The Celebrating the Music of BJP Tyamzashe 1890 - 1978 tribute is the brainchild of Nomalanga Tyamzashe. It will bring the critical issue of sound preservation to the attention of the public and help towards the preservation of recorded sound.
This event will introduce Harmonica Jazz Foundation, a woman-owned and managed promotions company. Appropriately, its mission is to preserve South African music and its heritage through live performance and showcase.
Affectionately known as B-ka-T, Benjamin Tyamzashe’s composition Zweliyaduduma came at the peak of his music career. The song was presented by a mass choir combination of 3 000 voices, conducted by B-ka-T himself, to entertain the British royal family during a stopover in Umtata while they were visiting South Africa in 1947.
Prince Lengoasa’s conducting skills and big band directorship come up once again for challenge when he fuses the talents of classical, jazz and choral musicians who will be accompanied by a star-studded band.
