Sanbonani Franschhoek! We are excited to perform the first @mjffranschhoek today at 3pm 🕒 alongside @therealsalifkeita @thandiswamazwai @robertglasper @ezracollective @therealdjkenzhero and many more! “kwanTU is a beautiful listen, delicate and intricate and powerful. Deeper than that, though, the baton-passing that lends an extra sense of profundity – the passing forward and survival of tradition heard in real time.” @thequietus #kwantu @madalakunene_47 @sibusilexaba @makhenegontse @fakazithewitness @daniel.stompieselibe @iamsiwas @akumagency @mushroomhour
