Jabulile Majola & Yoav Release New Album “Unyazi”
Yoav and Jabulile Majola, two distinct voices in the music scene, release their deeply personal and transformative collaborative album, “Unyazi.” The album breaks conventional boundaries, blending Yoav’s ethereal acoustic style with Jabulile’s poignant storytelling and soulful vocals.
Yoav, renowned for his Indie Folk sound, brings his unique perspective, shaped by a rebellious rejection of his Classical music background to his own electronica-infused style. In contrast, Jabulile, was born into a challenging upbringing, raised in a Children’s Home in Greytown, KwaZulu Natal. The two find solace and expression through their compositions, sharing narratives rooted in personal and joined experiences.
