Asher Gamedze
The South African drummer Asher Gamedze is creating furore in the world of jazz as well as pop, rock, hip-hop and soul. He plays with groups and artists such as Angel Bat Dawid & Tha Brothahood, Nduduzo Makhathini, Xhanti Nokwali, Manny Walters, and many others. Asher Gamedze likes to infuse his own music with elements from these diverse traditions. He is currently working on his third album, Turbulence and Pulse, which he will present at Flagey.
Tumi Mogorosi
Since his debut album Project Elo in 2014, and thanks to collaborations with Shabaka & the Ancestors, percussionist Tumi Mogorosi has been one of South Africa's most exciting creatives. He's now releasing his latest album Group Theory: Black Music: flexible and powerful music, as we get to expect from South Africa, all this in the polyrhythmic tradition of Elvin Jones, Max Roach and Art Blakey. This album received a four star rating (out of five) in The Guardian.
“Bombastic jazz rooted in radical thought “ - The Guardian, June 2022.
