SUMMARY:Twosday Kunene Legacy Performance for Africa Month 2026
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Madala Kunene Unveils New Vocal Collaboration and Cross-Cultural “Twosday” Performance for Africa Month 2026 \n\n\n\nDurban\, South Africa — April 2026 \n\n\n\nCelebrated guitarist and cultural icon Dr. Madala Kunene\, widely known as the “King of Zulu Guitar\,” will mark Africa Month this May with a powerful new artistic direction—introducing his daughters as backing vocalists while headlining a special “Twosday” collaborative concert on 5 May 2026. \n\n\n\nThis performance signals a significant evolution in Dr. Kunene’s live presentation. After many years of performing without active vocalists on stage\, he now welcomes a new vocal dimension through his daughters—Melody Kunene\, Nontombi Kunene\, and Sinothile Kunene—whose harmonies promise to bring a rich\, fresh texture to his music. \n\n\n\nThe full ensemble for the performance includes: \n\n\n\nBand: \n\n\n\n\nDr. Madala Kunene – Guitar\n\n\n\nBernard Mndaweni – Bass Guitar\n\n\n\nVishen Kemraj – Tabla\n\n\n\nSthembiso Ntuli – Saxophone\n\n\n\n\nVocals: \n\n\n\n\nMelody Kunene\n\n\n\nNontombi Kunene\n\n\n\nSinothile Kunene\n\n\n\n\nAt the heart of the 5 May concert is the innovative “Twosday” concept—an exciting musical platform designed to bring together artists who are well-established in their respective styles\, encouraging collaboration beyond their usual creative boundaries. While the name suggests a pairing\, “Twosday” also represents the meeting of musical traditions and ideas\, often expanding to include a broader ensemble. \n\n\n\nThe initiative aims to foster experimentation\, learning\, and the creation of new work that transcends familiar stylistic comfort zones. By cultivating a space where musicians can explore the edges of their performance and composition practices\, “Twosday” promotes a vibrant cross-cultural dialogue rooted in Durban’s rich and diverse musical landscape. \n\n\n\nA highlight of this collaboration is the pairing of Dr. Kunene’s distinctive Zulu guitar style with Vishen Kemraj’s mastery of the tabla\, a classical Indian instrument. Together\, they create a compelling fusion that bridges African and Indian musical traditions—an embodiment of the “Twosday” ethos. \n\n\n\nWith Durban home to an exceptional pool of talented and culturally diverse musicians\, there are strong ambitions to establish “Twosday” as an ongoing concert series\, building on the success of existing initiatives such as the popular weekly Trios series held every Wednesday. Ultimately\, the concept offers musicians a valuable opportunity to expand creatively\, exchange knowledge\, and celebrate a shared musical language. \n\n\n\n“This collaboration is about growth\, connection\, and discovery\,” says Dr. Kunene. “It’s about stepping into new spaces musically and bringing audiences along for that journey.” \n\n\n\nAudiences can expect an unforgettable evening of genre-defying music\, heartfelt storytelling\, and dynamic interplay between generations and cultures. https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1593599166 \n\n\n\n\nEvent details: \n\n\n\nTwosday: The Kunene legacy \n\n\n\nTuesday 05 May 2026 \n\n\n\ndoors open at 17:00 \n\n\n\nMusic at 17:30 \n\n\n\nCentre for Jazz and Popular Music \n\n\n\nTickets at Webtickets: https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1593599166  \n\n\n\nMedia Contact:Thulile Zama \n\n\n\nZamat1@ukzn.ac.za \n\n\n\n\nCash at the door R130\, pensioners R100\, students R70
