about

Spoek Mathambo is a South African artist, musician, songwriter & filmmaker. With three critically acclaimed solo albums under his belt, not to mention his collaborative projects Fantasma and Batuk, and a documentary on SA electronic music (Future Sound of Mzansi), Spoek Mathambo is a prolific creative, a true music activist, showcasing and stretching the limits of electronic music and hip hop.

On his new album Tales From A Lost City, producer and rapper Spoek Mathambo revisits his first love, Hip-Hop, with a project steeped in rich storytelling, razor sharp social commentary and an endless reserve of gymnastic flows. The concept album drives a cross section through South Africa 2020, to give a view of a highly complex and volatile society struggling to come to grips with its post Apartheid “rainbow nation” dream/nightmare. Spoek Mathambo takes Hip-Hop, the great crucible of culture, and creates a colorful ride through a diverse set of soundscapes, each emboldening Mathambo’s no-holds-bar approach to songwriting.

The eclectic self produced album features guest appearances from scratch DJ Raiko and collaborations with Batuk, Spizzy, Mark Mushiva, Vuyo and Daev Martian.
