CD, 'Vhumela' (Dec 2013)
'Vhumela' is a Xitswa word meaning 'Accept it!' or even - with a little attitude - 'Get used to it!'. The word refers here to the call for acceptance of gender equality in a rapidly changing Africa.
The album includes the track 'Malungelo' in a collaborative interpretation by Mingas and Hugh Masekela.
CD available in Maputo shops.   Download at   CDBaby       iTunes       Amazon.com
