(Lu Dlamini)
Talented singer Lu Dlamini will give two concerts in KZN
this coming week:
The Centre for Jazz and Popular will present her on August 27
at 18h00 and her appearance at the Rainbow Restaurant in Pinetown takes place
on August 31 at 14h00.
No stranger to the stage, whenever Lu Dlamini performs the
audience is transfixed by her music and carried on a magical journey. She is influenced
by her journey in life and, to a lesser degree, the many artists she has worked
with in her career. It is mostly traditional African music influences such as
amahubo, umakhweyana and isichathamiya that speak to her as a vocalist and
composer. There is also a little bit of umubholoho (african choral) and an afro
jazz element to her sound.
Lu Dlamini comes from a deeply musical family. She was
exposed to and played with her brothers, Sphelele, Njeza and Sazi, who played
guitars / sang and also played various indigenous instruments.
She has worked as a backing vocalist and a session musician
for artists like Jonas Gwangwa, Sipho Hotstix Mabuse, Sankomota, Mango Groove
and Brenda Fassie. She has toured extensively both locally and internationally
with some of these artists.
Dlamini will be joined by Paki Peloeole (drums), Mazwakhe
Gumede (Bass), Sibusiso Mashiloane (Keys) and Khaya Dlamini (Sax).
