SUMMARY:Kwa Nongoma by Linda Sikhakhane & Paras “Sibalukhulu” Dlamini
DESCRIPTION:KwaNongoma: Linda Sikhakhane & Paras “Sibalukhulu” Dlamini \n\n\n\nKwaNongoma is a collaborative project between saxophonist Linda Sikhakhane and vocalist Paras “Sibalukhulu” Dlamini. This project seeks to open a sonic discourse on questions of song\, belonging and collective memory towards igniting societal values through song (ingoma). \n\n\n\nKwaNongoma will draw its repertoires from two recently released albums by these longtime collaborators: Ingoma Busuku (2025) and iLadi (2024). Consequently\, the bandstand on the evening will open space for reinforcing shared understandings and commemorative forms of communal practices. \n\n\n\nTenor: Linda Sikhakhane \n\n\n\nVocal: Paras “Sibalukhulu” Dlamini \n\n\n\nDouble Bass: Dalisu Ndlazi \n\n\n\nDrums: Damian Kemineth \n\n\n\nSpecial guest: \n\n\n\nCameron Ward \n\n\n\n“Through his searching\, saxophonist\, composer and Blue Note artist Linda Sikhakhane \n\n\n\nepitomises the vibrant evolution of South Africa’s jazz landscape. The Umlazi-born and \n\n\n\nKwaNongoma descendant musician establishes a conversation between the contemporary \n\n\n\nand traditional\, homegrown and global while steeping his ruminations on the personal\, \n\n\n\nsocietal\, spiritual and cultural in rich tones. Owing inspiration to greats such as John \n\n\n\nColtrane\, Bheki Mseleku\, Winston Mankunku Ngozi\, Nduduzo Makhathini\, \n\n\n\nSikhakhane’s style is informed by the interplay between the metropolitan and the folkloric. \n\n\n\nHis offerings deftly align these sonic influences with theoretical concepts drawn from both \n\n\n\nhereditary customs and academic abstraction” \n\n\n\n“Siphamandla Dlamini better known as ‘Paras Sibalukhulu \n\n\n\n‘’Dlamini’ in the music scene\, born and raised in kwamashu and ulundi finished his \n\n\n\nsecondary schooling at Masibumbane High school\, uLundi. He discovered \n\n\n\nhis musical talent whilst growing up as a church boy in uLundi\, when he \n\n\n\nlearnt how to play drums. When he took a break from music he focused \n\n\n\nhis energies on sports (valleyball and soccer) which he played at district \n\n\n\nlevel” \n\n\n\nDoors open at 6pm show starts at 8pm
