"The best thing to happen to Afro-soul music since Miriam Makeba ? A talent to rival Lauryn Hill, India Arie, Erykah Badu ? Without a doubt. Get used to this name – Simphiwe Dana has a voice that pulls you up short.
Her sound is big and proudly South African, with a chest-swelling polyphony and a capella passages in rhythmic, clicking Xhosa.
Simphiwe Dana will tour in Europe with her new band. Discover Simphwe Dana on a more acoustic side and get in touch with us to get more information abut this exciting project.
