MUSICIAN Thandiswa Mazwai gave everyone the surprise of their lives earlier last month when out of the blue she announced the release of her third studio album called Lebede.

​A TRIBUTE TO HER MOTHER 

The muso had taken a break for seven years before announcing the pleasant surprise and fans were excited about the news.

“Making this album was a sonic delight and I feel blessed to have been able to sing some of these songs and pay tribute to some of the most rebellious and monumental musicians of my time,” she says in a statement about her new album.

Lebede, a jazz tribute album named after her mother who passed away when she was just 16 years old, has a lot of songs that were sung during the struggle for freedom in South Africa.
