MOTEL11 x SPOEK MATHAMBO’S NOMBOLO ONE !!

Posted On By Caballo


Let’s open the blank book and write the first chapter with our beloved South African rapper, producer and visionary, Spoek Mathambo and his Nombolo One covers project.
With Nombolo One, Spoek pays tribute to the great musical tradition of his country, and covers well known South African classics from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s. He brings it as a debut outing for his production crew Nombolo One (which includes Spoek himself, Theo ‘Mthezo’ Tuge, Ayanda ‘Ayobah’ Sithole). All the songs on this album are covers and contain absolutely no samples. Everything was played with love and reverence in a special Nombolo One style.
