A friend sent this to me the other day. It speaks to my soul and I’d like to know what the hell it is.

Jazz?

does it matter about the marketing? think genre is anti music/ art in general. just enjoy & stop trying to put art into a box, or it might stay there & you’ll have less :v: :sunglasses: :+1:

Hugh Masakela is typically African tinged jazz, but that track has a real blues feel to it, not really Jazz. I’d say African Blues.
