(Thuto
Motsemme)
The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will
present Thuto Motsemme this evening (Wednesday October 31, 2018) at 18h00.
Motsemme is a flexible and versatile bass
player who hails from Kwa-Mashu, in KZN. He was introduced to music when he was
13 and participated in local choirs as a baritone singer. He later studied
music in Durban.
He has worked with different musicians over
the years, such as Feya Faku, Andile Yenana, Themba Mkhize, Steve Dyer and Bheki
Khoza, to name a few. This has assisted him in developing his own unique and
distinctive sound. Motsemme draws his influence from a variety of music
including church hymn, African folk music, avant-garde, and hip-hop, jazz. His
compositions are fresh, bubbly and full of energy; anyone who encountered with
his music gets transformed because of intensity and his commitment to this art
form called music.
