The independent, South African record label Mushroom Hour Half Hour present Open Letter To Adoniah, a moving album by talented guitarist and songwriter Sibusile Xaba, who improvises the musical legacy of KwaZulu-Natal into an exciting, genre-less future. A lynchpin in South Africa's new generation of jazz musicians, KwaZulu-Natal born guitarist and vocalist Sibusile Xaba has all the makings of an acoustic guitar master. With a vocal style that is part dreamscaping and part ancestral invocation, Xaba divines as opposed to plainly singing. Combined with a guitar style that is rooted in expressive picking, Xaba's music shatters the confines of genre, taking only the fundamentals from mentors such as Madala Kunene and Dr. Philip Tabane and imbuing these with a mythology and improvisational intensity all of his own. Open Letter to Adoniah is an album reverent of life and it's connectedness to a higher source. The music emanates from dreams revealed to guitarist Sibusile Xaba over consecutive days. With percussionists Thabang Tabane and Moahanganai Magagula, the trio coalesces both geographic and spiritual influences, hinting at Maskandi (a music style dominant in Xaba's native KwaZulu-Natal) and the improvisational culture of South Africa's jazz avant-garde. Collectively, the musicians remold these influences, situating them within rhythms that span the continent. Thabang Tabane's influence over the project gives it a spiritual sensibility allusive to Malombo which his father Dr. Philip Tabane originated in the late 1960s. Mushroom Hour Half Hour is a Johannesburg based, independent record label and a mobile recording studio that unearths and records unique music from the African continent. Xaba's debut project is Mushroom Hour's first international release. Produced by Thabang Tabane. Double CD version includes the album Unlearning as disc one.

I love these pillows
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
These are so comfy. I love them. They have made my life so much better.
I have really bad insomnia. I was also getting neck pains from my old pillows.
These are just the best for sitting up and sleeping. I can not tell you how much these changed my life.
They are worth a shot if you are looking for something.
10 out of 10.

Pillows not exactly down..
Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I just got the pillows the tag say 80% polyester and 20% inner filling and 70% down and 20 % feather + ? Outer filling.. which is not what is advertised in the title. However AI indicated most pillows are constructed with two layers because of it is all dow it will be flat ... anyway the pillows will be tested after tomorrow as they recommend to leave it for one day before using it..

Great for side sleepers
It always seems hard to find the perfect pillow when you’re a side-sleeper. This one is great. It comes compressed so you will want to allow some time for it to fully fluff back up. The cover is soft and smooth. I love that it isn’t overstuffed. It provides gentle support and a lot of comfort. I was worried it may be too warm since it is polyester, but it is very breathable and I have not had any issues with feeling overly warm on it. It fits a standard size pillow case. It’s not overly stuffed like some other pillows I’ve tried that were specifically for side-sleepers. I think this world be a great pillow for any sleeping position, really. I wasn’t expecting to love a pillow this affordable, but it gets the job done and I get a good night of sleep. I’ll be purchasing some more for our guest room.

Incredibly Comfortable and Supportive — My New Favorite Pillow！
I wasn’t expecting to love this pillow as much as I do, but the DIORIS large sleeping pillow really exceeded my expectations. From the first night, I noticed a difference in the way my neck and shoulders felt in the morning—less tension, better alignment, and overall more restful sleep.
The fill is just the right balance between plush and supportive. It doesn’t flatten out during the night, which is a problem I’ve had with other pillows, especially those that come overstuffed or too soft. This one holds its shape well but still has that cozy, cloud-like feel when you lay your head on it.
I’m a side and back sleeper, and this pillow works beautifully in both positions. It’s also large enough that I don’t feel like I’m falling off it during the night, but not so big that it takes over the whole bed.
One suggestion: if you’re picky about loft, you might want to give it a gentle fluff or adjust the fill before your first night. But honestly, I didn’t need to do much—it was pretty much perfect out of the bag.
Highly recommended if you're looking for a high-quality, comfortable, and generously sized pillow that supports a great night’s sleep!

Hotel like pillow
These pillows were a pleasant surprise. I bought the set for our guest room but ended up keeping them for our own bed after trying them out. They feel incredibly soft yet still provide enough support to keep my neck from feeling stiff in the morning. I sleep on my side and back, and these work great for both positions. My spouse, who usually runs hot at night, said they stayed cool and breathable.
The material feels high quality, and I love that they’re machine washable without losing their shape. They fluffed right back up after drying. If you're looking for that plush hotel-pillow feel with everyday practicality, this set really delivers.
