Join the UKZN School of Arts-Music’s lunch
hour concert today (Monday, August 19) when the programme features David
Jenkins, fondly known as uQadasi by his friends and fans alike. Jenkins
recently wowed the audience at a recent “Twosday” event, which is another
initiative of the School of Arts-Music, in trying to keep music culture alive
and growing.
The son
of the late well-known KZN journalist Chris Jenkins, David
is an accomplished Maskandi musician who developed a deep passion for Zulu
culture and music at a young age. Based in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, Jenkins and
the Qadasi band are on a quest to bring back traditional Zulu Maskandi music
while including a fusion of traditional and more contemporary styles.
The concert takes place at today at 12h15
in Howard College Theatre and entrance is free. For more information contact Lu
