A Tribute to Mothers and African Roots
‘The Next Recipe’ is inspired by the unwavering love and dedication of mothers across the globe, celebrating their role in nurturing and shaping future generations. "It’s our way of appreciating the mothers who raised us and gave us a chance to become the men we are today," says Shef.
The album also draws influence from the band’s international tour in India in 2020, where they connected with new fans and built a following across Asia. Alongside this international experience, the project reflects the challenges of making it out of the township of Orange Farm and the importance of staying rooted in African culture.
