ABOUT

"Gabi Motuba’s new Sabbath: powerful sounds of liberation!"

"It’s a powerful work of sonic theology, expounded through music. "

"The Sabbath began as a suite of short, quartet-plus-voice compositions that toured to Cape Town in 2019 and gained some radio exposure. In 2022 the first, five-movement Sabbath album appeared. With this new release, the ensemble has grown. Strings are still at its core: Zos Ntuli and Chevonne Plaatjies on violins; Themba Mashobane on cello and Thembinkosi Mavimbela on contrebass. They’re joined by guitarist Reza Khota, trumpeter Robin Fassie, percussionist Thabang Tabane and drummer Tumi Mogorosi."

About Gabi Motuba (Award winning Singer/Composer):

"Motuba is a formally-trained singer, but increasingly across her albums she’s been moving towards a gorgeously seamless vocal texture where the mellifluous idioms of “classical” singing can transition easily into the shouts of church worship, the swing of jazz and the dissonances of avant-garde improv. All represent a human voice with something important to say; they don’t need to pull in different directions." - Review by Gwen Ansell
