Broken Horned Kudu is a jazz-rooted, cross-cultural single by Canadian singer-songwriter Heather Ferguson, recorded in collaboration with South African Jazz musicians in Cape Town. Blending Cape Jazz rhythms with English and Xhosa vocals, the song reflects on resilience and the fragility of life.

Inspired by Ferguson’s travels through East and Southern Africa, the song uses the image of a kudu with a broken horn as a metaphor for people and cultures finding ways to endure and to hope. Although set in Africa, Broken Horned Kudu will resonate with people throughout the world who find a way to survive, despite oppression and forces beyond their control. The result is a thoughtful, ensemble-driven recording that prioritizes a shared musical language
