EXCLUSIVE: Creating the song 'This Town' was like for Jeremy Loops and Ladysmith Black Mambazo

The amazing Jeremy Loops collaborated with South Africa's biggest group - Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
Jeremy Loops’ special bond with the group formed from an upbringing that brimmed with musical curiosity and included 'Graceland', the Paul Simon album that was inspired by and widely features Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
His first experience of the astounding vocal power in Ladysmith Black Mambazo ended in tears for the young creative, who was left in complete awe.
As a self-taught musician, Jeremy’s South African background was filled with sunshine-soaked melodies, a love for surfing, and constant Bob Dylan-esque experimentation.
