“In October 2020, The Unity Band went on a writing retreat, spending 9 days writing and recording a new album. We titled it Breaking Bread which came from our mutual feeling and appreciation for the time we spent together. Our writing retreat was at a stunning and inspiring small town on the garden route called Kleinbrak, where we and our engineer, Andre Hough, set up gear in our living room and zoomed in on writing this album. We all channeled our creative energy as a unit and did everything from sharing meals to fine-tuning arrangements in this beach house in Kleinbrak, and what came out of it was the album which is the product of that bubble of creativity and family. In the album, we explore themes of Hope, Love, Togetherness, Reflections, Homage, Appreciation, Family, Inspiration, and Happiness.” – Lumanyano Bizana (The Unity Band)
“We cannot begin to tell you all how much this album means to us. This baby of ours was conceived in a global pandemic, slow baked for over two years, emerging with a soft fluffy inner and crispy golden crust…siyosebenza!” - The Unity Band

"The Unity Band has done well not to offer mere odes but a carefully balanced selection of influences stemming from standards and more modern takes on the art form..." - Kalin Pashaliev / musicinafrica.net
