The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music proudly presents Linda Tshabalala Kgorong Tour on Wednesday 23 July 2025 at 17:30.

Saxophonist Linda Tshabalala is back in the music scene after a three-year hiatus to focus personal commitments. The Kgorong tour aims to reintroduce Tshabalala to a greater audience and followers of her music, since having taken a break. “I’m also taking the opportunity to share with the younger generation by paying it forward as was done for me by some of the elders of our music.

Expect music from her album Convergence Bekezela Siyeza (2021) which contains classic songs like Kunzima Madoda, which talks about the ebbs and flows of life and their toll on our spirits, but the energy of the song reminds us that there’s always a way out because of hope. Vusamazulu Sanusi; which is an omage to the late great powerful bab’ Credo Mutwa, and new music containing unreleased songs.
