Roots Grown Deep is an Amer-Afrikan musical, poetic and cultural movement seeking the most resonant harmonies of human Diaspora, expressing a unique musical fusion of New Orleans jazz, southern African indigenous rhythm and dance, Jamaican reggae and Appalachia folk. The outcome is a passionate soul's outcry of multiple languages, trances, and instrumental concepts, guided by a poetic message of conscious spiritual ascension.
Roots Grown Deep’s 2016 double album entitled Grow Within And You Shall Not Go Without, connects the landscapes of three rivers: the Limpopo of Southern Africa, the Colorado of the Grand Canyon, and the Bluefields of Jamaica. Grow Within features the musical voices of more than twenty South African and American artists, including Msaki, Nono Nkoane, Naftali, Nkoto Malebye and Stompie Selibe.
For their 2017 KZN and Lesotho tour, Roots Grown Deep will perform as a quartet featuring Newcastle and Durban native Ntando Mbatha on bass, Sepedi and isiZulu praise poet Dennias Mashegwane, and percussionist Lantern Maleka. Both albums of the Grow Within musical novel will be available for sale at the concerts (R200 and R100 respectively).
