Black Child with Viwe Mkizwana on The K Jazz Show

Loading player...
on The K Jazz Show, and today we tune into the rhythm of resilience, the sound of soul, and the voice of a nation — all wrapped in one mighty bassline.

Joining us live from Russia is a multi-award-winning composer, producer, and bassist whose musical passport has stamped some of the world’s finest stages — from Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw to the King’s Castle in Sweden.

He’s orchestrated for the BBC Proms, worked with legends like Hugh Masekela, McCoy Mrubata, Zoe Modiga, and Wouter Kellerman, and scooped Naledi and Mzantsi Jazz Awards along the way.

His third album Black Child is on the horizon — and it’s more than music, it’s a message.
