Key words describe Putuma's vocal prowess: earthy, afro-soulful, ethno-trendy, afro-jazzy and spiritual. Since appearing on the Joburg performance circuit as a backing vocalist behind some of the most established and accomplished artists in the afro-soul, jazz and gospel genres, Putuma has commanded a presence on stage that already exhibits an artist of a particular stature, classy, with distinct artistic sophistication. Having had the opportunity of being behind the success of most leading artists in South Africa, Putuma is surely going to stand the test of time. Putuma will release her debut album in July 2010.
