Kujenga is an afrojazz band based in Cape Town, South Africa. The word kujenga – meaning “build” or “create” in KiSwahili - symbolises the band’s belief in their calling as musicians; to build and create meaningful experiences with every single listener.

The band consists of a four piece rhythm section featuring Owethu Ndwandwe on lead vocals and keys, twin brother Zwide Ndwandwe on bass, Thane Smith on electric guitar and Skhumbuzo Qamata on drums. The larger ensemble includes Bonga Mosola on trumpet, Matthew Rightford on tenor sax and Tamzyn Freeks on trombone.

After an electric debut onto the Joburg circuit, Bandleader, Bassist, Composer and Vocalist Zwide Ndwandwe joined us to introduce this young collective.
