Legendary singer-songwriter Jonathan Butler traveled back to his home country of South Africa to craft his most exciting and deeply personal album to date. Featuring producer/bassist Marcus Miller, Ubuntu is a reintroduction of Butler’s life story, going back 60 years to his upbringing in apartheid-era Capetown, which shaped his world view, prompted years of advocacy and instilled the ideology of ‘Oneness’ (Ubuntu). Featuring special guests Keb’ Mo’ and Stevie Wonder, the new album serves both as a rebirth of musical creativity and reconciliation with systemically biased history to forge a brighter future.
“I am, because you are.”
Ubuntu is the universal Bantu philosophy adopted by South Africa as a guiding principle after the abolition of apartheid.
Ubuntu encompasses the interdependence of humans on one another and the acknowledgment of one’s responsibility to their fellow humans and the world around them.
