Catch young jazz talents Iza Ngoma live in Hammarsdale
The concert will take place at Seaman's Corner on Saturday, 31 March.
SUPPORT Music Business, in association with Concerts SA and Seaman’s Corner, presents Iza Ngoma live in Hammarsdale on Saturday, 31 March.
The concert will take place at Seaman’s Corner; doors open at 7pm and entrance is R30.
The band formed in late 2016 when three UKZN music students, bassist Charles Mdakane, trumpet player Phuti Mofokeng and pianist Sibusiso Shabalala gravitated towards each other, with a common interest and resonance in musical preferences.
The three spent time in the practice rooms for hours unravelling, jamming, immersing themselves in sound, mostly South African jazz.
They eventually decided to take their music to audiences and started performing on campus and realised the music resonated with the audience as much as it did with them.

The band is constantly exploring other colours in the music spectrum, besides jazz, which happens to be what they study academically.
The sound is a mix of African jazz, kwaito and dance music, with thought-Provoking lyrics in isiZulu, Sesotho and English.
In the band stand will be Hlubi Vakalisa Jele on saxophone, Phuti Mofokeng on trumpet, Sibusiso Shabalala on piano and vocals, Charles Mdakane on bass guitar and Zolani Rafuza on drums.
This concert is part of the Concerts SA Venue Circuit that aims to foster a love and support for live music in communities, as well as anchor small and medium sized venues in urban and rural Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape.
