TUMI MOGOROSI

Multi award winning Tumi Mogorosi, is increasingly building a reputation in the South African jazz scene among the new crop of young jazz musicians and activists/ theorists of this interesting time. The young artist has refined his brush strokes alongside prominent South African jazz musicians who count – among trumpeter Feya Faku, the late saxophonist Zim Ngqawana, bassist Herbie Tsoaeli as well as pianist Andile Yenana to name a few.

Tumi Mogorosi ‘s recent project,  Group Theory: Black Music released July 8, 2022), is an outfit that explores musical motives and improvisation in and around form. The Fall, is the first single of this album. “Group Theory: Black Music is a bearing witness to violence and a meditation on liberation. How bearing witness to being Black in the world brushes one against a violent history of dispossession and dislocation. These Sonics sit in the hold of ship and meditate on absolute freedom from absolute violence. Black Music moving from the great beyond into the unknown and unthought.”
