Brownswood Recordings are excited to present this short documentary inspired by the critically acclaimed ‘Indaba Is’ compilation released in January 2021. Produced and directed by accomplished filmmaker Tseliso Monaheng.
‘Indaba Is’ captures a living culture of making music, one in which bands exist to birth musical concepts as opposed to being static monoliths. Recorded close to Johannesburg over 5 days in the summer of 2020. ‘Indaba Is’ resuscitates a collective of South African black bands from a COVID-19-induced standstill; with newly composed improvised music & Jazz created by the country’s blooming new school jazz scene. Produced and managed by accomplished Creative Directors, award-winning pianist Thandi Ntuli and ‘The Brother Moves On’ bandleader Siyabonga Mthembu. – Words by Kwanele Sosibo 2020.
