Master pianist Nduduzo Makhathini visits KZN

Master pianist Nduduzo Makhathini visits KZN

Date: 2016-10-21
Pianist Nduduzo Makhathini. Makhathini and his band will visit Luthuli Museum in Groutville, Seaman's Corner in Hammarsdale and Rainbow Restaurant in Pinetown.

Growing up in the small town uMgungundlovu near Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal, Makhathini was surrounded by music as a child. Coming from a very musical family - his mother was a pianist and his father a guitarist - he was exposed to a range of music including traditional Zulu music.

He recalls turning the knob on the radio until it reached the end, where he would listen to Indian music. He was part of the choir at school and would sing at church.

It was only after High School that he started to study jazz piano. "I reached a point where my voice limited me from expressing the music, and that's when I focused on the piano.''

He feels his career has developed in what he describes as `an organic process', starting with his upbringing and the influence of his mother as his first piano teacher. "Over the years, I have learnt that if you submit yourself to the music or whatever your dream is, mother-nature has a way of taking care of the rest".

On 4 November at the Luthuli Museum in Groutville, Makhathini and his band will also give a performance workshop to scholars from the Ilembe District.
