Mtali Shaka Banda Oneness Project is a boundary-pushing performer whose music defies easy genre labeling. Blending jazz with funk, soul, folk, R&B, hip hop, and African influences, this project crafts a banded, genre-defying sound that resonates with listeners who crave something fresh and thoughtful. A self-driven artistic vision, Mtali Shaka Banda released The Oneness Project: Rites of Passage in 2017, a 12-track collection that includes I Don't Wanna Leave, Blessings, Umodzi, Open Your Heart, This, Too, Shall Pass, and more. Fans can explore the album on Apple Music and Bandcamp, with a growing presence across streaming and social platforms.
