  • Bongeziwe Mabandla's voice transports emotions like few others can: his recent album, "iiMini", is a story of love and loss. And even if you don't understand his home language isiXhosa, you get a profound sense of the joys and heartbreak that love brings to him - more than that, he invites you to feel these emotions with him. His South African folk sound is the perfect example of what the LibraryJams aim for: to bring intimate, beautiful music performances right into your home!
    This marks the start of season two of our LibraryJams. Make sure you don't miss out on the following episodes by subscribing to our channel!

    I cannot believe how talented Bongeziwe is. Often times, some things are so good that time stands still when you see them, feel them, hear them. Bongeziwe performing is one of those moments. He is the moment. He is an experience! Wow!

      i cannot believe how blessed we are to be able to listen to his art and actually understand the language. I'm in awe of his writing skills they are just insane. You will feel literally every beat. the transitions between his songs?
      you'd swear you're going through this together

  • @skylerlouie

    I started to listen, then I started to look through eyes that weren't seeing, than I started to move - I felt something happening. First my feet, then my lower legs below the chair, then my fingers, hands, arms. My imagination started to flicker then fire. I was elsewhere for a brief moment and thought about Tim Ferriss's suggestion to read Brain Pickings along with Mr. Mabandla - Choose Joy. I was living a transformation and dreaming. Thomas Merton said that the surest way to all that we can be is to develop the willingness to surrender to the creartive power of love and grace in our hears. Wow, what a respite from a wonderful morning that should not even need it.

She is an amazing vlogger however 3 years ago she stopped uploading and I assume it had\has something to do with our break up. THANKS for this song mntwan' omgquba because bendiswele amazwi axela indlela endiziva ngayo ngoba abantu bacinga andikhathali kodwa bendiswele nje amazwi okucacisa. Ndiyabulela!

    In a recent interview (with Mnisi-we-Mvula😊) he says he is resilient. He is right, he has been around and is still here. He didnt just make Umlilo (the album) and disappeared! Still relevant, amazing, talented, unique with his haunting music! Bongiziwe's lyrics are so deep, could make u tear-up about life situations. Thank u talented being! thank u!😢
