(Titi Luzipo)
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will present Being Woman by Titi Luzipo on August 2..
Luzipo has become a household name in the jazz
circles of the country. She studied Bachelor of Music, majoring in Jazz
Performance at the University of Cape Town. She also did a course in Performing
Arts at the University of the Western Cape.
By the tender age of 21, Luzipo had already shared
the stage and worked closely with local and international music stars including
Feya Faku, McCoy Mrubata, Gloria Bosman, Judith Sephuma, Zonke, Caiphus
Semenya, Loyiso Bala, Ringo Madlingozi and George Benson.
“The importance of women in society has become a
foreign understanding. The role women play in society should be celebrated more
than it currently is. With the recent killings of women in the country, it is
only befitting to heal those who have been affected by this terrific ordeal
through song and intricate melodies. Being
Woman celebrates the art and power of a woman,” says Luzipo.
“The pain endured yet the joy it brings. Most
people refer to people as human beings, some say women are women beings. We
need to start thinking what it actually means to BE A WOMAN,” she adds.
One of her recent achievements was recently
completed a successful tour in Germany and Switzerland with South Africa’s
greatest acapella bands – Africappella. Luzipo is now focused on her 1st debut
album which will be released in 2017.
