Bongeziwe Mabandla, who has been described as a “modern miracle” by Radio France Internationale (RFI) and who was recently profiled in prestigious UK music magazine, Songlines. Over the past eight years, this Joburg-based artist has steadily built his career and with a recent string of performances across Europe and Africa he has expanded his global audience, affirming his place as the ‘enigmatic spirit of African Soul’. Bongeziwe will be joining us to celebrate the upcoming release of his brand new album - first heard on The World Show titled ‘Iimini,’ the album was heralded last year with two singles “Zange” and “Jikeleza” and is due for release through London-based Platoon label on 28 March 2020.
