Cellist, singer, and composer Abel Selaocoe joins with the legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma and a musical ensemble in his original arrangement of the South African hymn "Ibuyile iAfrica", meaning "Africa is back" in the language of isiZulu. Discover this and more on Abel's debut album: [ Ссылка ]
"I came up with this wonderful arrangement as an ode to one of South Africa’s legends, Desmond Tutu. He and other icons like Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela fought for our freedom, and I stand on their shoulders. When I go to Europe, when I perform anywhere in the world, it’s because of their efforts that I’m allowed these experiences. I’m also really honoured to have had one of my role models, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, play on this song. Speaking of identity, he’s someone who has paved the way for more cellists to seek out their own identities, find their voices and have a reason to touch and to reflect the society around us." – Abel Selaocoe
