Tokoloshe (2010)

Back in June we invited South African raverap crew Die Antwoord to play their first show in New York City They are one of our favorite bands and their performance that day was one of the most hectic intense and amazing shows we had seen in a long time While we were hanging out with them here Ninja and YoLandi kept talking about a little monster called Tokoloshe the most feared of all African demons Ninja told us about how when he was growing up his nanny would use a stack of bricks to raise her bed up just to keep the Tokoloshe away at night It turns out this is a fairly common practice among women in South Africa since this hairy potbellied dwarf unlike your typical Western boogiemonsters is believed to have a penis the size of a horses and a penchant for sneaking into peoples bedrooms and raping them
