The oratorio of a forgotten youth with Mandla Mlangeni on The K Jazz Show

This Sunday on The K Jazz Show, we welcome back a powerhouse of South African jazz—a trumpeter, composer, and bandleader who plays with the fire of revolution and the grace of heritage.

From the Johannesburg streets to global stages, his sound is as fearless as it is fluid. He’s the force behind unforgettable projects like Bhekisizwe, Born to Be Black, and Oratorio of a Forgotten Youth—and he's not done shaking the jazz world.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the ever-evolving, always electrifying, Mandla Mlangeni!
