Art on Target presents: for your listening pleasure an acoustic concert ‘Natalia’ by: Nibs van der Spuy and special guest artist: Joe Vanderlinden
In September 2016, Nibs released his new album, ‘Natalia’ produced by world renowned producer Mark Tucker ( Portishead, PJ Harvey, Jethro Tull ) bringing together strong themes and images from Kwazulu and introducing new and exciting soundscapes to the music.

Nibs is returning to the Cape, after a successful spring tour in Italy, This will be his second leg of his ‘Natalia’ national tour and his first solo release in 5 years.

“Nibs is probably one of South Africa’s most underrated musicians of extraordinary talent.” AVSA (South Africa’s leading audio visual magazine
Nibs van der Spuy is one of the most extraordinary and exciting, world acoustic guitarists and exports to come out of South Africa. Raised in the fertile province of Kwazulu Natal, Nibs immersed himself in his natural environment to formulate a truly consummate and original sound. Growing up with the Beatles and learning first hand from traditional Zulu Maskandi guitarists, he quickly soaked up a rich tapestry of his close surroundings and beyond.
After playing the local folk scene around South Africa for years and gathering up a loyal following, his big stage break came after supporting Crosby, Stills and Nash on their 1996 South African tour. After that he was signed to the SHEER (South African World Music label) where he has released over 10 albums.

His third solo release, BEAUTIFUL FEET received highly acclaimed accolades around the world where it was album of the month in four German publications and RADIO FRANCE FIP pick of the week. Nibs continues to spread his musical beauty around the world where he has shared stages with the likes of Ben Harper, Bonnie Rait, Taj Mahal, Gito Baloi, Kelly Joe Phelps, Piers Faccini, Phillip Henry & Hannah Martin and Shawn Phillips and recording the critically acclaimed, ‘In the shade of the wild fig’, with long-time friend and collaborator, Guy Buttery.
