How South Africa’s Abel Selacoe includes throat singing while playing the cello

South African cellist Abel Selacoe grew up in South Africa’s Sebokeng township. Despite learning classical cello he decided to combine it with traditional South African singing.

Abel includes vocals inspired by the deep throat singing of the Xhosa people.

His unique style has earned him international recognition with performances lined up with various musicians including the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican centre in London.
