Madala Kunene at Luthuli Museum in Celebration of Heritage Month
In association with Concerts SA and Luthuli Museum, iSupport Music Business presents two duos at Luthuli Museum in Groutville on Friday 28 September 2018. Headliner singer-songwriter Madala Kunene will be backed by Njabulo Shabalala on percussions and opening for him will be guitarist Nick Pitman with drummer Riley Ghiandari. The doors open at 6pm and tickets are available for R30 at the door.
"The last time I performed in Groutville was in 1968 with a band called iZanusi. People should expect what they are not used to, the Madalaline Music." says Kunene about the performance.
Nick Pitman is Durban guitarist currently enrolled for a BMus degree at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. What began as a passion is now his profession. Nick has been playing guitar for more than 10 years, during which time he has explored the rock, blues and jazz genres and he has earned himself a reputation among local artists, fans and the wider South African musical community.
Riley Joseph Giandhari (RileyG) was born in Durban. He started playing drums at the age of 3 and was passionate about taking it further. At the age of 15 he started playing the drums at church and with a few gospel bands. Although he has considered degrees in other fields of study, Riley has always been drawn back to music and therefore enrolled to study Jazz at UKZN in 2013. Apart from studying music, Riley is currently a session drummer who records and performs with various musicians and artists at corporate functions, weddings and jazz venues. He also teaches drums, basic piano and music theory.
The host of this event, The Luthuli Museum, is a national cultural institution charged with conserving, upholding, promoting and propagating the life, values, philosophies, and legacy of the late Chief Albert Luthuli.
