Vusi Mahlasela

A warm and compelling singer-songwriter of the sort that occasionally drop like pearls from South Africa's apartheid heritage, Mahlasela is a favorite of both Nadine Gordimer, who gave him a guitar, and Dave Matthews, who gave him a record deal. He sings about loss and hope in a cool, clear voice that swoops up and down the octaves.
