"I appreciate and acknowledge the strides of women in leadership who have carried out change not only through words but also in their actions, like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Winnie Mandela, Sibongile Mazibuko, Zozibini Tunzi etc., these .women have stood tall by addressing issues that affect people's lives. I also have immense respect for the women who nourished our souls with beautiful sounds and melodies like Dorothy Masuka, Letta Mbuli, Mama Africa and Sibongile Khumalo. We have carried every word, and every sound and this will reflect in my performance.” Says Zoe the Seed.

Neil Gonsalves Trio

Neil Gonsalves is a composer, pianist, bandleader and music educator who has toured the world with his music. His latest album, Blessings and Blues is a trio recording that was released in April, 2021. Neil employs a trio+ concept, bringing additional musicians into the ensemble as and when the music requires, which is the case for this concert. Zoe and Thabo are regular associates of the trio and the ensemble last performed together before COVID. So, a celebratory concert with feel-good melodies and grooves, and lyrics that tend to social commentary is in store.
