Together with a team of talented artists from the Eastern Cape and Zimbabwe, the group was awarded the ESP Young Legends title, securing a performance slot at the renowned Cape Town International Jazz Festival in 2019.

Her songwriting talent is also featured on Edgar Muzah’s SAMA28-nominated album, “Son of a Tribe.” Expanding her creative reach, Andy ventured into live production, directing and presenting “INTLOMBE,” which earned a Standard Bank Bronze Ovation Award. Her contributions to Asanda Mqiki’s “The Vocal Explosion” further demonstrated her versatility, winning a Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award. In August 2024, Andy released her single “Isicelo Sam”, a heartfelt plea to her ancestors.

Kwa Nongoma by Linda Sikhakhane & Paras “Sibalukhulu” Dlamini
2025-10-03 18:00 - 2025-10-04 02:00 | Selective Live, 189 Buitengragt, Cape Town, 8001, South Africa
KwaNongoma: Linda Sikhakhane & Paras “Sibalukhulu” Dlamini

KwaNongoma 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).

KwaNongoma 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.

Tenor: Linda Sikhakhane

Vocal: Paras “Sibalukhulu” Dlamini

Double Bass: Dalisu Ndlazi

Drums: Damian Kemineth

Special guest:

Cameron Ward

“Through his searching, saxophonist, composer and Blue Note artist Linda Sikhakhane

epitomises the vibrant evolution of South Africa’s jazz landscape. The Umlazi-born and

KwaNongoma descendant musician establishes a conversation between the contemporary

and traditional, homegrown and global while steeping his ruminations on the personal,

societal, spiritual and cultural in rich tones. Owing inspiration to greats such as John

Coltrane, Bheki Mseleku, Winston Mankunku Ngozi, Nduduzo Makhathini,

Sikhakhane’s style is informed by the interplay between the metropolitan and the folkloric.

His offerings deftly align these sonic influences with theoretical concepts drawn from both

hereditary customs and academic abstraction”

“Siphamandla Dlamini better known as ‘Paras Sibalukhulu

‘’Dlamini’ in the music scene, born and raised in kwamashu and ulundi finished his

secondary schooling at Masibumbane High school, uLundi. He discovered

his musical talent whilst growing up as a church boy in uLundi, when he

learnt how to play drums. When he took a break from music he focused

his energies on sports (valleyball and soccer) which he played at district

level”

Behind the kit, longtime collaborator Karen Rutter is perfectly paired to expand

on this experiential journey, with groove-driven bassist Marlene Laros sitting in

the pocket in the backline.

transcend time and space and unite all present in an expansive, aural heart space.
