keyboardsAbout
Musical Style: Jazz Nduduzo Makhathini grew up in the lush and rugged hillscapes of umGungundlovu in South Africa, a peri-urban landscape in which music and ritual practices were symbiotically linked.

It is important to note that the Zulu, in fact the African warrior code, is deeply reliant on music for motivation and healing. This deeply embedded symbiosis is key to understanding Makhathini’s vision.The church also played a role in Makhathini’s musical understanding, as he hopped from church to church in his younger days in search of only the music...
