More on Kwani Experience....

Winners of the STANDARD BANK/ KAYA fm 95.9 “Totally Jazzed” showcase from late last year, the band sees its first CD release after two years of live performances around the nation. On winning the competition the group hosted a gig at the HORROR CAFÉ in Newtown that saw attendance of over 700 people!

The KWANI EXPERIENCE educates, elevates and entertains both young and the old The main genres identifiable in the music are: African Folk, Contemporary African, Hip-Hop, Soul, Jazz, Experimental Jazz (Drum & Bass) and Funk. “The motherland funk is something that you’ve heard before, what you are still to hear, somehowfamiliar but yet like nothing that you’ve heard in these times”, articulate the members of KWANI EXPERIENCE.

The members have in their individual capacities performed, partaken and “paid dues” in the ‘underground’ of the music bizz as well as established and well-developed theatre and musical productions. The band was formed in January 2004 and has since then performed at a number of venues in and around Johannesburg and Durban to resounding responses and reviews. On stage, KWANI EXPERIENCE is both visually and musically interactive, blending rehearsed, spontaneous and improvised impromptu acts. Artistic self-expression is not a thing limited to performances or the rehearsal room with KWANI; it’s a daily EXPERIENCE.

The band has had thumbs-up and a go-ahead into the future by peer, legendary and veteran musicians, radio personalities and record execs. Among them: Tu Nokwe, Selaelo Selota, Tshepo Tshola, Paulo Chibanga [340 ml.], Bheki Mseleku, Vusi Khumalo, Concord Nkabinde, Bruce Sebitlo [Kalawa Jazmee] & Guffy, Thabo Mashishi, Sanza [Harambe- Y FM], Pat Cash [Kaya FM] & Bob Mabena, Mandla Mlotswa [Music lecturer- Natal Technikon] and Robert Trunz [M.E.L.T. 2000].

Currently the band is signed under SHEER SOUND, a result of the 2004 Totally Jazzed Showcase, a contest partnered by Sheer Sound, Kaya FM 95.9 and Standard Bank. The collective were the ultimate winners, selected for their innovation, fresh ideas and concepts.
