The City of Roses with Thapelo Khumisi on The K Jazz Show

South Africa’s jazz story is a living archive, and each artist adds a new chapter to this ongoing melody.

Today on The K Jazz Show, as we open our Heritage Month series, I am truly delighted to be joined by a pianist whose music is both rooted and boundless, deeply African yet universally resonant.

He is internationally acclaimed, a winner of the Central Music Awards for jazz, and a nominee at the Mzansi Jazz Awards.

He has taken his music to the stages of Europe, India, and across our beloved South Africa — all while shaping the next generation through education and mentorship.
