In The Wake

by Kujenga

supported by

Nqobani T This album is what happens when you combine passion, talent, hard work and knowledge! This is not just a contender for jazz album of the year, it’s a contender for album of the year, period! And to think they’re still such a young collective, a lot more is yet to come… and I’ll be there following every step, just as every jazz enthusiast should. Favorite track: Lesedi.

about

In The Wake is focused on answering this question; what has it meant to live through the devastations of a pandemic along with the disasters that preceded it and the doom that has followed it? The album is centered on personal and social experiences, examining the ways in which the endless list of unfolding crises impact our capacity to think, act, dream and love.
