Zola Marcelle - Home

Produced by Lewis Moody (Cherise, Secret Sundaze Ensemble, Nubiyan Twist), the album showcases Marcelle's ability to weave together the unique sonic landscape of contemporary jazz with soulful Afroism resulting in a rich tapestry of sounds and themes. 'Breathe'expresses gratitude to Zola Marcelle's parents, who made life-changing decisions to improve the future for their children with Marcelle's father taking an active role in the uprising against colonial powers in Zimbabwe. The song is a powerful tribute to the courage it takes to break generational cycles and create new paths with lyrics that deeply resonate:'Vandinamatira kuti ndiwane mufaro. Vandi komborera, Mme le ntate oa ka, there's power in your words, I know' (written in Shona - a Bantu language of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Translation: they prayed for me to find joy, they blessed me so that I can move the mountains [of life], - my mother and my father), produced by Marcelle and co-written with bassist Abel Addington.
