    Library Jams Ep. 4: Bongeziwe Mabandla

    Bongeziwe Mabandla's voice transports emotions like few others can. Even if you don't understand his home language isiXhosa, you get a profound sense of the joys and heartbreak that love brings to him. His South African folk sound is the perfect example of what the LibraryJams aim for: to bring intimate, beautiful music performances right into your home!
