Foster Manganyi - Ndzi Teke Riendzo
Review by Nathan Zimmerman
Foster Manganyi's album Ndzi Teke Riendzo is a beautiful and soulful tribute to the traditional Tsonga music of South Africa. The album features Manganyi's powerful voice and his mastery of the guitar, as well as a range of other traditional instruments such as the mbira and the marimba.
The songs on the album are deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of the Tsonga people, with lyrics that speak of love, loss, and the joys and struggles of everyday life. Manganyi's music is both uplifting and contemplative, and his rich, warm voice is a joy to listen to.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Tiyiselani Vana Va Ndoda", a lively and upbeat song that celebrates the role of fathers in the community. Another highlight is "Khauleza", a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Manganyi's guitar skills and his ability to convey deep emotion through his music.

Notes
Sublimely convulsive Shangaan electro-gospel by a pastor from Giyani, Limpopo, recorded in 2008, brimming with aching, plaintive, mournful spirituality. However fractured, multi-faceted and fresh the music comes across — that signature whistle and sampled marimba, a little wonky high-life, rough, skittering drum patterns, no bass — the surging vocal lines and harmonies are unmistakably rooted in traditional South African music.About Foster Manganyi
