We’re so excited! One of our fave SA artists, Thandiswa Mazwai is releasing her highly anticipated album Belede this month. The Ingoma singer will drop her first studio album in seven years on the 25th of November.
Belede is a jazz tribute album named after Thandiswa’s late mother and is her third album.
“Making this album was a sonic delight and I feel blessed to have been able to sing some of these songs and pay tribute to some of the most rebellious and monumental musicians of my time.”
Thandiswa says she’s reimagined historic SA songs for the album to address our current political climate.
“I’ve reimagined these songs for a new space and time, and what’s interesting is that even though a lot of these songs were written as rebel music against Apartheid, they still make sense in South Africa now. They still have the same impact, ask the same questions and evoke the same actions.”
The album will be available for Pre-Order on iTunes this Friday with her first single ‘Jikijela’ available as an instant download on iTunes and Apple Music.
The public is invited to celebrate with the legendary singer when she launches Belede on Thursday 24th of November at The Soweto Theatre. Tickets are available from R200 and up at www.webtickets.co.za, www.sowetotheatre.com and 0861 670 670.
We can’t wait to check it out!
