Hailing from the rich cultural landscape of umGungundlovu, Nduduzo Makhathini‘s music seamlessly blends the spiritual and ritualistic traditions of his homeland with the profound influences of South African jazz legends like Bheki Mseleku, Moses Molelekwa, and Abdullah Ibrahim.

Makhathini’s unique style is deeply rooted in the emotive power of jazz, drawing inspiration from both his African heritage and the works of American jazz icons such as John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner. His performances are a captivating journey through sound, evoking the rhythms and melodies that have shaped his musical vision.
