Qadasi performs at The Luthuli Museum in Groutville

Qadasi performs at The Luthuli Museum in Groutville

Date: 2015-05-08
David Jenkins, also known as Qadasi, is an accomplished Maskandi musician who developed a deep passion for Zulu culture and music at a young age growing up in Empangeni, right in the heart of Zululand. Qadasiwill be visiting the museum for two performances with a full band. The band will be at Luthuli Museum during the day to facilitate a schools program for young learners and in the evening the museum opens its doors to anyone from the community who would like to watch this young Maskandiartist and his band in action.

Now based in Durban, KwaZulu Natal, David is following his dream of being a professional Maskandi musician and is proud to be a SAMA (South African Music Award) and two-time SATMA (South African Traditional Music Achievement) Award nominee. With the release of his latest album titled, Uhambo Olusha (A New Journey), Qadasi's quest to revive traditional Zulu Maskandi music is well underway.

Over the past couple of years, Qadasi has accomplished a great deal as a South African artist, with some of his achievements including opening as the support act for Maskandi legend, Johnny Clegg, an appearance at the FNB Stadium for the first annual Nelson Mandela Sport and Culture Day, a brief tour in Ireland, and performances alongside Ladysmith Black Mambazo in 'Amambazo - The Musical'. Qadasi is presently under the independent label, Sande Entertainment, headed by Sibongiseni Shabalala, a member of four-time Grammy Award winning group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

There is much excitement in the promise of what lies ahead for this Maskandi artist who is continuing in the footsteps of this powerful genre's icons.

This performance is supported by Concerts SA and produced by iSupport Music Business and Luthuli Museum.

Don't miss Qadasi on Friday 22 May at Luthuli Museum, 3233 Nokukhanya Luthuli Street, Groutville at 6pm, R20 entrance fee.
