Vocalist performs at jazz centre

THE Centre for Jazz and Popular Music presents Durban vocalist Nicky Shange on Wednesday, 26 February at 6pm.

When featured by the group Shana at the Bat Centre, Nicky was spotted by the late legend Mam Busi Mhlongo. Mhlongo was so impressed and asked the young student who was studying music at Natal Technikon if she was willing to work with her as a backing vocalist, an offer she could not refuse.
