Earlier this year, devotee Texito Langa released his latest musical offering, a single titled “Oh Afrika!” that is a poignant call for collective spiritual awakening and intentional unity to overcome the many struggles that plague the continent. This musical endeavor not only reflects Texito’s personal journey but also carries profound significance for the broader International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) community on the mother continent.
Texito’s journey in the realm of Krishna-conscious music is a testament to the transformative power of devotion and creativity. Born in Mozambique, Texito found himself drawn to the profound spiritual teachings of Krishna Consciousness. His musical prowess, coupled with a deep-seated spirituality, led him on a unique path, where devotion and artistic expression became inseparable.
In an interview with ISKCON News, Texito shared insights into his recent travels and collaboration with Gaura Vani and the Prema Collective, highlighting the dual purpose of their work—rehearsing new songs for live performances and recording for future albums. The fusion of devotional messages within the vibrant soundscape of electronic music, showcased at The Bright Side Music Festival – 2023 in El Paso, Texas, marked a groundbreaking moment. Texito emphasized the impact of introducing spiritual components in a festival primarily dedicated to secular electronic music, providing festival-goers with a distinctive and uplifting experience.
Texito’s collaborative efforts extend beyond music; they are a conscious outreach strategy. He and his collaborators aim to create a team that participates in festivals worldwide, engaging with diverse audiences. This effort aligns with the vision of spreading Krishna consciousness beyond traditional boundaries, reaching those who might not encounter these spiritual messages otherwise.
