Two-time South African Music Award (SAMA) nominee Bongeziwe Mabandla made waves overseas in 2014 with his perfect blend of Urban-African Folk. With heartfelt lyrics that only a poet could write, Bongeziwe has taken to the stage in places like South Africa, Mozambique, Germany, France, Barcelona and now on Salt Spring. Influenced by artists like Tracy Chapman, Simphiwe Dana, and Oliver Mtukudzi, Bongeziwe’s sound has a rhythmically grass-roots vibe, while fusing elements of traditional Xhosa music, Mbaqanga, Soul, Hip-hop and Dub.
