Get ready for a powerful dose of healing and musical mastery! Legendary South African artist Thandiswa Mazwai is about to bless us with a brand new single and a highly anticipated album. Mark your calendars because “Kulungile,” featuring the incredible Nduduzo Makhathini, is set to drop on April 12th across all streaming platforms.
But that’s not all! To further prime our musical palates, Thandiswa recently unleashed her stunning Tiny Desk Concert. This electrifying performance has already garnered rave reviews, solidifying her status as one of the most captivating live acts of 2024.
“Kulungile” isn’t just a song, it’s a journey of healing. As Thandiswa explains, the title references the Ghanaian Twi word “Sankofa,” which translates to “go back and fetch what’s been left behind.” This powerful concept forms the core of the upcoming album, a deep exploration of self-discovery, ancestral connection, and the process of mending past wounds.
Speaking on the single, Thandiswa shared, “Sankofa… is about acknowledging & healing my childhood traumas.” “Kulungile” promises to be an emotional and evocative track, a testament to Thandiswa’s artistry and her willingness to confront vulnerability.
The wait for “Sankofa,” the full album, won’t be long! This masterpiece is scheduled for release in May 2024. And to celebrate in style, Thandiswa will be gracing the stage at Carnival City, Johannesburg on May 11th. Don’t miss this chance to witness Thandiswa’s magic live as she unveils her groundbreaking new work!
This April, let “Kulungile” wash over you and prepare for the sonic journey that “Sankofa” promises to be. Thandiswa Mazwai is back, and she’s here to heal, inspire, and ignite our souls with the power of music.
