Four Spirits Cheap

Following on the acclaimed ‘Where is Home’ and ‘Hymns of Bantu’, two genre-defying albums, ‘Four Spirits’ is also drawn from Abel’s South African roots and seeks to create a communal experience with the audience through cello concerto, percussion, singing & improvisation. His first solo cello concerto and, formally speaking, a concerto cast in four movements – each movement takes an essential aspect of township life: ancestors, children, faith and community. Selaocoe positions himself as chief storyteller, combining cello improvising with lyrics in the Southern Sotho and Zulu languages.
