Mshini Wam

Part of a new breed of African artists, twenty-four year old Spoek Mathambo (Rapper/DJ/Graphic Designer/Illustrator) is hitting the world hard with his take on Afro-futurism. Spoek sees himself as a part of a new wave of energy in Africa, which is intent on nurturing a sense of progressiveness while maintaining a pride in culture. As front-man for electro-rap outfits Sweat-X and Playdoe, Spoek Mathambo has become a increasingly prominent figure in the international music scene over the last couple of years. Most recently, Spoek Mathambo has finished recording his solo album, Mshini Wam for BBE. The release of this project is particularly exciting as a sign to the world of what Africa has in store in terms of progressive electronic music.
