#08: Langa Mavuso - Urban Soul Singer from South Africa

I first noticed Langa on Instagram singing Sunday Blues on UCT
Live room  and fell instantly in love with his voice.Langa
Mavuso's music is influenced by the sounds of Frank Ocean, Kwabs,
Solange, Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye but also
the sounds of his home South Africa.


Born and raised in Johannesburg, he was surrounded by music from
an early age and he knew very early on that singing was what he
was going to do in this life. I spoke with him about his
upbringing, about the music scene in South Africa and his vision
of providing musical education and workshops for all children in
South Africa.


I asked Langa if I can share some of his songs with you, so
today's epsiode is full of beautiful soul music!

Also I want to give a shoutout to my friend Melly who did today's
intro! She's also a fan of Langa's, so she was the perfect fit.
Say hi to her on Instagram.  Thank you Melly!
