702’s Bongani Bingwa speaks with acclaimed musician Vuma Levin.

Listen below:

The multi-winning jazz musician is going on an album release tour with the group In Motion for their upcoming project, ‘Allegories’.

The album is a Swiss-South African storytelling collaboration set to be released on 11 July - the same day as the Johannesburg show at the Seabrooke Music Concert Hall at the Wits Theatre in Braamfontein. 

Fans got a first listen of what to expect with their single ‘Uvu’. 

“It’s about telling stories and alternative stories from the global south…”

– Vuma Levin, musician

“I think in general the type of folkloric stories that we have to tell are underrepresented globally, and so it is very important for me to bring that out into the world.” 

– Vuma Levin, musician

“[At the show] we really try and focus on the concept behind the music, and I really believe that adds to the experience of listening to the music.”

– Vuma Levin, musician
