Izinyembezi - the newly released single by Zeph Nzama - is starting to make
waves in local music circles, ahead of the planned release in February 2018 of
the popular Durban showbiz personality’s first album.
With its mix of Afro-Beat, Jazz and
traditional Mbaqanga genres, the single’s strong appeal to a wide range of
enthusiasts is easily explained, especially as it also embraces the exciting
international imprint of a distinctive Congolese sound.
Nzama said that in putting together his
forthcoming album, he has given his music an upbeat message, while he has also
sought to express his confusion and sadness over the widespread spirit of
suffering that prevails among Africa’s people. Through his music - as through
his widely admired stage shows (Talking Spirits, Long Journey The Musical,
Happiness Through The Mist, Women in Singing, Man and The Earth, Phathizwe, and Why), Nzama asks: What has happened to our spirit of Ubuntu?
Alongside Nzama, Izinyembezi (meaning ‘Tears’) also features the voice of Sheila da
Blue (Sheila Mkhize) on backing vocals, with musos Patrick Kapenga, Gauthier,
Hubert Mutumwema (producer) and Bambala Merika.
Nzama’s Izinyembezi
single will be available on ITUNES. For more information, call 072 537 5430, or
