Thandiswa Mazwai - Tuesday 08 June 2010 at 8:00pm

From the very beginning, Thandiswa Mazwai has always managed to be at the forefront of change. Born in the rural homeland of Transkei, she grew up in Soweto during the '80s, as part of the "Soweto generation," who witnessed the violent dismantling of apartheid and the growth of a free South Africa. The daughter of jour...nalists, she was constantly surrounded by banned books, writing, and political discourse. This would eventually prove to be an important element in the singer's songwriting and political awareness....Read More

Tu Nokwe - Tuesday 08 June 2010 at 8:00pm

Tu means you in French you know” says Tu Nokwe. And if you didn’t know better you’d be forgiven for thinking Nokwe means music in Xhosa. It doesn’t, but in a sense it does. The Nokwe’s, as it has been said before, are the Jackson 5s of South Africa. The family is comprised of six family members that have made music for... most of their lives. They are Alfred & Patty, Marilyn, Papi, Ptoto and Tu. There is no messing with their makeup and density, as it is obvious on Tu Nokwe's solo career.....Read More

Sechaba - Saturday, July 3, 2010 at 8:00pm

Born in the Free State, Sechaba grew up singing but never took music seriously, even while singing and playing the keyboard in church. He was barely out of his teens when he sold his phone for money for a taxi and left his home town to find a job in Johannesburg, to help support his family.

Discovering that jobs were no...t easier to come across in Johannesburg, Sechaba was ultimately forced to live on the streets, with no money to return home. He turned to living under a bridge in Balfour Park where some other people were already living. He and his new acquaintances would often sing together in the cold night to comfort themselves....
