Thina is the new album by Seba Kaapstad, a multi-national neo-soul quartet comprised of a South African, a Swazi and two German members – vocalist Ndumiso Manana and Zoe Modiga, and musicians Sebastian Schuster and Philip Scheibel. Their union represents a coming together of worlds and ideas and their music speaks in favor of multiculturalism as a major creative force. Indeed, the title of the album comes from the Swazi word for “us.” Seba Kaapstad, who are quickly becoming one of the hottest neo-soul groups, describe themselves as “conjuring beatific grooves that radiate with alluvial soul, celestial jazz, electronic experimentation and the polyrhythmic essence of Africa.” Thinamarks their debut release for Mello Music.
