Netsayi - Monkeys Wedding

"Musically," she muses out loud, "on the last album I was trying to explore the relationship between traditional music from Zimbabwe and, I suppose, folk. Then I ended up on a mad journey where I hooked up with all these jazz musicians, so the album ended up really jazzy."

Netsayi can write songs with melodies and lyrical plots that draw people towards them in a way that even she's not quite ready to admit.

Netsayi's upbringing gives her a simultaneously authentic window into two very different cultures, and the inspiration provided by both has the same effect on her audience. Ultimately, though, her songs are about something that's fundamentally the same on any continent: the human condition.

This is certainly true of the infectious single 'Punch Drunk.' "This friend of mine was in a massive dilemma, his relationship was falling apart," says Netsayi.
