“Heritage for me is weighted in the past,” soul singer-songwriter and Mi Casa member J’Something tells Apple Music. “It’s a culmination of stories, thoughts, beliefs and characteristics that are then passed down to us. Thereafter comes the important part: How do we as individuals relate to our heritage, study it and break it apart so that we can then create our own stories, thoughts, beliefs and characteristics for us to pass down? This is why music plays such a pivotal role in shaping culture.” To celebrate South Africa’s heritage, J’Something shares a collection of tracks from some of his favourite South African creatives, including Mars Baby, Dr Duda, Rowlene, Nasty C, Sjava, Marcus Harvey, Ziyon, Hugh Masekela and more.
