Simphiwe Dana: Amaqhawe

For Amaqhawe, our celebration of South Africa’s musical legends, activist and singer-songwriter Simphiwe Dana curates a sonic tour through the sounds she holds most dear, featuring music from Sankomota, Ami Faku, Lady Zamar, Zoë Modiga, Nakhane, Thee Legacy, King Monada and more. “These are a few songs that are my little corner of solace from South Africa,” Dana tells Apple Music. “A slice from a vast repertoire in my library that showcases the indomitable and diverse spirit of our musicality. A repository of our spiritual trajectory through time as can only be felt through music. The complexities of our emotionality is beautifully displayed here.”
