The two emerging performing artists born and raised in Sharpeville are displaying great potential towards mainstream standard in the music sector. Being born by artistic parents they have been exposed to art from when they were still infants and have performed as toddlers till now. In this, their journey, they have rubbed artistic shoulders with established artists in theatre, dance and music respectably.
They have performed at venues such as Civic Theatre Vereeniging, Joburg Theatre, The Market Theatre, Eldorado Arts and Culture Community Centre, Sharpeville Community Hall, Rammolao Makhene Theatre (Market Theatre Laboratory), Wits Theatre, at the Khaya Theatre Festival and the Grahamstown Arts Festival. The two performers are the ‘triplethreat’ of their own accolade with Iza-Nkululeko being an actor, tap-dancer and hip-hop musician, and Iva-Nyaniso being an actor, fine artist and a musician guitarist under the tutelage of maestro instrumentalist Bheki Khoza. Iva-Nyaniso has shared a stage with Oupa Mlangeni and Buti Tsotetsi at @IVA-Home Theatre, Banda Banda at The Orbit-Live Music & Bistro, Asanda Mvana Msaki and Lerato at Iketleng Jazz Club. The Sharpeville musicians they are paying homage to are amongst the others; Vernon Mgababa Molefe, Nnana Coyote Motitjoana, Phillip Mafiki Marokoane, the late members of Sharptown Swingsters, Bra Tsoakae Ngale, Sonnyboy Melodi Modisakeng, Bongani ‘Jazzman’ Majola and Thami Sobukwe.
The music bands include The Beavers, The Hurricanes, The Black Five, The Brights, The Iron Doors and those who did not make it to the music industry charts. The music show is for families, friends and music lovers. Booking is essential due to intimate limited seats. For more information and bookings call 084 282 9160.
