Star pianist Nduduzo Makhathini returns to Moods after almost 3 years, with his tenth studio album In the Spirit of Ntu, released on Blue Note Records. Following turbulent times in South Africa, Makhathini notes, “It was, once more, a period of burning fires, riots and massacres. In this sense, the music that I have composed is not surrounding these fires as a backdrop or soundtrack—these sounds are part of the discourse. They project from the burning fires until the fires stop burning. What remains is what these sounds seek to restore. Ntu as a creative force that seeks to lead us to remember our essence.”
