Fusing Afro-jazz and Afro-soul elements with traditional Xhosa rhythms, this enterprising young artist has crafted an irresistible medley of music and poetry steeped in the culture of her Eastern Cape upbringing.
IGoli is a live album comprising 11 tracks, most of which were composed by Mbangeni, with one track (UmaXhosa) penned by the late jazz great Victor Ntoni.
Mbangeni’s poetic lyrics speak of the contrast between rural simplicity and the urban rat race, rites of passage, traditional practices and the importance of upholding one’s culture.
