It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Vusi Mahlasela

Here's someone really stunning: Vusi Mahlasela. Heard him in a solo/acoustic guitar setting and with an electro-acoustic pickup Afrofolk band. An amazing voice, and an even more astounding as a complete musician using that god's gift of his. Rarely do I get shivers running down my spine these days, but he sure did it. I don't know his recordings, but my South African friends tell he's a bit into this schmaltzy fusion stuff these days, so research will probably pay dividens.

That's if you are looking for the real thing. He is. And his lyrics bear reading, a rarity in the world of pop. What a charismatic stage presence, too. Yeah, the guy rocks.

I rarely recommend male singers this side of Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, so take it as you wish.
