Hidden Gems – A tribute to women of colour in South Africa

“Hidden Gems ” is a tribute to not only women of colour musicians in South African jazz from past to present but also highlighting their important contributions through their inspiring original works in a performance .This performance is presented by Lauren Hendricks, a young musician/photographer who recently graduated with her masters in jazz studies at the University of Cape Town.
The intent behind this performance/s is to create a space to pay tribute to iconic female musicians of colour in the South African jazz industry who have paved the way for many who have come before them. My aim is to bring recognition to these unseen heroines of South African Jazz through putting together a special performance that will feature all original compositions by a few pivotal voices that have made a lasting impact on the industry.
