VUSI MAHLASELA at World Cafe Live Philly-Upstairs – a Africa interest event taking place on 2017-02-21 20:00:00 in United States
VUSI MAHLASELA
Vusi grew up in the Mamelodi township, just outside of Pretoria, South Africa, where he still resides. Vusi built his first guitar from fishing line and a cooking oil can and taught himself how to play. In 1976, Vusi’s political education began as he witnessed the devastating massacre of more than 200 black South Africans in the Soweto Uprising. Vusi responded through his music, inspiring other musicians and listeners around him. Vusi began to write songs of justice, freedom, revolution, love, peace and life. At the fall of Apartheid, Vusi was signed to Shifty Records/BMG records and finally recorded his first album—a collection of songs he’d been writing his whole life.
