Malombo

Malombo has been played on NTS in shows including The Do!! You!!! Breakfast Show w/ Charlie Bones, featured first on 22 November 2014. Songs played include Shebokeshana, Maskanta and Mashaba.

Initially operating as The Malombo Jazzmen with multi-instrumentalist Philip Tabane, Abe Cindi (flute) and Julian Bahula (percussion) in the 1960's, the group evolved to Malombo, with Tabane enlisting (and training) a succession of musicians, including Mabe Thobejane, and more recently, Raymond Motau and Oupa Monareng. The instrumentation is unconventional - African drums and hand percussion, interplaying with Tabane’s unique guitar, vocal, and flute sounds.
