As One
Mpho Ludidi
A blend of Afro-Soul and pop that reminds of the simplicity and seriousness of Tracy Chapman’s early music. The recording of, As One, was an urgent response to the ignorance and violence in South Africa in 2019. With a sincere voice, Mpho Ludidi sings to inspire a new atmosphere of love and forgiveness.
And David asked the Lord, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. 1 Samuel 30:8
It is time to recover, time to believe again.
Izibongo (Praises) is a single delivered in the Afro-Jazz style.

Sijabulile is a collection of heartfelt thoughts from Mpho Ludidi's childhood and hometown, Matatiele, South Africa, where he grew up with his grandfather, Captain Ludidi. This is where Mpho first experienced a simple life observed in the people of the land who grew their crops and had livestock for their living.
Mpho wrote the song, Sijabulile, while living in Pretoria, now known as Tshwane, South Africa, yet while writing, he had the sense of being on a hill in Matatiele on a bright sunny day.
The song, Ithemba was nominated for the 16th Independent Music Awards 2018 in New York. Ithemba means hope and comes from one of the many South African languages, isiZulu.
