Product Details
Vusi Mahlasela earned the nickname "The Voice" not just for his instrument, but for what he said with it, carrying the spirit of the anti-apartheid movement through song at a time when music was an act of resistance. This 2004 introduction to North American audiences brought his South African catalog to a new community of listeners already primed by the Graceland generation to hear the moral weight embedded in township folk and protest song.
The Voice ATO debut is a collection of his most celebrated recordings and popular songs from the five albums he released in South Africa.
