(Sibusiso “Mash” Mashiloane)
In association with Concerts SA, iSupport Music Business and Rainbow
Restaurant present Sibusiso “Mash” Mashiloane Live in concert.
Sibusiso “Mash” Mashiloane presents his 7-track recording project Amanz’ Olwandle with this concert series
in KwaZulu-Natal. Mash and his band will visit Seaman’s Corner in Hammarsdale
on April 1, Rainbow Restaurant in Pinetown on April 2 and Luthuli Museum in
Groutville on April 7.
With his catchy, self-written compositions that always aim to blur the
line between jazz and other genres Mash is quick in winning the hearts and
minds of a large public. He and his band played not only the main stages of the
KZN circuit, but also many major jazz festivals and his live performances
brought him as far as USA. As a pianist he appeared with many different groups
around the world and was initiating projects of his own. After getting his
Masters degree in Jazz Performance and graduating Cum Laude from the University
of KwaZulu-Natal his aim is now to become an integral part of the South African
and international jazz scene. Mash plans to release a seven-track album every
year for the next seven years starting with this first release.
Mash’ debut record Amanz' Olwandle
is an accrual and reflection of every music experience he has accumulated
throughout his upbringing and music career. It is a melting pot of fresh
instrumental and vocal pieces that ooze with bold Afrocentric and contemporary
rhythms, sweet melodies and soulful harmonies. This record is a must for anyone
who appreciates African, Spiritual, Soul, Jazz, Funk, Lounge and even
sophisticated House music. He has worked with a range of recognised vocalists
and instrumentalists, such as Nick Pitman, Zoe The Seed, Xolisa Dlamini and
Paras Dlamini.
For the performances, his band will comprise of Sibusiso Mashiloane on
keys, Riley Giandhari on drums, Xolisa Dlamini on vocals, Nick Pitman on guitar
and Qhubekani Mthethwa on bass guitar.
“For this launch tour people can expect to hear the many different faces
from the album, without compromising the sound that I have created to be my
own.” Says Mash
