Having released a long-delayed second album, cleaned up at the SAMAS (South African Music Awards) and made a storming UK debut at London's ICA, Simphiwe Dana seems invincible. With her strong penchant for jazz, a soulful, wavering voice and proud political stance, it's hardly surprising this elegant young singer and song writer is often compared to her compatriot Miriam Makeba. But she's biding her time on that score:<br><br> 'I feel it's really unfair on her, because she has achieved a lot. I just need more time to stretch my wings even more, and then maybe later in life, I might deserve that accolade. But so far I feel it's a bit premature' she told me in May, 2007.<br><br> Growing up in rural Transkei, Dana began singing ceremonial circumcision and wedding songs to herself during solitary walks to fetch water. She also soaked up influences from local artists such as Madosini and Amampondo, who she heard on the radio, and the gospel singing in her local Zion church. All of this and more can be heard on her two albums to date Zandisile (2004) and The One Love Movement On Bantu Biko Street (2007) although neither quite prepares you for the peerless poise and charisma and the raw power of her voice onstage. It makes sense, then, that the live arena is where she first made her mark; after studying IT and graphic design in Port Elizabeth, she moved to Johannesburg, where her appearances at open-mike sessions started her on the path that eventually led to her first recordings. She credits her mother who sang to heal the pain of life under apartheid as her biggest inspiration, so a little explanation of her Xhosa lyrics is in order:<br><br> 'I sing about finding yourself, accepting yourself so you can change yourself for the better, loving yourself. I sing this especially to the African, to the young one, because we can only start there in our quest to save this beautiful continent.'<br><br> Jon Lusk<br><br><a href="http://www.myspace.com/simphiwedanaofficial">www.myspace.com/simphiwedanaofficial</a><br><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/3w4h/">CD Review on BBC Music</a><br><br></font></div></div></div><div class="hdots-1-rm"><img src="/staticarchive/5ea3e7590d674d9be4582cc6f6c8e86070157686.gif" width="410" height="1" alt="" border="0"></div><div class="content-pad-rm"><div class="content-rm"><font size="2"><strong>Read other people's comments then </strong><a href="#comment" class="icon-rm"><img src="/staticarchive/d0df434487610074e057d4062aa657d03d433a46.gif" alt="" width="30" height="18" border="0" hspace="1" vspace="0" align="absmiddle">Tell us what you think:</a><br><br><span class="acs_star"> </span>  <p> <span class="acs_name">Disco (South African In Netherlands)</span><br><span class="acs_text">Simphiwe is a Divah!!!She gave a great show on valentine's eve in Amsterdam.Wow!what a brilliant performance!!</span> </p> <p> <span class="acs_name">Odirilwe currently Netherlands</span><br><span class="acs_text">I love Simphiwe, she made a great show in Amsterdam yesterday, it was lovely-her voice get you thinking really hard, its amazing</span> </p> <p> <span class="acs_name">zazichombo@yahoo.com</span><br><span class="acs_text">A great and unique sound, voice; mix of natural instruments.</span> </p> </font></div></div><div class="hdots-1-rm"><a name="comment"><img src="/staticarchive/5ea3e7590d674d9be4582cc6f6c8e86070157686.gif" width="410" height="1" alt="" border="0"></a></div><div class="content-pad-rm"><form method="post" action="http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-store/commentscps/addcomment.pl"><input type="hidden" name="category" value="radio3"><input type="hidden" name="list" value="2008_simphiwe_dana"><div class="title-rm"><font size="2"><b>Tell us what you think:</b><br><br></font></div><div class="content-rm"><font size="2"><b>Your Name and Location:</b><br><input class="comments-rm" type="text" name="name" size="30"><br><b>Your comments:</b><br><textarea class="comments-rm" cols="35" rows="6" name="comment"></textarea><br></font><font size="1">Disclaimer: The BBC will put up as many of your comments as possible but we cannot guarantee that all e-mails will be published.
