About
Featuring Mahlathini & The Mahotella Queens’ lush production style, <i>Paris - Soweto</i> shines with care and sophistication—yet its music is as urgent as ever. Simon "Mahlathini" Nkabinde's powerful voice rises to the top of the group's traditional <i>mbaqanga</i> vocal arrangements, as resonant strings intermingle with modern synthesizers and drum machines on tracks like the sprightly "Melodi Ya Lla" and sunny "Awuthule Kancane.” Throughout, the harmonies stretch out so beautifully that they almost trick the ear into hearing voices that aren't actually there.
