SIKELELA – The road to the Barbican (No under 18s)

Sikelela celebrates a tradition of Ingoma as a practice in the intimate exercise of liberation in action. The line-up is curated by The Brother Moves On’s Siyabonga Mthembu and pianist, composer, singer Thandi Ntuli, bringing together a stellar line up including Thandi Ntuli, Keenan Meyer & Muneyi and The Brother Moves On.

Taking the cue from the word Sikelela meaning “blessing” – from the first phrase in the South African national anthem – this event celebrates a tradition of Ingoma as a practice in the intimate exercise of liberation in action. This special concert invites the visionaries from the current scene which is referred to as the avant-garde of the Jazz and live music scene from South Africa.
