Jozia

South African singer/songwriter Jozia presents in an intimate acoustic set the songs from her first EP At Last which were recorded in Zurich.

The warm, multi-faceted voice of the 22-year-old music poet Jozia from Johannesburg alone is impressive. Her greatest asset, however, is her songwriting: she blithely mixes genres such as folk, soul, pop and indie rock and creates something very unique. The lyrics revolve around the big themes of life: love and alienation, marriage and cows, puberty and identity, marijuana and democracy, music and mother-daughter relationships. Even if we don't understand the words - Jozia sings in Sepedi, Zulu, Xsosa, Xevanda and English - the songs unfold with their intensity and emotionality a magic we can't escape.
