Winston Mankunku Ngozi – Yakhal' Inkomo

Translating to the cry of the bull before slaughter, Yakhal' Inkomo is one of the most revered statements in South African jazz history. Mankunku's towering tenor saxophone leads an intimate quartet featuring Lionel Pillay on piano, Agrippa Magwaza on bass, and Early Mabuza on drums. The four musicians operate with intense psychic unity, channelling Coltrane-esque modal fervour through an unmistakable, poignant Cape township sensibility.
