Madala Kunene at Selective Live
2024-12-23 18:00 - 23:30 | Selective Live, 189 Buitengragt, Cape Town, 8001, South Africa
Affectionately known as Madala Kunene, a world-renowned guitarist, he was recognised by the University for his outstanding contribution to the South African music industry. He decided he wanted to be a musician early in life and fashioned his own guitar from a cooking oil tin and strings made from fishing line.

In his acceptance address presented in isiZulu, Kunene expressed gratitude to the University for his musical recognition. He also took to the stage to perform one of his songs that had audiences enthralled. Kunene reflected on his humble beginnings playing the guitar with friends in Mkhumbane, Durban, in the 1950s. Despite the challenges they faced as artists, including poverty and oppression, they persevered and contributed to South African music.

Kunene encouraged graduates to pursue their dreams, despite obstacles, and to make meaningful contributions to society. He said, ‘As your journey starts today, it is important to know who you are, and to truly follow what is your gift. We are not only studying for ourselves, but we are studying to improve society.

Turning professional in the 1970s, Kunene has shared the stage with great musicians including Doc Mthalane, Songamasu, Shor Philips, Mankunku Ngozi and Busi Mhlongo.

Kunene started recording music in the 1990s and in 1995 released an album Madamax with Swiss guitarist and songwriter Max Lasser. He later released King of the Zulu Guitar – Vol. 1, which sold well overseas and was a SAMA-nominated album.

In 2004, he composed the score for the feature film Yesterday, while in 2014, he collaborated with various local and international artists to produce: Madala Kunene – BAFO the Mentor, The Forest Jam Sessions, Vol. 3.

Released in 2015, the album 1959, featured musical giants including Lu Dlamini, Hugh Masekela, Sthembiso Hlela, Max Lasser, Vishen Kemraj, Sazi Dlamini.

The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music is proud to host a musical celebration of Dr Madala Kunene in acknowledging this historic occasion, his long and invaluable association with UKZN, and his central role as a musician and cultural icon in our community. Dr Madala Kunene will be joined by Lu Dlamini, Vishen Kemraj and Bab Themba Mokoena.

Sylvestre Samba Kabassidi is a rebel with a sensitive soul. His music breaks stereotypes and takes African song in new directions, yet universal and sophisticated but rooted in tradition. Born in Pointe-Noire, the Congo Republic, the coast is not the only similarity Sylvestre finds between Pointe-Noire and Cape Town which he calls his adoptive home.

His passion for music began in his childhood at a very early age, surrounded by beautiful melodies from home and the outside world. Sylvestre started feeling the influence of music and its sounds that make people experience passion, joy, peace, happiness and love, when chosen to participate in a professional album recording.

Sylvestre sings in French, Lari, English, and some Afrikaans, and represents a new generation of African artists who emphasise fragile melodies and poetic lyrics, rather than super-produced floor burners. Armed with acoustic guitar accompanied by percussions and rich vocals, Sylvestre is part of a quiet revolution in African music.

This is passionate and expressive music, cosmopolitan, yet simple in arrangement but rich in sentiment. His lyrics, voice, music and presence will move you from the inside out.

Sylvestre has sang as part of the Koko Novo Movie Band.

He has also had great collaborations with

At their core Interlace is a four piece fusion hip hop band, but what they represent is a lot more – Interlace believe that there is a wealth of musical creativity buried right here in Cape Town and they are on a mission to unearth all the talent they can find. They have successfully hosted two events aimed at doing just that. Check out more of that here @interlace_music

As far as their sound goes; they have managed to find a blend between clever hip hop lyricism with the raw energy of rock music, they also draw influence from a few other genres. This band is a definite must see if you are a fan of originality.
