Bokani Dyer and Gareth Lockrane present a tribute to a giant in the legacy of South African music. In the last years of his life, Bheki Mseleku worked with a band in the UK featuring virtuoso flautist Gareth Lockrane, who doubled as band coordinator tasked with notating the compositions they would perform.
At the time of Mseleku’s passing, Lockrane had built up a sizeable collection of compositions by Mseleku that never got to be recorded. In the years since, Lockrane has staged a few shows in the UK in tribute to Mseleku, performing these unreleased works.
For the first time, these songs will be performed in South Africa, the country of Mseleku’s birth.
