Legendary SA musician Thandiswa Mazwai releases new album
"I
am so excited to share this new music with my fans..." - Thandiswa Mazwai.
Thandiswa Mazwai released new music and launched her new album at Carnival City, Johannesburg on 11 May 2024. She also has a show at the Durban Playhouse on 31 May and the Artscape in Cape Town on 20 July 2024.
It's been a while since we have seen this powerhouse musician share her talent with the people, so these are definitely exciting times.
The tour will also include songs from 'Zabalaza', Thandiswa’s iconic debut solo album, which turned 20 this year. Durban and Cape Town tickets are available at Webtickets.
Her seminal album, 'Zabalaza', celebrates 20 years this year. Watch the video for 'Zabalaza' below, courtesy of YouTube:
Thandiswa says: "Sankofa in the Ghanian language Twi means to go back and fetch what’s been left behind - what is important, what honours you, and what needs healing. How apt that as I prepare to launch this new work, my seminal album Zabalaza, celebrates 20 years. For me, this is the year of Sankofa.”
Recorded in Johannesburg, Dakar, and New York, the album combines archival Xhosa music, jazz, and west African rhythms. It includes songs produced by Meshell Ndegeocello, Chris Bruce, Nduduzo Makhathini, Tendai Shoko, and Thandiswa herself.
I am so excited to share this new music with my fans. It is such a privilege to still be able to do what I love after 30 years in this industry. Ndibulela ngazozibini for all the love and support. We promise a show full of love and celebration.
