A true icon, the late Sipho Gumede was an innovative and diverse
performer. Winning acclaim for marrying jazz with traditional rhythms,
he always defied categorisation. Gumede also mixed rich musical colours
into the music he made with Sakhile, a band he formed in 1981. Gumede’s
1992 album, Thank You for Listening, received an OKTV award as the Best
African Fusion Album, confirming his status as one of the premier
musicians on the continent.
Other career highlights include work with Dollar Brand, Timmy Thomas,
Winston Mankunku Harare, Kippie Moeketsie, Mango Groove and Vicky
Sampson. In 1995, Gumede was presented with a lifetime achievement
award for his valuable contribution to South African music.
