"South Africa's international star"

South Africa's Vusi Mahlasela, an accomplished guitarist, percussionist, composer, arranger, bandleader and performer, bridges generations at home and abroad. His sound is a hybrid of folk, world music, blues and soul--and it's a deep, joyous sound that connects South Africa's apartheid-scarred past with its promise for a better future. Over the years of spreading his message, Mahlasela has remained true to his roots. He performed at Nelson Mandela's inauguration in 1994, and he proudly promotes Mandela's message at all of his performances. Having released a string of albums in South Africa, he came to the world's attention with the 2003 debut of the documentary film "Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony." Says Dave Matthews: “Vusi has a sort of profound beauty about him. He has a light on . . . and that's something he would share with Bob Marley, Neil Young, Marvin Gaye or Miles Davis.”
