If you were surprised by Bradley Zero's professed love of Simon & Garfunkel recently? Well as Peckham's finest celebrates '10 years of Rhythm Section International' as well as his kissa bar, Jumbi with Paul Camo being featured on Worldwide FM, perhaps they should give the pairing of Yoav & Jabulile Majola as a couple of diamonds from South Africa.
Why the surprise at Mr. Zero's love of Simon & Garfunkel? I don't think I've heard anything on the RSI label that is anything close to that style (check out the leftfield dance roots like Chaos In the CBD, FYI Chris, Al Dobson Jr., Heny Wu and many more) so you don't expect he'd be into poignant storytelling and soulful vocals which the pairing of Yoav and Jabulile Majola have excelled at here with the three tracks, 'Stranger','Nyoni Yami' and 'Running'.
The duo's voices at time match the folky-pop duo and the 'Nyoni Yami' track sung in Zulu is particular is very touching.
There's an album called 'Unyazi' that's had a limited home country release but these three tracks will be their introduction to a world audience.
Worldwide FM - Jumbi takeover with Paul Camo.
