Artistic Director of JOMBA!, Lliane Loots says, \u201cGuy\u2019s music is what makes me wake up in the morning \u2013 it feels like that deep inner yearning we all have to just sit with beauty. Since this is what dance is for me, I can think of no better collaboration!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track \u201cKya Baat\u201d being used by JOMBA! was originally written for a small&nbsp;ensemble in the form of acoustic guitar, sitar and table. &nbsp;Guy says, \u201cit is a deceptively simple modal tune, the piece moves through a variety of time signatures and was largely inspired by works of Robbie Basho and Ravi Shankar&#8217;s orchestral work. Think Led Zeppelin meets Lord of the Rings&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The JOMBA! intro has been exquisitely edited by Wesley Maherry and features a small taster of dance companies presenting work at JOMBA! \u2013 it is a cacophony of sound and dance that will leave you breathless for more! Another reason to tune into JOMBA! on opening night: Tuesday 24 August at 7pm SAST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Official 23rd Jomba!
