You'll remember that I was somewhat taken a-back by the supercool Bradley Zero professing his love of Simon & Garfunkel recently? So it's perhaps even more surprising that the duo of Yoav & Jabulile Majola have captured the purity of Paul and Simon on their album, 'Unyazi'.
The introduction of Yoav and Jabulile Majola on the three track EP, 'Stranger','Nyoni Yami' and 'Running' (see review HERE) touched the folky-pop duo to world, especially on 'Nyoni Yami' that's sung in Zulu is particular is very touching. And on the album, this is not the only moment that reaches such heights, 'Egomania', 'ujobe' and the title tracks are all touching - the title track has that pop-choir boy touch at is such a joy at this time of year; a particularly alt.'Stay Another Day'? (Ed. that's the second time this week you've be linked with E17's great and good - also see HERE).
And then, what with 40 year 'Do They Know It's Xmas' anniversary release this week and the
Ed Sheeran debate, in the Paul Simon 'Diamonds' debate evelope, perhaps Yoav & Jabulile Majola is a musical legacy that we can all be proud of and embrace.
We are told, "Unyazi" serves as a testament to resilience, offering listeners a glimpse into the cathartic power of music to heal"; this is true on many of the tracks but especially 'Nomad' and 'Honest Face'.
The album, 'Unyazi' should have a worldwide audience and appeal - in fact, I'd go as so far as to say it deserves to be heard
