Ernestine Deane’s multi-faceted artistic trajectory has seen her fronting the electro combo MoodPhase5, a group that propelled Cape Town sound into the “naughties” with the millennium masterpiece Steady On (2000). A softer solo release, Dub for Mama, appeared in 2007 and she has crafted moving, socio-historic performance pieces in recent years. Her current trio, Ernestine & The Vision, blends rhythm with soul and features percussionist Brian de Goede and Texito Langa on drums. Deeply inspired by Cape Town and its people, Ernestine appears in the music documentary Mama Goema (2011). Co-produced by Profoundly South African, the above video formed part of a value exchange with the filmmakers.
