Simphiwe Dana |

 In South Africa an incredible creative potential exists that ranks among the world's finest. One of that potential's most recent success stories bears the name Simphiwe Dana. This young vocalist with an earthy voice that gets under the skin is one of the absolute shooting stars on the South African music scene. Her debut album "Zandisile" has meanwhile gone platinum. When asked about direct influences, Simphiwe Dana names the jazz legends Lena Horne and Sarah Vaughan, South African veteran vocalists like Dorothy Masuka, but also lesser known from the realms of reggae, jive and traditional Xhosa music. She defines her own style as Modern African Soul. Her lyrics speak mainly of the significance of tradition, yet also of the struggle for self-confidence and freedom, especially freedom for women. A South African magazine wrote about her: "The best thing to happen to Afro-Soul music since Miriam Makeba."
