(Vocal Jazz, Smooth Jazz, World) Judith Sephuma - A Cry, A Smile, A Dance - 2001, MP3 (tracks), 320 kbps

Her debut album - A Cry, A Smile, A Dance - was released in 2001, and brought Judith (who had already earned the attention of the more serious music community whilst studying music at the University of Cape town where she graduated with an Honours Degree in Jazz Performance in 2000) and her remarkable voice to a wider audience. The album, and especially the title track, turned Judith into one of South Africa's premier artist, performing extensively both at home and abroad, earning several awards as well as platinum sales.
Some of the several awards she has received include:
Two 2002 South African Music Awards (Best female Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album for A Cry, A Smile and A Dance)
Two 2002 KORA All Africa Music Awards (Best Artist from Southern Africa, and Best African Female Artist)
Two Metro FM Music Awards (Best Female Vocalist, Best Jazz Artist)
Judith's second album was released in 2005, 4 years after her debut album (mainly due to her intense live performance schedule which took her as far as the Netherlands, Mexico and Senegal). A mix of English and Vernacular songs (sePhedi, Xhosa, Tswana), New Beginnings is providing more insight into Sephuma's talent, with the singer taking songwriting and co-producing duties on much of the album. http://www.fiveseasonsmusic.co.za/judithsephuma.htm
