Sibongile Mbambo

First there is the voice. Intense, enchanting and deeply South African. Sibongile Mbambo sings in Xhosa, her "native music". This language crackles like fire to the rhythm of the percussive tongue snaps. While her inspiration takes its source into the Xhosa traditions of the South African hills and plains, it is also immersed in the urban reality of African cities, made of confrontations and encounters. A celebration of the culture of interaction and exchanges was also nourished when Sibongile arrived in the cosmopolitan city port of Marseille. Both powerful and aerial, her music gives echo to her journey, a state of perpetual transition.
