XAVIER RUDD and IZINTABA ANNOUNCE
their new album release
Koonyum Sun
with 2010 World Tour and dates announced for Europe!

Fresh out of 301 Studios in Byron Bay Australia where Xavier just finished
up his latest record Koonyum Sun, he is hitting the road again with a new
line up and sound.

During the summer of 2008 while touring in Europe, Xavier had an amazing
unifying experience with some fellow musicians from South Africa. Bassist
Tio Moloantoa and Drummer Andile Nqubezelo who had formerly played with
South African reggae legend the late Lucky Dube. The three formed a
spiritual connection that extended beyond their musical respect for each
other. A relationship, that like their musical tastes, reflects a passion
for unifying culture, sound and understanding. This connection has become,
Xavier Rudd and Izintaba.

Xavier has this to share about his experience
Playing with Tio and Andile is the most inspirational music experience I’ve
had to date.  Izintaba is the Zulu word for mountains.  I chose this because
when I am with the guys in spirit, musically and emotionally, I feel like
I’m standing on top of a great mountain.My life has taken a
turn in many ways and I feel a new energy around the great gift of what I
do.  I’m more ready than ever to play music and I’m very proud of Koonyum
Sun. Can’t wait to groove with you.

Koonyum Sun will be released to the World
April 20, 2010
