Says Mashile: “ started sharing her experiments online during the pandemic, and when I first heard what she and Ewout were doing in their home studio, it felt like multiple timelines were collapsing and converging at once. Across continents, in the isolation of lockdown, on social media, I felt intimately connected to Tutu’s imagination, and seen and affirmed in a way that no artist has ever made me feel before.

Puoane’s core quartet — Pierreux, Dré Pallemaerts on drums and bassist Clemens van der Feen — and guests Joris, pedal steel, guitar player Tim Finhoulst and organist Larry Goldings certainly provide the first and producer Larry Klein has shaped a recorded sound that is warmly intimate without being cloying. And then it’s down to Puoane.

“And another workshop with Dianne Reeves — who was, and still is, I guess, my biggest influence. She talked about how two different singers can sing the same word differently — a simple word like ‘begins’ ‘begiiiiiiiiiins’ or ‘beginnnnnns’. Puoane and Pierreux’s lyrical melody and the singer’s interpretation — every word sharply etched — brings into focus the work’s reflection on difference, origins and finding home. It’s profoundly prescient for our times when xenophobia is an easy, brutal tool for vote-catching.

People are generally poorer and buying fewer gig tickets, bookings are scarce and shows get cancelled at the last minute because of insufficient uptake.
