Vusi Mahlasela - Sing to the People (Celebrating 20 Years of When You Come Back) '2013

Tracks list

       In 1992, folksinger, guitarist, and activist Vusi Mahlasela, simply known
as "The Voice" in his native South Africa, released an album, When You Come
Back, that took him onto the international stage. To celebrate that 20-year
anniversary, Vusi assembled his fluid, jazzy band and threw a concert at the
Lyric Theatre in Johannesburg, performing several of his signature songs in
front of an enthusiastic and very involved audience, and the whole affair was
recorded and has now been released as an album. Well-tracked and full of Vusi's
trademark acoustic guitar and soothing, soaring voice, it makes a wonderful
introduction to this South African treasure. Among the many highlights are
Vusi's magnificent "Say Africa," a lovingly rendered "River Jordan" (which is
dedicated to his mother), and the lovely, sad, but still comforting
"Loneliness," although every song here has the grace, joy, and dedication that
are the cornerstones of Vusi's impressive career.
