Description

Blue Note, 2024

South African pianist, composer, philosopher, and healer Nduduzo Makhathini travels beyond any existing notion of music-making to offer his most profound vision of creative mysticism yet with uNomkhubulwane, his stunning eleventh studio album which is his third to be released on Blue Note Records following 2020s Modes of Communication: Letters From The Underworlds and 2022s In The Spirit Of Ntu. The transcendent three-movement suitewhich pays homage to the Zulu Goddess uNomkhubulwane and explores Africas tragic history of oppressionfeatures Makhathinis trio with bassist Zwelakhe-Duma Bell le Pere on bass and drummer Francisco Mela. The music is both an offering and an invitation to humanity to cultivate ways of being that strive for freedom and balance.
