City Winery Philadelphia presents WRTI Concert Series - Hamilton De Holanda & Nduduzo Makhithini - Routes of Discovery
live on Monday February 27th at 7:30 PM.
Routes of Discovery is an original project, an exploration of the musical diaspora from the slave trade to the present day created by two world-class musical icons, Hamilton de Holanda of Brazil and Nduduzo Makhathini of South Africa. Introduced to each other by Wynton Marsalis, these master musicians, thanks to the Internet's connectivity, created a musical bridge across the Atlantic as an antidote to the racial and cultural divisions that are all too common in the world today.
Each musician brings the DNA of their culture to the quest. From America`s side, we have the multi-award-winning improviser, mandolin virtuoso, and composer Hamilton de Holanda, 2022 latin grammy winner. His music, like his ancestral heritage, has roots in the culture of the black slaves who came to work in the sugar plantations of Pernambuco, the eastern Brazilian state that reaches towards Africa. On the African side, we have the critically acclaimed pianist and composer Nduduzo Makhathini, the first South African Jazz musician signed by the prestigious Blue Note label. His Zulu roots found expression in South African churches and inspiration from John Coltrane and McCoy Tyner.
