This week’s Let’s Touch Base panel dives into the powerful intersection of film, TV and music. We’re joined by filmmaker Mbali Mashaba, executive producer and head writer Sihle Mthembu, music publisher Andile Magwaza, and legendary composer Mjakes Thebe to unpack what it really takes for artists to get their music synced.
