Zulu Mkhathini is a creative polymath who really has done it all and makes anyone feel like they could do more with their lives and their time, to be honest.    With a striking latest album – that took four years to complete and was then subjected to a bit of a rocky release because of Covid-19 – he navigated an unorthodox release campaign like a pro and continues to reinforce the project by telling a very personal story.   From disappointing loved ones and then making good with an ethic that screams “do better”, Zulu is walking the road that few even know how to find, let alone wear it thin.  Outro Song: Asambe  - Apple Music   Set List:   Uniform feat.
