Sibusile Xaba - Sibongile (livesession @Le Guess Who? 2018)

Sibusile Xaba performs his own song Sibongile: Tribute to the Mother, from his 2017 album Open Letter To Adonia.
South-Africa’s Sibusile Xaba creates a wonderful blend of African folk, flamenco and jazz. Supported by expressive fingerpicking and hushed jazz chords, Xaba sings in Zulu with full commitment: mimicking his twangy acoustic guitar tone, laughing, declaiming and weeping over the tracks.

I saw Sibusile at the Mullum Music Festival in Australia. I have never seen anyone more taken over by music and the act of singing. Everything about that event was a gift to the audience. A gift of pure transmission. It was a performance without ego. It was pure. Thank you.
