Immersed in the communal, ceremonial and healing qualities of music, this record is the next epoch from the South Africa-based multidisciplinary artist and follows his acclaimed solo eponymous debut. Recorded live with an ensemble of thirteen musicians,&nbsp;On the Romance of Being&nbsp;consists of eight movements that sonically sprawl across post-gospel, spiritual jazz, black classical and the ancient music of the Nguni and Ndau peoples and elicits a sincere conversation between the erotic and spiritual.

The album cover art is by contemporary painter Athi-Patra Ruga whose work has been presented at the 55th Venice Biennale, Louis Vuitton Foundation, MoMA &amp; more.
