Prepare yourselves for the new exciting classy African jazz outfit performing at Montecasino.
Produced and composed by the talented Wandile Moya, Afrotraction is the epitome of African soul and jazz and features the legendary McCoy Mrubata on saxophone and the beautiful Siyavuya Makuzeni on additional vocals.
Known as Wandile to his friends and family, Moya made the journey to Johannesburg after receiving a call from Ghelakis. Stunned, and thinking that this talent was too good to be true; Ghelakis needed validation that this young man was in fact the talent on the demo. After a brief showcasing at CSR Studios, Ghelakis, blown away to say the least, not only offered Wandile a recording contract, but also a job working as a producer in his studios.
Despite Wandile's gospel background, this album is loungy music that exudes style and exhibits chilled moods and classy cool. Influences from South America and French speaking Africa are evident in this ethnic musical fusion. |
