This Sunday on The World Show, we'll be joined by Yonela Mnana, a renowned South African pianist, composer, and vocalist with one of the most expressive voices in contemporary African jazz.
His music is deeply spiritual and richly textured, with influences from jazz, African choral traditions, gospel, and indigenous musical memory.
We'll look at his remarkable musical journey, collaborations, and approach to improvisation, as well as his most recent collaborative album, Echoes of Marabi, which he created with Swiss saxophonist Benedikt Reising and the Soultee Sisters.
