Matshidiso on The K Jazz Show

Loading player...
This Sunday we welcome an artist who lives beautifully in the in-between —that luminous grey space where jazz, soul, folk, poetry and memory weave themselves into something entirely her own.
London–Johannesburg–Paris based singer, pianist and storyteller Matshidiso Mohajane joins us fresh on the show, carrying with her a new body of work that feels at once intimate, brave and borderless.
Her new album, IDKL — I Didn’t Know Love, is a genre-blending tapestry of truth, tenderness and radical honesty
Matshidiso is one of those rare boundary-pushers who honours the improvisational fire of jazz while stepping boldly into new sonic frontiers.
