Routes of Discovery Hamilton de Holanda + Nduduzo Makhathini
The Brazilian Hamilton de Holanda and the South African Nduduzo Makhathini live on different sides of the Atlantic, but are connected through the diaspora created during slavery times. These virtuosos were introduced to each other by jazz maestro Wynton Marsalis. Despite the pandemic and thanks to the internet, they developed a suite with obvious Brazilian and South-African roots, influenced by classical music, jazz and hip-hop. Come and join the party at Bimhuis.
