Listen to our music!

New Release: Double Take

Soul-sisters Abigail Kubeka, Dolly Rathebe and Sharon Katz grew up in South Africa under the old apartheid regime and had to hide from the police to perform their music.  

Double Take shows how powerful voices can never be silenced. These songs go far beyond questioning the stories we're told to believe; they make you want to dance, laugh, cry, shout and hug somebody.
