🔗 https://amf.didiermary.fr/vusi-mahlasela-norman-zulu-jive-connection/
A lost recording from the archives of producer Torsten Larsson with a 2002 collaboration between acclaimed South African folk singer Vusi Mahlasela, singer songwriter Norman Zulu and Swedish Jazz / Soul collective Jive Connection.
Faceless People
The links between South Africa and Sweden have long been strong with Sweden one of the most supportive European nations in the struggle against apartheid; the government helped to fund the ANC for decades and Mandela visited the country on one of his first European stops following his release from prison in 1990.
Sotho folk singer Vusi Mahlasela, dubbed ‘The Voice’ Of South Africa, performed at Mandela’s inauguration in 1994 and has enjoyed his own long relationship with Sweden, regularly embarking on cultural exchanges and forging a strong bond with the Jive Connection band, featuring guitarist / bassist Stefan Bergman and Little Dragon drummer Erik Bodin within its line-up.
