DESCRIPTION:Nduduzo Makhathini grew up in the lush and rugged hillscapes of
  umGungundlovu in South Africa\, a peri-urban landscape in which music and
  ritual practices were symbiotically linked. The area is significant histo
 rically as the site of the Zulu king Dingane kingdom between 1828 and 1840
 . It’s important to note that the Zulu\, in fact the African warrior cod
 e\, is deeply reliant on music for motivation and healing. This deeply emb
 edded symbiosis is key to understanding Makhathini’s vision.\n\nIn addit
 ion to producing albums for his peers (such as Thandiswa Mazwai’s Belede
  and Tumi Mogorosi’s Project Elo)\, Makhathini has released eight albums
  of his own since 2014 when he founded the label Gundu Entertainment in pa
 rtnership with his wife and vocalist Omagugu Makhathini. Those albums earn
 ed him multiple awards and include Sketches of Tomorrow (2014)\, Mother To
 ngue (2014)\, Listening to the Ground (2015)\, Matunda Ya Kwanza (2015)\; 
 Icilongo: The African Peace Suite (2016)\, Inner Dimensions (2016)\, and R
 eflections (2016). His 2017 album Ikhambi was the first to be released on 
 Universal Music South Africa and won Best Jazz Album at the South African 
 Music Awards (SAMA) in 2018. His Blue Note debut Modes of Communication: L
 etters from the Underworlds was named one of the “Best Jazz Albums of 20
 20” by The New York Times\, and was followed by In the Spirit of Ntu in 
 2022.\n\nNduduzo and His Quartet visit Oberlin for an Inspiring masterclas
 s and concert sponsored by the Oberlin Jazz Society. \n\nMasterclass at Bi
 bbins hall 238\, 1 PM.
