With the success of Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” Black country music is having a moment. Tapping into that energy is Dusty & Stones, from the tiny African nation of Eswatini.
With the success of Beyoncé’s newest album, “Cowboy Carter,” and the rise of artists like Nigerian American singer Shaboozey, Black country music is having a moment. Tapping into that energy is Dusty & Stones. Cousins Gazi “Dusty” Simelane and Linda “Stones” Msibi grew up working together on their grandparents’ farm in the rolling southern hills before forming their country music band.
Dusty & Stones reached new heights in 2023 when they performed at the Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville, Tennessee, the pinnacle of success for country musicians. Founded in 1925, the radio station and associated music venue has seen performances from scores of country legends. The duo has been playing for years, but their recognition comes with country music at an inflection point.
