Let It Flow: Esinam & Sibusile Xaba Channel Spirit and Sound

Esinam and Sibusile Xaba have released “Flowing Keep Flowing,” the third single from their upcoming debut album Healing Voices, due April 25, 2025, via W.E.R.F. Records. The track follows the critical success of earlier singles “Africa Wola” and “Ready to Love.”

Originally based on “Flowing River” from Esinam’s solo debut, where Xaba first contributed vocals, this reimagined version marks a key moment in their collaboration. First performed live at WOMAD South Africa in 2022, it became the foundation for their recording sessions at Dyertribe Studio.

“Flowing Keep Flowing” evolves gradually, opening with spacious, meditative tones before building into a dynamic, rhythmic crescendo. The composition reflects the duo’s core spirit: openness, connection, and the continuous movement of creative energy.

Esinam (Belgian-Ghanaian) and Xaba (from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) mix Afro-electronica, spiritual jazz, and ancestral influences. Their interplay of voice, flute, guitar, percussion, electronics, and samples creates music that is both rooted in tradition and forward-looking. Furthermore, their performances often blur the line between ritual and rhythm.
