Ola Onabulé on The K Jazz Show

Loading player...
Some artists leave us humming a melody. Others leave us thinking long after the music has ended.

Our next guest has spent decades doing both. With a voice of rare depth and unmistakable elegance, he has carried stories of identity, humanity and hope onto some of the world's most prestigious stages, becoming one of contemporary jazz's most compelling vocalists.

Ahead of his return to Johannesburg for the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz 2026, it is a real privilege to welcome a true gentleman of song to The K Jazz Show.

Please welcome the remarkable Ola Onabulé.
