A rare spiritual offering from one of South Africa’s jazz greatsAffectionately known as “Malume”, Herbie Tsoaeli — the legendary bassist, composer, and 2013 South African Music Award winner for Best Jazz Album — returns to the stage for a rare and intimate performance at Untitled Basement.
Born in Nyanga East, Cape Town, a township known for its fierce political legacy and rich jazz heritage, Herbie’s sound is deeply rooted in his lived experiences. His music is a soulful, nuanced expression of the black South African experience — a celebration and a meditation.
Herbie describes his music as “Jazz Moya” — jazz of the spirit. It’s music that transcends genre and borders, drawing from ancestral memory and urban life, from the spiritual to the sonic. Over the years, he has shared the stage with icons like Abdullah Ibrahim, Zim Ngqawana, Bheki Mseleku, Louis Moholo, and Winston Mankunku Ngozi — cementing his place among the giants of South African jazz. This performance at Untitled Basement is more than a concert — it’s a sacred gathering. Acommunion. A moment in time.Don’t miss the opportunity to experience Malume Herbie Tsoaeli and his “Jazz Moya” live.
