DIZU STARTS WORK ON A NEW ALBUM
23/8/2013
Dizu and producer Patrick Lee-Thorp got together in Milestone Studios in Cape Town for the first sessions that hopefully will result in a new album. First up was Allou April on his hollow bodied electric guitar picking out some catchy african riffs.

Then Derek Gripper on acoustic guitar with Dizu on Umhube and Uhadi. Derek has some experience of the Umhube when he worked with Madosini. Very interesting stuff.
