about

KWELA is the title track and lead single from Deane Ogden's forthcoming album of the same name.

Written around the world and recorded in the vibrant wondrous landscape between Johannesburg, Nairobi and Capetown, KWELA is a rapturous celebration of the colorful sounds and cultures of South Africa combined with Deane’s modern funk underpinnings and pop-oriented songwriting. Turning again to the mobile recording methods he employed for EASTERN CHRONICLE (2013), Ogden worked with numerous African and South African musicians on the album including the Nairobi Hand Drum Ensemble, Capetown’s Mack Chibesa, the Soweto Horns, Deryn Cullen, Temwani Kalenga, the Capetown Junior Chorale and Johannesburg vocalist Jordynn Towne.
