About
African Kings presents Linda Sikhakhane @ Jazz Sundays.
Linda Sikhakhane’s SA/Swiss Celebration Group stems from his latest album release
‘Isambulo’. This collaboration was realised when Sikhakhane was ‘Artist In Residency’ in
Switzerland under Pro Helvetia’s program back in 2021, where he explored the notions of
revelation in the midst of uncertainty and what it means for sound to be a vehicle that
enables us to travel beyond our human imagination.
“Revelation through sounds is a disclosure of sacred realities and a continuous process for
discovery”. This tour serves as a celebration pursuit as they reflect on some of the findings
and gifts the sound has brought to the fore. Recently named the Standard Bank Young Artist
for Jazz, Sikhakhane kickstarts the year with a stellar line up featuring Swiss musicians;
Lucca Fries(piano) , Jonas Ruther(drums), French bassist Géraud Portal, South African
vocalist and oldtime friend Paras.
