South Africa, get ready to be hit by the Hlulani Hlangwane bug
that will make you forget that the world is in recession and give you hope for
a more rewarding future!
Hlulani is a breathtakingly amazing singer.
Her tone places her squarely in the field of jazz divas and her Tsonga heritage
gives her a creative and competitive edge.
Currently, the South African
economy isn’t doing great and there is a sentiment that the music industry is
more volatile than ever. Even more disturbing is that there is an oversupply of
musicians but a massive shortage in music managers. However, Kgomotso le Roux
from IKS Consulting & Promotions www.iksconsulting.co.za,
although she had already been managing Tlale Makhene, Iggy and the Sibikwa Arts
Indigenous Orchestra, could not ignore Hlulani’s talent and decided that the
world needs to hear this lady, “she raises the bar in South African jazz
performance. “, Kgomotso would say.
2008
was a milestone in Hlulani’s career as she was selected best vocalist of the
year by the Standard Bank National Youth Jazz Band for the year. Returning from her three month Vietnam tour in 2009, she has
performed with the likes of Herbie Tsoaeli, Ayanda Sikade, Lucas Senyatso,
Mlungisi Gegana, Feya Faku, RnB American singer Joe, The Spinners, Judith
Sephuma, Jimmy Dludlu, Hugh Masekela and Themba Mkhize.
Hlulani has been growing from strength the strength ever since.
