Last night in Soweto, Johannesburg, Tutu Puoane and her album Wrapped In Rhythm, Vol. I won 3 South African Jazz Awards.
🏆 Best Contemporary Jazz Album
🏆 Best International Jazz Album
🏆 Best Female Jazz Artist.
We are very happy with and proud of this recognition of her people in her home country. Big thanks to the jury and to the organisation for specifically dedicating the attention to music that doesn’t always have the eye of the world. It means a lot and it makes a difference.
The Wrapped In Rhythm-journey continues. Volume II of the project is scheduled to be released in June 2025, and is an orchestral coöperation with Metropole Orkest, directed by Jacomo Bairos and arranged by Bert Joris. More news about this 2nd part will follow in due time!
Thanks to all of you who support Tutu and her music in one way or another!
