Abel Selaocoe – ›Spirit of Ntu‹
Heavily influenced by the people of Bantu cultures, Abel explores the wonderful influences of South African music, wagogo music of Tanzania and Khoi San nomadic people. Falling into improvisation thread together with his original music. A combination of the Bantu people bring the Spirit of Ntu.
In many Bantu cultures, ›Ntu‹ is a profound spiritual and philosophical concept that represents the essence of being, life force, and the interconnectedness of all existence. It’s a central idea in Bantu ontology — the understanding of being and existence.
