His music paints vivid pictures of South African countryside’s and the lives of its people\, brought to life through enchanting vocals\, expressive guitar work\, and soul-stirring songwriting. \n\n\n\nAlthough best known for his guitar-driven performances\, Hloniphani’s first musical instrument was the drums\, which he began playing at home within his musical family in Catoridge\, eMkhambathini\, kwaXimba\, eNo.9. This early immersion in rhythm continues to shape his layered\, organic sound. \n\n\n\nHloniphaniArt’s career highlights include an international performance in New Orleans\, USA\, where he represented Nandi the Musical as a cultural ambassador\, as well as a cultural exchange trip to India\, performing in the theatre production Bayede Shaka. These experiences have enriched his artistry\, blending African musical traditions with global influences. \n\n\n\nAudiences can expect a powerful fusion of African folk and international country music\, woven together with poetic songwriting inspired by African heritage. This uplifting concert promises an intimate and soulful experience — a celebration of identity\, culture\, and self-love\, and the perfect pause from the rush of a Tuesday evening. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Details  \n\n\n\nTuesday\, 24 February 2026 \n\n\n\nDoors Open: 17:00 \n\n\n\nMusic Starts: 17:30 \n\n\n\nCentre for Jazz and Popular Music\, University of KwaZulu-Natal\, Howard College Campus Dennis Shepstone Building\, Level 2 \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAvailable online via Webtickets or cash at the door R130 (General)\, R100 (Pensioners)\, R70 (Students) \n\n\n\nThis is a concert not to be missed — a heartfelt musical journey celebrating the spirit of South Africa through sound and story.

SUMMARY:Prelude to CTIJF : Sibusiso Mashiloane’s Mash Trio Live at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music (UKZN)
DESCRIPTION:In the lead up to his performance at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival in March\, pianist and composer Sibusiso Mash Mashiloane returns to the stage with his long-time collaborators DalisuNdlazi (bass) and Riley Giandhari (drums) for a performance as the Mash Trio at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music\, UKZN on 18 February 2026. \n\n\n\nRooted in rich African sonic traditions and guided by the trio’s musical connection\, Mash Trio’s live set moves between soulfulness\, groove\, and improvisation. The evening will draw from Mashiloane’s most loved compositions spanning 2016 to 2025\, alongside spontaneous moments that can only happen in real time. All shaped by home\, memory\, and the quiet power of shared experience. \n\n\n\n“Our chemistry is the kind that can’t be manufactured. It’s built over years of listening\, really listening\, to each other. Expect special guests\, surprises\, and a sound experience that celebrates the heartbeat of the people.” says Sibusiso Mash Mashiloane. He adds: “If you’ve seen Mash Trio before\, you already know: we aim to leave people with a feeling they can’t quite name\, but they’d want it again.” \n\n\n\nAt the centre of Mash Trio is Dr Sibusiso Mashiloane\, a pianist\, composer and UKZN Academic\, whose work bridges scholarship and performance. Mashilaone is a senior lecturer at UKZN who holds a PhD in Music with research that explores South African Jazz identity and the cultural “sound of home” that shapes contemporary expression. \n\n\n\nMashiloane is joined by two of South Africa’s most in-demand collaborators: bassist Dalisu Ndlazi\,whose tone and musical sensitivity have made him a trusted anchor across contemporary jazz stages. Ndlazi’s musical foundations were shaped in Umlazi\, where his journey began at the Siyakhula Community Development Centre. He was selected as National Schools Big Band bassist at the Standard Bank Youth Jazz Festival (2012)\, later serving as national youth band bassist from 2015\, and in 2019 attended the Louis Armstrong Summer Camp in New Orleans – a milestone that reflects his rising profile on the South African jazz circuit. \n\n\n\nRiley Giandhari (Riley G) is a Durban-based drummer\, composer and producer who began playing at age three\, inspired by his father\, drummer Pravin Giandhari. He studied jazz at UKZN and holds a Master’s in Music (Summa Cum Laude)\, alongside accolades including two SAMRO Overseas Scholarship awards (2018)and Mzansi Jazz Awards nominations (2020)for his artistry and debut album. \n\n\n\nAs the CTIJF sheds light on artists in their hometowns with activations through Durban and Johannesburg\, this event is set to be a powerful prelude to the beloved festival. \n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\n\n\nEvent: Sibusiso Mashiloane – Mash Trio LiveDate: 18 February 2026Time: 17:30Venue: Centre for Jazz and Popular Music\, UKZN (Durban) \n\n\n\nUniversity of Kwa-Zulu Natal\, Howard College Campus\, Dennis Shepstone Building\, Level 2Tickets: R70 – R130Bookings: Via Webtickets: https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1586170476 \n\n\n\nPics by Simanga Konstant Zondo
