For this performance Mashiloane will be accompanied by Zoe The Seed on vocals, Dalisu Ndlazi on bass guitar and Riley Giandhari on drums.

“Live music performances are very much shaped by the audience. So knowing the history of this area gives me assurance that there will be a lot of singing and dancing from the audiences, young and old. I am very much looking forward to the experience: Ngiya KwaZulu! ” says Mashiloane

Mashiloane is a prolific artist whose academic credentials speak volumes for the kind of passion and discipline he has for music. He has a Masters in Jazz Performance and graduated Cum Laude from the University of KwaZulu-Natal. He is an integral performer and has been well received by audiences while touring the country and beyond, to promote his two albums Amanz’ Olwandle (2016) and Rotha – A Tribute to Mama (2017).

Not only is Mash a great artist in this very vibrant time in South African jazz music, he also is a teacher with a focused goal to help grow talent form a firm foundation of African Roots. He lectures at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and Durban Music School. His focus is to teach and organize live music performances with his students focusing on South African composers and in line with this development he is currently busy with his PHD focusing on South African composers.
