To share
Thaba was a musical act created by Gabriel Cyr and Khusi Seremane. For the release of the album we created two video clips, which became a tribute to Khusi, who passed away shortly before the release of the album.

"Thaba" is a collaboration between South African singer-songwriter Khusi Seremane and American producer and musician Gabriel Cyr. Tragically, in July 2020, while the two were working with Soundway to prepare their debut album, Seremane passed away after battling health issues for several years, just days after turning 41.
​
Thaba's sound reflects a sonic duality that references the dual pop heritage of Mbaqanga and Bubblegum artists such as The Soul Brothers, Paul Ndlovu and Pat Shange, as well as traces of Roxy Music, Grace Jones, Sade and Talk Talk. The result is a very modern production, electronic, deep layers, introspective and sometimes with jazz touches.
