More Details

Summary:

Legendary singer-songwriter Jonathan Butler traveled back to his home country of South Africa to craft his most exciting and deeply personal album to date. It is a reintroduction of Butler's life story, going back 60 years to his upbringing in apartheid-era Capetown, which shaped his world view, prompted years of advocacy, and instilled the ideology of 'Oneness' (Ubuntu).
