Thandi Ntuli - Blk Elijah & The Children of Meroë (2022) Hi Res

Exploring the fullness of who she is who we are in her personal and collaborative projects, Thandi Ntuli negotiates a wide palette of sound and genre. This approach is a proud embracing of having grown up with the family lore of a classical singer aunt, after whom she is named; an uncle (Selby Ntuli) who was a member of Afro-rock band Harari; and a grandfather (Levi Godlib Ntuli) who while living with his young family in 1940s Sophiatown, a cultural hub not unlike 1920s Harlem in New York fostered among his children a tradition of composing, playing and singing music together. This tradition still lives on.
