about
Introducing 'Soulé,' the first single from the highly anticipated upcoming album 'A place between us.' by Okvsho. Emerging from a jam session gathering the blossoming young jazz scene of Capetown during Okvsho’s South Africa Tour, the composition invites listeners to surrender to its evolving cadence, meandering through a tapestry of groovy percussions, silky chord progressions and a symphony of delicate guitar licks and grounding string arrangements.
“As we couldn’t take our band to South Africa and Eswatini, we found different musicians for every gig we played through Instagram and with the help of the people we met during our journey. We played different versions of Soulé at every gig, but only after our last show in Cape Town, we knew where this song was going. Back in Zurich we started to record with some of our long-time collaborators and friends and Soulé emerged, a beautiful collaboration between Cape Town and Zurich.”
“At the start of the song you can hear the legendary saxophonist Mthunzi Mvubu asking “in riddim?” after we asked him to use the saxophone as a percussion instrument during a recording session in Johannesburg.”

Great album! A crossover jazz-r'nb-african trip from continent to continent. London does it again. Nyubian Twist with more jazz overtones. John Woodward
