Nomfundo Xaluva

Join us at Sankayi for two nights of live music with multi-award-winning jazz vocalist, composer and educator Nomfundo Xaluva, on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November 2026.

Nomfundo is one of South Africa’s distinctive jazz voices, combining her work as a performer and composer with a strong commitment to music education. She holds a Master’s degree in Jazz Studies from the University of Cape Town, where her research focused on Miriam Makeba, and an Executive MBA from Henley Business School.

Her musical journey includes performances at major festivals such as the Cape Town International Jazz Festival and Joy of Jazz. In 2025, she released her third album, Ndilapha, which received critical praise and award nominations.

Experience Nomfundo’s music in the intimate setting of Sankayi, where the musicians and audience share a close connection and the music takes centre stage.
