Immersed in the communal, ceremonial and healing qualities of music, this record is the next epoch from the South Africa-based multidisciplinary artist and follows his acclaimed solo eponymous debut. Recorded live with an ensemble of thirteen musicians, On the Romance of Being consists of eight movements that sonically sprawl across post-gospel, spiritual jazz, black classical and the ancient music of the Nguni and Ndau peoples and elicits a sincere conversation between the erotic and spiritual.
