Award winning jazz muso busking session at The Workshop
Mashiloane’s objective for his band’s busking session is to expose his brand of music to the general public, who would normally not have an opportunity of witnessing live jazz music.
THE 2017 Mzantsi Jazz Award winner Sibusiso Mash Mashiloane will perform live with his 3 men band dubbed “Mash Trio”, comprising of Sibusiso Mash Mashiloane on piano, Dalisu Ndlazi on bass and Riley on drums at The Workshop, Durban on Sunday from noon to 2.30pm.
Mashiloane has 2 recordings under his belt, his debut album Amanz’Olwandle, and his most recent recording Rotha.

He is popular for his open ended and adaptive kind of contemporary and traditional jazz which draws inspiration from soul, gospel, lounge and tribal sounds.
Despite this band comprising of accomplished professional musicians and the band leader Mashiloane being a music academic who lectures music at the University of KZN and at Durban Music School, he has taken a conscious decision of bringing his music to the people under the motto “taking music to the streets”.
This kind of music performance is known as “busking” where performers perform at open spaces for the public in return for voluntary appreciation donations.

However, Mashiloane’s objective for his band’s busking session is to expose his brand of music to the general public, who would normally not have an opportunity of witnessing live jazz music.
Through this project, Mashiloane hopes to inspire young people who may consider taking music up as their profession, he also intends contributing in developing new jazz music audiences, and most importantly hopes his music will bring hope, a smile and positivity to everyone who will witness his performance.
