The Cape Cultural Collective is proud to release Mother City Vibes, an original instrumental track recorded by MJ and the Camissa Knights.

The track is composed by Mansoor Jaffer (MJ) and arranged by veteran jazz musician and music educator George Werner. The two played guitar and keyboard for the studio recording. The other musicians are Carlo Fabe (drums), Peter Ndlala (bass), Muneeb Hermans (trumpet) and Uviwe Caso (guitar).

The track was recorded by Cape Town Sound and filmed by Tri-Squared (video). Mario Jutzen did the cover design and Mike Benjamin took photographs. Gaenor Erasmus Hartenberg did admin and logistics, Vusumuzi Mpofu media support and Kay Jaffer proofing the drafts.

The CCC owes a debt of gratitude to everyone involved in this project.

The project was undertaken under the banner of Triple C Recordings, one of the nine programmes of the CCC.
