Thabani Gapara: DZINDZA
Award-nominated saxophonist and composer Thabani Gapara brings his electric live show Dzindza to Wellington.
Recently nominated for Best Jazz Album at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards, Dzindza is Thabani’s tribute to his Southern African roots. It’s where Afrobeat, Highlife, Mbaqanga, and Mbira meet the soul of the African diaspora—funk, Zouk, and beyond. Backed by a high-energy band, Thabani delivers a performance that’s bold, heartfelt, and impossible to sit still through.
This show is a celebration of heritage, groove, and connection. Led by the unmistakable voice of Thabani’s saxophone and storytelling.
