Bio / Background

Kumalo's roots are in a musical family of Soweto, and he was destined to be a musician long before Paul Simon's expedition to South Africa. But it was Simon's Graceland album that gave the world at large a chance to hear his remarkable fretless bass guitar work in a series of sessions that guaranteed him a shot of his own.
After Graceland brought him to New York, Kumalo became one of the more in-demand session players for the growing number of American artists looking for an "African" sound. San Bonan is his first solo endeavor, and he wisely has tried to create a genuinely original sound for himself, one that fuses his South African roots with pan-African rhythms, R&B licks, Caribbean melodies, and jazz grooves. He has assembled a formidable band for these sessions.
