"Exploring the fullness of who she is – who we are – in her personal and collaborative projects, Thandi Ntuli negotiates a wide palette of sound and genre. This approach is a proud embracing of having grown up with the family lore of a classical singer aunt, after whom she is named; an uncle (Selby Ntuli) who was a member of Afro-rock band Harari; and a grandfather (Levi Godlib Ntuli) who
– while living with his young family in 1940s Sophiatown, a cultural hub not unlike 1920s Harlem in New York – fostered among his children a tradition of composing, playing and singing music together."
Ntuli brings an intimate performance on piano, vocals and synth, to mark the release of her new collaborative album, Rainbow Revisited.
The album, released under Chicago based record label, International Anthem, in collaboration with LA-based producer and percussionist Carlos Niño, was released on November 17, 2023, and is available on LP, CD and digitally.
In 2019 Ntuli traveled to Los Angeles for the first time to perform at The Ford Theatre at a show presented by The Nonsemble. There, she met Niño in person for the first time during preparations for that performance, and he invited her to do a session with him and engineer Andy Kravitz at Studio 4 West.
In this iteration of Rainbow Revisited, she features composer, producer and friend, as well as a long-time collaborator, Shane Cooper on the bass and effects.
