Bio
Thembi Dunjana, a young jazz pianist, singer and teacher from Gugulethu, Cape Town who holds 2 Mzantsi jazz awards, as "best female in jazz" and "best jazz song" for her song from her debut album, "Intyatyambo". Most recently, she has released her 2nd album under AfricArise "God Bless iKapa. God Bless Mzantsi", an homage to her home city, Cape Town.
Thembi is also more recently known for her helpful jazz piano tutorials that she shares on youtube and has goals to create physical master classes to the younger generation in Cape Town and other provinces in South Africa and abroad.
