Synopsis

Product Description
Following her 2013 Juno Award for World Music Album - Lorraine and her co-producer Mongezi Ntaka (former lead guitarist with Lucky Dube) wanted to take some time choosing material for her next project. Lorraine wanted the songs to communicate the importance of family and social responsibility and after making some major changes in her life - new beginnings. The Soweto-born/Montréal based singer has been one of the foremost exponents of the classic sound of Township music, which continues to be the most distinctive sound to come out of South Africa. With Nouvelle Journée (New Day) she mines the mother lode of that infectious upbeat music - singing in some of the musical styles that she has yet to record in her long career. On this album she sings in Tsonga, Sotho, isiZulu & Xhosa languages of South Africa, English and French.
