Safro-Rock singer/songwriter, guitarist and producer Mthakathi, conjures up music that is undeniably and unflinchingly Rock, but bespeaks a more prismatic World sensibility. It is music that draws from a lifelong immersion in South African culture; music that reflects a keen absorption of eclectic world elements; music that explores expression beyond borders; and music that rocks. An innovative song-smith, compelling lyricist, arresting guitarist, magical live-looper and a spell-binding performer, Mthakathi - the "wizard," the "witch doctor" the "magic man," the "inyanga who mixes things that shouldn't be mixed"- is an artist of world citizenry, one who defies the confines of simple categorization and smudges the boundaries of culture, genre and time.
