I’ve only discovered Mbulu tonight - blown away to put it mildly - my only regret is that so many years went by without knowing about her gorgeous music. Truly bliss, better late than never 🎶🎶🎶😌🎶🎶🎶

What's the name of the album ?

What a jam of a song, proudly african music. The current generation has a lot to learn from these icons. I also hear bra Hugh Masekela in the backing vocals, may his soul rest in peace.
