Concert: "Thembi Dunjana Quartet – Stories of the New"

The young pianist unites traditional South African rhythms and current jazz to a soulful individual sound

[Translate to English:] Thembi Dunjana

Deeply rooted in Cape Town’s jazz heritage, she fuses these influences with elements of neo-soul and the hard-swinging energy of artists like McCoy Tyner and Moses Molelekwa – without being confined to any single genre. Together with vibraphonist Sonja Huber, bassist Luca Sisera, and drummer Valeria Zangger, she presents brand-new compositions set to be recorded in New York this October.

In collaboration with the Centre for African Studies
