In Episode #33 of Mmino Wa Sione Podcast, we have round table discussion with Dixx and Moruti Makaringe. We embark on a comprehensive exploration of the music industry, tackling topics ranging from handling criticism and personalizing feedback to reviewing artists from Pretoria Park and debating the merits of instrumental versus acappella performances. We question the industry's readiness for innovation and spotlight emerging talents pushing boundaries. Discussions also encompass the impact of changing producers, evaluating artist introductions, and reflecting on past projects like the Dikakapa Project. We examine trends such as the decline of male choirs, the value of miming at shows, and ethical considerations in supporting artists. Furthermore, we review Dixx's upcoming show, spotlight Leswika La Motheo, celebrate female artists, and share insights on delivering constructive criticism. Join us for a deep dive into the dynamics of creativity, criticism, and collaboration in the ever-evolving music landscape.
