“Ivovo” is the brand-new album of the Swiss band MATS-UP in which Matthias Spillmann and his fellow musicians explore the sounds of Africa together with the singer Mbuso Khoza.

Khoza is one of South Africa’s leading singers and an expert in the traditional music of his country. Mbusos remarkable voice fits in naturally with the music, the group has developed over many years of playing together.

“Ivovo” is a touching album featuring traditional Zulu songs as well as some original compositions by the band leader. You’ll hear melodic contemporary jazz, nurtured by an untamed fire and animated by an all-embracing african spirit.
