The Centre for Jazz and Popular Music proudly presents Durban musician Lu Dlamini as she performs music from her latest album ‘Gido’ - a Love Letter to Resilience on Wednesday 13 August 2025 at 17:30.

South African composer, vocalist, and traditional instrumentalist Lu Dlamini launched her brand new album Gido, at The Playhouse Company in June 2025. The album is a tribute to Lu’s late mother, Kitomena “Gido” uMakhuzwayo. Her mother’s life lessons are the spiritual backbone of this project.

The album encompasses South African jazz influences blended with sounds of indigenous instruments like the Umakhweyana Bow. This deeply moving album transcends music to become a living archive of love, resilience, and the enduring philosophy of Ubuntu. The album journeys through untold stories and histories, from songs that honour the resilience of South Africa’s “lost generation,” to spiritual invocations calling for peace, unity, and the healing of old wounds. Songs like Lwaphela uvalo and Gandhi Shembe Dube remind us that history is not a burden, but a bridge, connecting us to a future shaped by compassion and understanding.

The album has collaborations with some of South Africa’s finest musical talents, such as Dr. Madala Kunene, Steve Newman, Andile Yenana, and Qadasi, as well as her core band that will be joining her Wednesday: Marius Botha, Riley Giandhari, Zibusiso Makhathini and Ntobeko Shandu.
