Swati Vocalist Zoe The Seed brings a visit to Eshowe

Swati Vocalist Zoe The Seed brings a visit to Eshowe

Date: 2017-05-05

In association with Concerts SA, iSupport Music Business presents Zoe The Seed Live in concert. Zoe The Seed and her band will visit Eshowe on Sunday 28 May when she will bring a live performance to MC Lounge in King Dinuzulu Township. On Monday 29 May, she will bring 2 concerts for various high and primary schools in the region.

Zoe The Seed is a qualified jazz vocalist from Swaziland based in Durban. Most of her compositions consist of her own compositions that showcase her Swazi lyric flare of writing. Additionally, she is influenced by South African jazz, gospel and world music. All those influences together resulted in a sultry African modal sound that tackles everyday issues and include songs about the forever rising statistic of child and women abuse affecting many South Africans. Zoe The Seed has shown immense interest in bringing music awareness in communities and schools. As a facilitator at the Bat Centre she was exposed to being a music educator, a mentor and a friend to her students. Through the support of iSupport Music Business and Concerts SA, she has provided workshops to facilities like Amatikulu Primary School and Albert Luthuli museum, educating young learners about jazz music and how it affects our music industry.

Alongside Zoe The Seed local support act Good Reflection Jazz Band will also perform. This band is situated in Eshowe and was established in 2010 by four of their members: Collen Alexander, Kenneth Mendluli, Ernest Shange and Sakhephi Buthelezi. In 2017, they recorded a 6-track album titled Anger that is due for release in June 2017.

Concerts SA is a joint South African/Norwegian live music development project housed within the SAMRO Foundation. Concerts SA receives financial, administrative and technical support from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, SAMRO, the SAMRO Foundation and Concerts Norway. Working with musicians, promoters, venue owners and audiences, and providing support to the sector through research and skills development for music professionals, the project aims to build a vibrant and viable live music circuit in southern Africa. It also aims to develop an interest in and appreciation of live music by showcasing music performances and conducting workshops at schools.
