When I was writing I Am Water, I realised that some emotions could not be contained by words alone. The poems carried rhythm, memory, and echoes that needed to be heard as much as read. That is how Bohlale ba Tau, the soundtrack to my memoir, came into being.
This album is not separate from the book — it is its companion. Each track flows from the same themes of survival, grief, motherhood, and belonging. The music carries the heartbeat of the poems, allowing you to experience the story in another dimension.
For me, I Am Water is not just a book to be read. It is a journey to be inhabited — through words, through sound, through memory. Bohlale ba Tau is the soundscape of that journey, and I invite you to listen as you read, to let the music deepen the testimony of healing in progress.
