"The first time it has been properly available in over forty years"

Matsuli’s new edition of Shihab’s stunning debut, produced with the blessing of the man himself, is the first time it has been properly available in over forty years, and the first time it has ever been available outside South Africa. Restored and presented with new liner notes by Valmont Layne, Spring can now be seen for what it is: a peerless masterwork of Cape Jazz, blessed by the presence of the great Mankunku, but truly animated by the subtle vision and original musical spirit of its creator, Ibrahim Khalil Shihab.
Pre-order today here:

All the best

5 track album

🚨So it’s out! 🚨
Here’s a snippet of my visual album “Another Perspective”

It’s NOT a live stream, it’s a visual album, it’s more a movie/documentary which features the band performing the music in studio.

The album won’t be available for a few months still, so go and check out this unique experience. It’s the first of it’s kind in SA 🇿🇦

From a BSc in Viticulture and Oenology at Stellenbosch University (SU) to sharing the stage with his heroes as a pianist. “I was not a very good student during my winemaking course and quickly realized that I will never be a winemaker or viticulturist. I remember feeling so far removed from my fellow students as they already exuded the love and passion for their future career as I am currently doing in my ventures as a musician,” he recalls. ~ Elbie Els
