The majestic Jazz family is coming to town, and we are beyond thrilled to host them! Hailing from the illustrious Syncopation City—perched between the sultry hills of Improvisation and the rhythmic rivers of Swing—they’re set to grace our stage with their unmatched artistry.

Leading the royal entourage is none other than the King of Township Jazz, the legendary Tanga Wekwa Sando. With guitar notes as sweet and juicy as mangoes and chords spiced with the crunch of paprika, his soulful voice and masterful string work promise a performance that will reign supreme.



By his side is the Queen of the Midnight Blues, Prudence Katomeni-Mbofana. Her voice is a glowing ember, crackling with the echoes of forgotten dreams and hidden sorrows. Her melodies, both tender and fierce, will sweep you into an emotional whirlwind you’ll never want to escape.
Adding a youthful flair to the royal affair is Taz, whose vibrant and playful jazz style bursts with energy. With a voice as melodic as a nightingale’s and moves as fluid as a galloping stallion, he’s set to bring an unforgettable charm to the evening.
Completing this royal court is the soulful Tariro Negitare, weaving tales of Syncopation City with her guitar. Her music will transport you to a world where the streets hum with jazz rhythms and the skies shimmer with melody.



Welcoming these distinguished guests are our very own jazz royalty: the King of the Southern Regions, Jeys Marabhini, and the radiant Thandi Bhala. King Jeys will showcase a homegrown jazz blend that’s raw, danceable, and utterly captivating, while Thandi will add a unique touch with her soulful fusion of jazz and afrosoul.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime royal gathering! Prepare to be enchanted, moved, and uplifted by an extraordinary lineup of talent and energy. Let the magic of Jazz reign supreme!
