Sibu Manzini - Kea Leboha Feat. Zola Marcelle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGZ8J4GR3yQ
Eswatini producer Sibu Manzini just released an EP, which is titled Grace after his mother.
Here with Zimbabwean British vocalist Zola Marcelle.
Entanglements in Johannesburg went very well, many great artists, welcoming people and nice atmosphere.
I'm really happy to have performed there and met a lot of musicians I didn't know before as well as old friends.
I found some time to make a few video interviews and will make some more in Cape Town again where I will play next weekend and in Johannesburg later.
