Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The title says it all: Urban Zulu. Busi Mhlongo is a Zulu from South Africa, a modern, proud, intelligent woman; an urban Zulu. Mixing traditional Maskanda music with South African jazz this is a stirring album whose songs tell of life in modern South Africa. They tell of the suffering, of the ironies, of the continuing struggles of the differing peoples of the country. The stories she tells are of black-on-black violence, of men disrespecting women, of children disrespecting parents, but this is not a depressing album. This is an album where the music jumps out at you and Mhlongo's multi-ranged voice gives even the saddest tale a hope and a pride that can only hearten. For her these tales are not for grief but to call for a new dawn. As she herself sings, "please love another, this land is ours, it belongs to all of us all". An inspiring album. --Phil Brett
