Udondolo » is the first album by Urban Village, the new indie voice of Soweto. With their feet in tradition and their heads in the future, the four musicians of the Urban Village group draw from the rich musical heritage of South African regions. They offer an unprecedented synthesis that blends Zulu guitars, maskandi, indie-folk, South African choirs, and jazz, all carried by a spirituality and wild energy. They share powerful folk and songs imbued with pan-African values and the famous "Ubuntu" (common humanity). It is a debut album, recorded at home with the energy of live performance and patiently polished in the studio by Frédéric Soulard (Maestro, Limousine, Jeanne Added...). A journey through all the colors of Soweto, a dormitory city designed to better monitor those sent there, which has become the laboratory of music where the hopes of an entire people still resonate today.
