2011 on tour with his new album SAY AFRICA
Vusi Mahlasela, is simply known as 'The Voice' in his home-country, South Africa, celebrated for his distinct, powerful voice and his poetic, optimistic lyrics. His songs of hope connect Apartheid-scarred South Africa with its promise for a better future. Raised in the Mamelodi Township, where he still resides, Vusi became a singer-songwriter and poet-activist at an early age teaching himself how to play guitar and later joining the Congress of South African Writers. After his popular debut on BMG Africa, When You Come Back, Vusi was asked to perform at Mandela's inauguration in 1994.
Over a musically and socially consequential career, South African singer-songwriter and poet-activist Vusi Mahlasela has successfully followed his muse and continued to give back to his country. As he puts it, he knows that 'musicians have to be like watchdogs, just by seeing and speaking out, directly to the youth as well, because we need some kind of Cultural Revolution to remove ignorance."
On January 18, 2011. Vusi Mahlasela new album, SAY AFRICA produced by Taj Mahal will be realeased. SAY AFRICA captures Vusi's hope for the future of Africa: 'Let all those who share in Mandela's greatest wish—to one day see an Africa that is at peace with herself—.'
