(Nono
Nkoane)
The Centre for jazz and Popular Music will
present Nono Nkoane on July 19, 2017, at 18h00.
For this show, singer- songwriter Nono
Nkoane contemplates the relationship between jazz and African music. The
presentation consists of re-imagined compositions from her debut album True Call" as well as some new,
never heard before pieces. Her performance is packed with enthralling moments
of intense improvisation, reminiscent of traditional African and jazz music.
The synergy between herself and the highly-skilled musicians on the bandstand
invites you to go on this wondrous journey with them.

at Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). She has found herself on many great
stages with many top performers; from the Robben Island Festival, Standard Bank
Joy Of Jazz, Stellenbosch Amphitheatre, Baxter theatre, State theatre (Tshwane)
