Tim Ferguson - When the Jackal Marries the Wolf’s Wife (3rd Draft)
I was kindly asked to submit a track for an upcoming compilation, the theme of which revolves around one’s subjective definition of nature. The title of this track derives from my thoughts about a monkey’s wedding - typically known as sunshower in many parts of the world. It turns out that this is a common South African English saying, loaned directly from the Zulu phrase: umshado wezinkawu. I had a hunch that not many people would understand what a monkey’s wedding was. So I did a spot of research and discovered a plethora of different animals getting married in the rain all over the world! Could be fuel for some similarly themed tracks in the future… The title I settled on is an English translation of the Afrikaans version: jakkalstrou
