ZININZI
(featuring The Soil)
From Johannesburg to New York, Rio de Janeiro to Tokyo, fascinating cities have drawn so many of us into life-changing affairs of the heart. Yet as this propulsive track makes clear, great things can blossom just as fruitfully outside the concrete jungle as within. Kellerman composed this ode to the countryside with multi-platinum-selling South African acapella singing group The Soil. Here, he revisits the song’s rollicking hills and rolling meadows with tight vocal harmonies and drivingly percussive grooves.
