Thula Mama - Amaqawkeni [Made In Orlando EP - BMD RECORDS] ZAZ1S2100001

Amaqawkeni is a young acapella (clap and tap) trio from the City of Gold. The band members are Jimmy Mofokeng, Musa Tshabalala & Mahlomola Mofokeng. Their signature is the sultry sounds that echo the peak of a unique South African genre referred to as Marabie. This genre consists of a soft touch of Jazz, Blues, a bit of gospel and lyrics influenced by the social ills, common challenges and good times in the township. Since Africans were not allowed (by apartheid laws) to own much, they made it a point to compose, write, own and flaunt the most sophisticated music on this side of the globe.
Self Titled is an emotional three track EP that speaks directly to the soul. It begins on a sad note and gradually lifts our spirit up through melody. When asked what sound this is, their manager responded “think of a fusion of Manhattan Brothers, Barorisi Ba Morena and a touch of Ladysmith Black Mambazo but reduced to only trio…” The EP is available worldwide in all digital stores | streaming services. Enjoy
