Sikelela celebrates a tradition of Ingoma as a practice in the intimate exercise of liberation in action. The line-up is curated by The Brother Moves On’s Siyabonga Mthembu.
Taking the cue from the word Sikelela meaning “blessing” - from the first phrase in the South African national anthem – this event celebrates a tradition of Ingoma as a practice in the intimate exercise of liberation in action. This special concert invites the visionaries from the current scene which is referred to as the avant-garde of the Jazz and live music scene from South Africa.
