The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music proudly presents Kozo Zwane for the March edition of Twosday, on Tuesday March 24, 2026, at 17h30.

Originally from Johannesburg, Kozo Zwane is a practicing musician who explores a variety of genres. He is heavily influenced by folk writing, South African Jazz and AmaZioni. His music is grounded by and in prayer - structured around vocal layering and guitar, his performances generally involve choral work from vocal ensemble Buyambo. 2024 saw him take on more solo shows, and he finally makes his debut at the UKZN Centre for Jazz and Popular Music.

His love for sonic experimentation has led him to the scoring of internationally-acclaimed films, as well as the creation of soundtracks for a show at SA Fashion Week 2022 as well as live theatre production Of Loss by TheatreDuo. He started 2024 with a performance at a Gift of the Givers’ fundraiser, opening for Alice Phoebe Lou at the Baxter theatre. Since then, he has performed on many sold-out shows in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban as a solo act and alongside collaborators such as Muneyi, Internet Athi and Kujenga.
