Slow Life presents Nibs van der Spuy in Muizenberg

Nibs van der Spuy is returning to the Cape, after a successful Spring tour in Italy. This will be the second leg of his, 'Natalia' national tour and his first solo release in 5 years. 'Natalia' was recorded by world reknowned producer, Mark Tucker (Portishead/PJ Harvey), bringing together strong themes and images of Kwazulu and introducing new and exciting soundscapes to the music. He played at Rolling Wood early in 2016 with Amber Rubarth to rapturous applause. The roof lifted I tell you. Anyway since I first saw him in Grahamstown many years ago I have been biased. He is a genius of melody and song.
