John Wizards

pitchfork

John Wizards is the project of 25-year-old Cape Town, South Africa resident John Withers. His debut album mixes styles that are, as goes the great promise of cultural consumption in the internet age, pan-global. It ranges from the peppy end of Ghanaian highlife to the crisp optimism of Withers' native mbaqanga, from 80s disco to swing-heavy instrumental hip-hop.
