Vusi Mahlasela

I'm just testing to see if anyone still checks the blog and to share the music of a great South African folk guitarist: Vusi Mahlasela. Mahlasela is a talented artist that has emerged with both strong political views and a a strong voice.
Mahlasela reached the US through the 2005 South African film Tsotsi. In 1991, Mahlasela recorded his debut album, When You Come Back, which launched his career as a South African icon.
