Singing mostly in isiXhosa, South Africa’s Bongeziwe Mabandla creates music that is as hauntingly beautiful as it is deeply personal. Weaving a delicate tapestry of traditional Xhosa folk, modern indie, and atmospheric electronic textures, his voice is a soulful, soaring instrument. Mabandla’s live performance will command the festival stage with nothing but a guitar and a raw, crystalline vocal. Expect a set of “”modern-day folk”” that feels like a shared meditation.
