Cape Town - Nakhane Touré is a Johannesburg based artist. He was born in Alice, a small town in the Eastern Cape, and raised predominantly in Port Elizabeth.
His debut album, Brave Confusion owes as much to traditional African music as it does to recent Alternative music, ‘60s soul. He may have taken the name Touré in homage to his idol Ali Farka Touré, but he is as likely to cite Morrissey, Nina Simone, Black Flag, TKZee or Radiohead as influences. And he’ll as often pluck the strings of an acoustic guitar as play electric rock riffs or slinky, Prince-style funk.
