Siya Makuzeni

Sibusiso Mash Mashiloane, a multi-award-winning South African pianist and composer, is delighted to announce the release of his seventh album, Izibongo, on August 27th 2023 with a concert at Untitled Basement in Johannesburg.
Spanning instrumental compositions influenced by traditional South African instruments, combined with a line-up of piano, saxophone, double bass, percussion and drums, this record celebrates African musical traditions and pays homage to Mash’s cultural roots and forebears.

Conceived in the Mushroom Hour Half Hour lab, SPAZA is a band with no permanent personnel, with each lineup assembled for the express purpose of recording once-off improvised or workshopped material. For this, the initial salvo, SPAZA was put together from a group of musicians with individual and collective links to Johannesburg’s jazz, afro funk and experimental electro scenes.

This 14-track album continues Dyer's creative journey of making rich and immersive music which places him amongst the new wave of South African jazz artists, including the likes of Siya Makuzeni and Nduduzo Makhathini.
