Tumi Mogorosi Interview on Kofifi FM 97.2 - 17 July 2022

Loading player...
Group Theory: Black Music is a stunning new statement from South African drummer and composer Tumi Mogorosi. Standing in the lineage of South African greats such as Louis Moholo-Moholo, Makaya Ntshoko and Ayanda Sikade.

It is Mogorosi’s first project as leader since 2014, Group Theory: Black Music marks a return to the drummer’s musical roots.

This time the sound is anchored in the transnational tradition of Great Black Music, with the core of the group comprising a quintet of newcomers Tumi Pheko (trumpet) and Dalisu Ndlazi (bass) alongside the experienced guitarist Reza Khota, with Mogorosi himself and altoist Mthunzi Mvubu.
