Netsayi - Monkeys Wedding

First Netsayi's voice hits you, then the personality, and they're both as unexpected and invigorating as each other. In an entertainment world that seems to demand excessive ego as a prerequisite, Netsayi makes a refreshing change.

This year sees the release of Monkeys' Wedding on September 21st 2009, Netsayi's eagerly anticipated follow up to her widely-praised 2006 debut, Chimurenga Soul. Described as an artist 'Brave enough to stand alone and be counted' [Observer Music Monthly] who delivered 'one of the finest debuts of 2006' [The Guardian], Netsayi's music is a subtly alluring blend of soul, jazz, folk and African influences. Drawing comparisons to a modern day Joan Armatrading and Nina Simone, Netsayi's rich cultural background has shaped her as an artist of great creative inquisitiveness.

Monkeys' Wedding was recorded at the celebrated RAK Studios in North London with ever in-demand producers Jonathan Quarmby and Kevin Bacon (Sugababes, Finley Quay, The Pretenders). It marks a distinct and appealing evolution of her style, successfully bringing together the full diversity of her musical influences and tapping her authentic experience of two very different cultures, in Zimbabwe and the West.
