Jazz trio performs in Durban
Ildo Nandja will perform with his band at The Jazzy Rainbow.
THE Ildo Nandja Trio will perform at The Jazzy Rainbow in Durban’s Morningside on Friday 7 July from 7pm.
The trio comprises Ildo Nandja on upright bass and vocals, Neil Gonsalves on piano and Sibusiso Zondi on drums.
Ildo Nandja is a double bassist, composer and educator from Mozambique. He is currently based in Durban where he has been studying and working. From a young age he engaged with playing music, starting with percussion instruments. Through his involvement in a local music and dance company, Ildo began playing the timbala, a traditional xylophone. His dedication led him to perform at festivals and events across Africa and Europe. Now recognised as an outstanding and disciplined jazz musician, bass player and soloist, Ildo has collaborated with countless international and local musicians across Southern Africa and abroad.
The audience should expect a concert that tells a story more like a painting. Ildo is exploring and trying new sounds allowing his band members to fully participate in the process. The result is a combination that produces and portrays his musical ideologies and experimentations.
The Jazzy Rainbow is at 93 Smiso Nkwanyana (Goble) Road, Morningside.
Tickets are R70, including a free drink. To book, contact 031 303 8398 or email: jazzyrainbow@mweb.co.za.
