Sankofa invites us to go back and fetch what has been lost so that we can return whole. Recorded in Johannesburg\, Dakar\, and New York\, Sankofa combines archival Xhosa music\, jazz and west African music. Largely developed with co-composer Tendai Shoko\, it includes tracks produced by Meshell Ndegeocello and Nduduzo Makhatini. \nThe Sankofa Live show will present this music alongside Thandiswa’s old classics. Her first solo album\, Zabalaza\, celebrates 20 years in 2024
