The Brother Moves On
Thursday10 November 2022

Brother Moves On is arts collective originally based in Johannesburg which has included increasingly more musicians. The performances are explosive, socially conscious and full of poetry and spoken word. Vocalist Siyabonga Mthembu has collaborated on the successful album Wisdom of Elders by Shabaka & The Ancestors.

‘The Brother’s sound is a tradition-trouncing trans-Atlantic Afro-centric futuristically ancient fusion that jackknifes between offworld spectral dub-metal, hyperrhythmic rock psychedelia, indie-township and astro-afro-free-jazz. Taking a cue from that other “Brother From Another Planet” Sun Ra, they embrace a multi-genre, multimedia aesthetic’ (Pan African Space Station).

Siyabonga Mthembu vocals, Mthunzi Mvubu alto sax/flute, Muhammad Dawjee tenor sax, Zelizwe Mthembu guitar, Ayanda Zalekile bass, Simphiwe Tshabalala drums

Celebrating jazz since 1974
