Welcome to the #SautiZAAfrika season, loading…
[CURRENT] We have the wonderful pleasure of recording Mabongi Thusi. Excellent music, beautiful music, archive making and a Black Studies Programme. Day 1/2
We’re incredibly proud of the upcoming body of work from #SautiZAAfrika. Music that draws from diverse African sound cultures, advancing togetherness through diversity and love through adversity.
The third offering from us with #Sauti will be a landmark to the scene, because groups in African traditions of music composition have demanded that we shift from individuality to collective thinking, imagination, and collaboration

“Let’s lean into it” | After two suspended recording sessions with a 4 piece band, we made a decision to strip back the sound, and record Yully’ EP: TO YOU. TO LIFE. TO ME. the traditional way. The same way it would’ve been done in 60s Brazil.
