Thabani Gapara Presents Dzindza

Award-nominated saxophonist and composer Thabani Gapara presents Dzindza — a powerful celebration of African jazz fusion.
Nominated for Best Jazz Album at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards, Dzindza showcases Gapara’s deep connection to his Southern African heritage, blending the sounds of Afrobeat, Highlife, Mbaqanga, and Mbira with influences from across the African diaspora, including Zouk, funk, and soul. This dynamic live show features a high-energy band delivering rich musical storytelling, infectious grooves, and genre-defying improvisation. Dzindza is both a tribute to ancestral roots and a bold expression of contemporary African jazz.
