WE GOT THE JAZZ feat. Sakhile Moleshe's Shapeshifting Trio
Thu Sep 20, 21:00 - Thu Sep 20, 23:00
UNTITLED BASEMENT
ABOUT
Anyone who has been alive in the 21st Century knows Sakhile Moleshe as the richly
charismatic voice of South African SAMA award winning electro duo Goldfish but that is just
one incarnation of a multi-faceted poet, composer and musician. Audiences fortunate enough
to get a rare chance to witness the Shapeshifting trio perform will witness a metamorphosis of
this diversely talented artist into an earlier, more complex form.
Sakhile presents the Shapeshifting Trio featuring Simphiwe Tshabalala on drums and Ayanda
Zalekile on Bass formed after his recent move to Johannesburg circa 2016. To mark his return
to the stage after a short self imposed hiatus from performing Sakhile returns to showcase his
skill on the keys in this new outfit whilst singing at the same time. The trio re-imagines, reinvents
and gives a sense of resurgence to a number of Sakhile’s original compositions
composed during his days as a student at the University of Cape Town. When one watches
the synergy between these three musicians one comes face to face with a colossal live
explosion of musical experiments and transmutations that have lay dormant for far too long.
The Shapeshifting trio is a chance to observe creative evolution occur, at close quarters, in
real time.
