Cat in the Bag" is the rough translation of their name, Ikati Esengxoweni. The alternative, world music nucleus is the duo of composers, Lark Wantu and Anam Manyati, two of the most productive talents to come out of Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa, of late. Accompanied by indigenous instruments, violin, bass, drums, and guitar, the voices of Wantu and Manyati open a torrent of rhythms and sounds that proudly wear the DNA of their continent.
