Internationally celebrated jazz saxophonist Moreira Chonguiça has released his second Moreira Project album, Citizen of the World. Originally from Mozambique but now based in Cape Town, Chonguiça says that the album has drawn from extensive travel experiences and other multifarious inspiration. Indeed, the saxophone-led jazz offers a fresh take on the sound of Africa by fusing diasporic grooves with passion and funk. Fittingly, the design is as fresh. The bold album packaging announces this fresh breath of aural stimulation. Endearing photos by renowned artist Zwelethu Mthethwa are shown off by a clean, considered design, while the electric red-and-orange motif makes the eyes sing. Oh all right, maybe I’m just biased because it was designed by Design Indaba’s own Richard Quintal and Brian Mtongana.
