Women have played such an integral part in the jazz industry and much in the liberation struggle through the voices of the likes of Mariam Makeba, Dolly Rathebe, Thandy Klaasen among many others.

This is in celebration of masupa tsela "pathfinders" who have and continue to shine the way for younger female jazz artists.

Themes go from friendship, love, spirituality, land and other lighter matters. It was important for me to include Mam'Sylivia Mdungelwa who was the very first SA musician to be signed by Blue Notes. (Nduduzo is not the first).

Included on the playlist is: Zoe Modiga, Siya Makhuzeni, Dolly Rathebe, Dorothy Masuka, Lindiwe Maxolo, Thandy Ntuli, Sibongile Khumalo, Khonaye among an array of amazing women.

Enjoy!
