IN CONVERSATION WITH RUBYGOLD
--:--
RubyGold—a South African vocalist and performance artist whose music is all heart, heritage, and healing.
RubyGold recently released two emotionally charged singles, “Fee-lee-huh da Lolita” and “Burning Fire,” both rooted in deep personal storytelling and messages of strength, resilience, and transformation.
“Filha da Lolita,” which means “Lolita’s Child” in Portuguese, is a moving tribute to her late mother and grandmother. RubyGold lost her mother to domestic violence at just six years old, and this song is her way of reclaiming her roots, honouring her mother’s legacy, and standing in solidarity with survivors of gender-based violence.
Her second single, “Burning Fire,” brings a fiery, empowering energy—celebrating rebirth and the inner strength that rises from hardship, like a phoenix from the ashes.
Looking ahead to 2025, RubyGold is set to release a brand-new EP called Mix Masala—a sonic journey that blends her Griqua and Mozambican-Portuguese heritage with amapiano beats and global influences. It’s an exciting reflection of her identity as a proud South African woman of mixed heritage.
From earlier hits like “Teka Munike” and her soulful R&B project All I Want is You, RubyGold has made a name for herself as a fearless, genre-bending artist—unafraid to speak her truth through music.
Through her music, RubyGold invites us into her world—a story of love, legacy, and rising above the flames.
