The Okmalumkoolkat - All Black, Black Kat music video is a
rerendering of South African cultural realities through the music of Smiso
Zwane and visual direction of Chris Saunders. We enter a night ritual scene at
an indoor swimming pool, the ritual based loosely on a Zulu cleansing ceremony,
which is performed before a funeral to a male member of the family (A situation
Smiso experienced as a child). We juxtapose this situation with the inclusion
of South African modern sub-cultural influences experienced by the artist;
these influences have manifested his modern sound and dance.
