We celebrated one of South Africa's most extraordinary piano talents this week with Thembi Dunjana. Dunjana has established herself as a star in Cape Town's rich jazz scene. Drawing upon varied inspirations that range from the American influences of John Coltrane Horace Silver, and McCoy Tyner to South African legends like Moses Taiwa Molelekwa and Bheki Mseleku. Dunjana released her Mzantsi jazz award-winning project Intyatyambo in 2020, winning best Best Jazz & Best Female Jazz in 2021. She is back in 2024, with her follow up sophomore project God Bless Ikapa. God Bless Mzantsi, A dedication to the the people of Cape Town and South Africa.
