Shimza teams up with Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist Elderbrook
Shimza, one of South Africa;s brightest teams up with Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist Elderbrook to encapsulate the sound of the summer with their new single “Places.” Shimza stands at the forefront of a musical revolution as the pioneer of Afro Tech, a genre that is not just a sound, but a bridge connecting the soulful rhythms of native African communities with the sophisticated beats of Europe’s established electronic music scene.
“‘Places’ is the last song on my album Another Touch and brings the story to a close,” shares Elderbrook. “The album follows a character through troubled times, recovery and eventually coming home. ‘Places’ is about that homecoming. About family, belonging and restoration.” The message is carried by a soulful rhythm created by both artists and the harmonious voice of Elderbrook.
