Abel Selaocoe – Qhawe/hero – Concertgebouw Sessions
Abel Selaocoe performs ‘Qhawe’, which means hero in Xhosa and Zulu. A song that is dedicated to the desert and the relief found in rain.
The inspiration for the music itself is threefold: a West African rhythm call called takanba, a dance performed by the Southern African Tswana people, and the church music heard in Selaocoe’s township.
