ABOUT

Catch an up close & personal, one of a kind, one night only, expression by the multi-talented, award-winning Bongeziwe Mabandla on the Winston Stage as part of the inaugural eDikeni Summer Series 2021


Mabandla’s early musical influences had come from his childhood in the rural town of Tsolo in the Eastern Cape where he grew up singing in church, at school and at home. A move to Johannesburg to study drama at AFDA saw him continue exploring expressions of musical storytelling through a range of artists including Tracy Chapman, The Fugees, Jabu Khanyile, Bongo Maffin and Busi Mhlongo.


On its release in 2017, Mangaliso, (meaning “marvel” or “miracle”) signalled Mabandla’s extraordinary musical reach. A significant amount of the album’s success came from his collaboration with producer, Tiago Correia-Paulo, a Mozambican living in Johannesburg who had established himself as a masterful musician, songwriter and producer through his work with Tumi and the Volume and 340ml.


 Over the years, Bongeziwe Mabandla has steadily built a career that now sees him take his place as the enigmatic spirit of African Soul.
