Linda Sikhakhane Iladi Lokubonga

Linda Sikhakhane presents ‘Iladi Lokubonga’

Through his searching, saxophonist, arranger and composer Linda Sikhakhane epitomises the vibrant evolution of South Africa’s jazz landscape. The Umlazi-born and KwaNongoma descendant musician establishes a conversation between the contemporary and traditional, homegrown and global while steeping his ruminations on the personal, societal, spiritual and cultural in rich tones.

Iladi serves as a testament to Linda’s artistic evolution, blending his imaginative style with compositions rich in cultural significance. This is Sikhakhane’s debut project with Blue Note & Universal Music Group Africa, following an important accolade as the Standard Bank Young Artist for Jazz in 2022 which gave birth to Iladi.

Join Linda as he offers a musical expression of gratitude to his hometown, inviting you to share in a communal experience that is both introspective and celebratory.
