#MusicMonday - Release of Thabang Tabane's Nyanda Yeni
“Nyanda Yeni, the first single of Thabang Tabane’s debut album Matjale, finds Sibusile Xaba’s angular, tweaked guitar and Thabang’s percussive effervescence circling each other; miniature whirling dervishes. In an almost dizzying, looping game of never-ending hide-and-seek, the traditional plea for rain is silk-spun into malombo modernity with Dennis Moanganei Magagula on percussion and Thulani Ntuli on bass guitar.
The release of Thabang Tabane’s single, Nyanda Yeni, on the 29th of June 2018 acts as a precursor to the release of his debut solo album, Matjale, which drops on the 14th of September, 2018. To be released under independant Johannesburg-based record label, Mushroom Hour Half Hour, the song loops, inverts and subverts, cementing a new generation of Malombo.”
