Pianist and scholar Nduduzo Makhathini has emerged as one of the spiritual pioneers among South Africa’s new wave of talents, quickly gaining international recognition. In his latest project, he blends his jazz trio with cello, voice, trumpet, and harp to create a profound exploration of existence—what he calls ‘ntu’—and a call to rediscover what humanity has forgotten. Amidst the constant shadows of violence and loss, Makhathini centres his work on forgiveness as a transformative path forward. Each instrument carries its own symbolic weight: the voice is a call, the strings (cello and double bass) a lament, the piano represents diversity and collaboration, the trumpet is a scream, an urgent plea for action, and the drums embody the diviners and a hopeful future. With this composition, Makhathini masterfully fuses musical innovation with deep emotional expression—creating a work that speaks to the heart of our times.
