My First Love

Sweet sweet delight
Sweet sweet delight

You were my
You are my
Will always be
My first love

You were my

My first love

Sleep well my love
Sleep well my heart

You were my
You are my
Will always be
My first love

My First Love (First Take - not bad!)

Hello My Lovely Rainbow Child
Ive been waiting long to see you
The time we spent apart was bleak
And I was hoping we could speak

The wind may blow and shake the tree within its bark
I hope you know I'll always keep you in my heart

Thabang Tabane's long awaited debut album is now available. You can buy the full digital album and order the vinyl or cd using the "Buy" Link above .....

Son of the late, legendary Dr Philip Nchipi Tabane and heir to the malombo sound that he originated and pioneered in the early 1960s, Thabang has been touring the world, playing with his father’s band and other South African luminaries since he was 8 years old. 

Emerging into his own with his debut solo album, Matjale, this energetic percussionist carves a driving, joyous and worldly version of the malombo genre that takes in his continental travels. The album brims with ambition and an appetite for life. Employing brisk tempos, nimble basslines and intersecting polyrhythms, Thabang crafts songs cognisant of the hardships of life, but chooses to deliver them with an irrepressible optimism. 

Expanding the parameters of what is essentially an artform patented by his father, Thabang and his cohorts seem unburdened by pedigree, infusing the sound with a modern sensibility. His reverence for the vibrational resonance and drive of the bass guitar, not to mention his explosive bursts of hand drumming, gives the album an undeniable, cathartic exuberance. 

The album dropped digitally and on CD on the 14 September 2018, with the vinyl coming out on 26 October 2018.
