Joe Nina

Joe Nina, The album “Egogogweni (ola)” offers different blends of music – township groove, hip hop, fusion and reggae. “Egogogweni” is township settlements.

Another track “But Not Our Soul” is a jazz fusion track performed by Joe Nina and Fana Zulu, a renowned bass player. “Asseblief” is a vibey and energetic fun track sung in township slang.

Back in ’88 – at age 14 – Joe Nina talked a reluctant father into letting him take a stab at music. What followed next would become a unique musical trajectory spanning more than 20 years of South African music history.

Joe Nina’s been around for a while – a long while. Back in ’88 – only aged 14 – he talked his reluctant father (the old man had his sights on a doctor) into letting him take a stab at a music career and, well, we all know what happened next. It’s been more than 20 years and Joe’s still going strong.

His latest album Joe says he’s finally free – “Unchained” from the constraints of sound. Yes, a cursory glance thrown at his rap-sheet will tell you that the “finally” is a misnomer, but still, Joe aims to remind you that this is how he approaches his music: unreserved and liberal, playing producer, composer, vocalist and songwriter as he seamlessly flows between adult contemporary, afro-pop, gospel, kwaito, and deep house.
