Morning praises. Cosmic Light by @thandi_ntuli

My goats came together to make something truly incredible. This is Xandibona Wena by @thandiswamazwai featuring @thandi_ntuli from the 2024 album Sankofa.

There’s a beautiful line in this song: “Intliziyo ayiphakelwa”, which speaks to the idea that the heart cannot be told whom to love. The song captures the feeling of being around someone who brings you joy, where the heart and spirit are in agreement.

The album’s title ‘Sankofa’ comes from a Ghanaian Twi word meaning to go back and fetch what has been left behind. Thandiswa built the album around archival recordings of Xhosa music she accessed through the International Library of African Music at Rhodes University, bringing those recordings into dialogue with jazz and West African music. The album was recorded across Johannesburg, Dakar and New York, the album connects musical memory and ancestral knowledge with the present.

Thandiswa’s voice and Thandi Ntuli’s piano are a combination I hope we get to hear on more projects!

We’re almost halfway through Jazzober! 🧑🏾‍🍳🎷

We’ve made it to the part where I gloat about my GOAT @thandi_ntuli This is New Way by Thandi Ntuli, from her 2018 album Exiled.

The song is about pain, healing and the need to be given space to work through what you’ve experienced, rather than being told to move on. Thandi has spoken about writing it as a song with a message and using her voice to draw out the emotions behind it.

Healing takes time.

Thandi’s catalogue moves through jazz, electronic music and spoken word, often blurring the lines between them. What I admire most about her artistry is how grounded, present and honest her arrangements always are.

19 more days of Jazzober to go! 🧑🏾‍🍳🎷

A multi-award winning pianist, singer-songwriter, composer and arranger. Thandi Ntuli has carved out a remarkable place in the global jazz community, becoming one of the leading voices of modern South African jazz.
