Izipho Soul records - About Us & Release News

Izipho Soul records - About Us & Release News magazine cover

Stumbled on this the other day and thought may be of interest

Basically it a website 'about us' page from the Izipho Records website, but rather than a generic sort of site description, it goes way beyond that and gives an insight on the thinking, the origins, the practices and such behind this intriguing record label

Clip below

IZIPHO SOUL RECORDS

Firstly, please let me explain the strange label name origins! As a lover of legendary jazz saxophonist, Pharoah Sanders, his 1973 Strata East album entitled IZIPHO ZAM, translates from the Zulu language IZIPHO, meaning ‘gifts’, therefore IZIPHO SOUL translates to 'Soul Gifts' / 'Gifts of Soul', which is what our music is!

This ‘bucket list’ idea of putting out a record all started after I became great friends with Kansas City based singer Bryan Austin. We hit on the idea of getting Bryan back on vinyl. Bryan is a dear friend of legendary Motown songwriter Janie Bradford, she had given him one of her songs ‘What Would Marvin Say?’. The three of us worked together and released the first record in May 2016.
