Xhanti will share never heard before renditions on uHadi and the tracks from the sensational debut album Umthombo. 

Nokwali’s music speaks to the many injustices that are a continuous experience for the majority of Africans across the world, it offers collective self reflection, as a way to reconnect with culture and identity, as a step towards universal harmony. The messages within his music are Pan Africanism, identity, culture and that unity is the key for liberation, to unify within and with universal existence.
