of the book launch and author talk for Wayfarers' Hymns by the legendary Zakes Mda. This novel is a vibrant, rhythmic journey into the world of famo music, wandering poet (likheleke), and the violent gang wars of Lesotho and Johannesburg. Set against the backdrop of illegal gold mining (zama-zamas) and the "Mountain Kingdom," Mda explains how this story "assailed" him, forcing him out of a planned retirement to write one more masterpiece. We also see the return of Toloki, the professional mourner from Ways of Dying, bridging the gap in this iconic trilogy. 📖 Get your copy of Wayfarers' Hymns here: [ https://bridgebooks.co.za/products/97... 🔗 Connect with us: Instagram:   / bridgebooks   Tiktok:  / bridgebooks   Website: https://bridgebooks.co.za/ #ZakesMda #WayfarersHymns #SouthAfricanLiterature #FamoMusic #BookTalk #Lesotho #NewBooks #Toloki #AfricanAuthors #BookLaunch
