lindelo sax

Lindelo Mangesi was born in the beautiful coastal town of Mossel Bay but spent most of his childhood in Gugulethu, Cape Town. It is here where he found a deep love for classical music as his foundation and only later decided to veer into the genre of jazz with saxophone as his primary instrument. With a natural aptitude for music, he quickly developed this skill into a fine and polished art, receiving praise and respect from peers and clients in the South African music and events scene.
 
Some career highlights include receiving master classes from the late Hugh Masekela, doing session work for prolific artists such as Mobi Dixon, DJ Shimza, rapper Okmalumkoolkat & Cassper Nyovest, and performing with many bands such as the Anneli Kamfer Band, Sport Band & The Chosen Band. In his career performing with many different entities in the industry, Lindelo has travelled to La Reunion Island and partook in festivals such as the Durban July, Up The Creek Festival, Pre-International Jazz Festival, and Grahamstown Festival, to name a few.
 
With a heart for upliftment and community, in his spare time Lindelo teaches music to young aspiring musicians from disadvantaged backgrounds.
 
Lindelo performs on a tenor saxophone and can perform in many different genres depending on the atmosphere and context of each event. Clients can look forward to solo sax performances in either jazz, pop, or contemporary expressions.
