Cape Town pianist Lihle Dunjana brings "iGugu" to KwaZulu Natal

Cape Town pianist Lihle Dunjana brings "iGugu" to KwaZulu Natal

Date: 2019-02-22

In association with Concerts SA, iSupport Music Business presents Cape Town based pianist and composer Lihle Dunjana on tour in KwaZulu Natal. Dunjana will be performing on Friday 1 March at Luthuli Museum in Groutville. The show starts at 6pm and the entry fee is R30.

The project Dunjana is presenting is titled iGugu. It is a mix of African American hardbound style, South African jazz and soul music. It is a unique sound that tells of her experiences and influences of past musicians.

"In my band, I always strive for openness, for musicians to be themselves, so we can fully collaborate, when there are no limits or boundaries, there is room for so much creativity and the birth of infinite things." says Dunjana.

For this performance Dunjana will be accompanied by Thabo Sikhakhane on trumpet, Dalisu Ndlazi on bass guitar and Tefo Mahola on drums.

Thembelihle Dunjana is a young pianist from born in Cape Town in one of S.A's historical townships, Gugulethu.

She is an improviser and teacher, who has, over the years, been very influenced by the transcendent realm of music and it being able to capture true honesty in a specific moment, to never be relived again. Dunjana started playing piano at the age of about, 11 years old, with a particular interest in searching and finding something new in the music every day, however, with the classical teaching she had at the time, this curiosity was somewhat inhibited and later found herself taking a large interest in improvisation and jazz, and has since graduated at the University of Cape Town with a BMUS is Jazz.

This series of performances by Lihle Dunjana is part of the Concerts SA Venue Circuit which aims to foster a love and support for live music in our communities, as well as anchor small and medium sized venues in urban and rural Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape.
