The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music will
present songbird Zethe on Wednesday July 10, 2019.
Zethe is the 2017 Vodacom NXT LVL winner. The Vodacom’s aim of the competition was to
discover raw talent they could assist get to the Nxt Lvl and become big in the
music industry. Zethe came at the top after South Africa voted her as their
favourite artist out of four other contestants. She has performed on some of
the biggest stages in South Africa including the SAMAS25 and is the new face of
Newtown Junction Mall. With this show, Zethe launches her brand new single Ithuba Elisha.
She first released her debut single Zazi on April 25, 2018 – see https://itunes.apple.com/za/album/zazi/1373914558?i=1373915612.
That dynamite comes in small packages is
witnessed whenever this sensational afro/soul/jazz and house singer takes the
stage wherever she goes. Her uniquely powerful voice stands out and lingers
even long after she has gone.
