Product Details

Mahlasela emerged from Mamelodi township during the apartheid era, using song as both witness and resistance, and that spirit of music as a moral force has never left his work. On *Guiding Star*, he brings that same humanity to bear, his voice remaining one of the most distinctive and emotionally direct instruments in African popular music.

One of the hardest things to learn as a musician is when to not only recognize inspiration, but when to trust and follow it. Over a musically and socially consequential career, South African singer-songwriter and poet-activist Vusi Mahlasela has successfully followed his muse. That trust in his gift is at the root of his latest album, Guiding Star.
