Bheki Khoza and Mbuso Khoza Live on Stage.

There’s nothing more unifying than sharing a surname to sharing a stage. The two Khoza’s, Mbuso and Bheki are set to appear together this November in Braamfontein for a once in a lifetime of many collaborations to follow. Read more details after the jump.

The Khoza clan will be aptly represented by singer Mbuso Khoza and guitarist Bheki Khoza in a rare, one off collaboration on the 8th November, 2013, @The Fringe, Joburg Theatre, Braamfontein. This is a rare sharing of storytelling through music. Bheki Khoza is an accomplished guitarist with many years of experience as a session musician, teacher and soloist. Mbuso Khoza is a relative newcomer, with a passion for music making and storytelling that is second to none. They will be joined on stage by the strong, emerging voice of Lindiwe Maxolo, as their special guest.

Ihobhu lomlilois a Zulu expression that refers to the spark that starts a fire. And this night promises to be one in which the Joburg skies will be set ablaze by the ancient voice of Mbuso Khoza and the emotive guitar of Bheki Khoza. His genre-defying voice and music separates Mbuso from his peers, with an ability to reach down to long gone memories. His sound is of this world yet reaches beyond this world.

Mbuso’s debut album “Zilindile” earned him a Metrofm award for Contemporary Jazz in 2012. He was recently seen at the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz Festival in August 2013. He has collaborated with bass supremo Carlo Mombelli, both in Johannesburg, as well as travelling with him to Switzerland, in September 2013. Mbuso’s star gets stronger and brighter as he navigates an increasingly busy schedule, both at home and abroad.

Bheki Khoza, master guitarist and a consummate storyteller himself, will accompany this gifted singer. Bheki’s sound fuses maskandi with blues and Jazz riffs with ease and comfort.

Audiences will be welcomed by the compelling voice of Lindiwe Maxolo, a young Jazz vocalist who’s range references the vocabulary of a seasoned scat master, as much as she calls on the traditional sounds of her native Xhosa people.

In Mbuso’s words “I’ll be doing songs from my album with my band, kanti futhi sizobe sihaya izingoma zakwa Khoza, amahubo nemivumo yakwa Khoza” (“…We shall be singing the traditional and family songs of the Khoza clan”).
