Some artists don’t simply release music but have lived and seen the South African Song book through its many cycles

Kabomo is one of those artists.

we’re incredibly excited to finally welcome Kabomo to Untitled Basement for what feels like a long-overdue Johannesburg encounter.

For audiences who have followed South African music and popular culture from the 90s through the early 2000s and beyond, Kabomo has been a familiar and distinctive presence. His work has moved across music, television, film, writing, publishing and culture, establishing him as one of South Africa’s most versatile and enduring creative voices.

A SAMA-winning musician, actor, writer, filmmaker, magazine editor and public speaker, Kabomo has never been confined to one creative discipline.

His musical journey has produced a dynamic catalogue that includes All Things Grey, Memory Remains, Sekusile, Unapologetic, All Things Red, and Smoke and Mirrors — records that capture different chapters of an artist who has continued to evolve while remaining unmistakably himself.

Many will also recognise him from television, with appearances in some of South Africa’s most familiar productions, including Generations, Rhythm City and Check Coast.

But perhaps what makes Kabomo’s journey so special is his longevity.

He has remained present across generations, continually finding new ways to create, collaborate and contribute. He is the kind of artist whose work sits comfortably between music and the wider South African cultural landscape.

This intimate performance is a journey thats shaped one of South Africa’s distinctive musical voices — from All Things Grey, through the SAMA-winning Memory Remains, to Sekusile and beyond.

Joining Kabomo on the evening will be Afrotraction and Brian Temba, with Zimi opening the show.

Expect two sets of approximately 45–60 minutes, with a 15-minute interval, in the intimate setting of Untitled Basement.

This is a reserved-seating experience only.

STANDARD BANK JOY OF JAZZ Ă— UNTITLED BASEMENT PRESENT

JAZZING AROUND: LIVE AT THE BASEMENT
TANK AND THE BANGAS

New Orleans is  meets Joburg . As an extension of Standard Bank Joy of Jazz we’re bringing the festival’s spirit beyond the main stage and into the city — creating another opportunity for the festival to stay connected and in touch with the wider jazz and live music community.

And we’re doing it with Tank and the Bangas In a few weeks, the New Orleans collective will be gracing the Conga Stage at Standard Bank Joy of Jazz and closing off their SA visit, we’re bringing them into the intimate surroundings of **Untitled Basement for a very different kind of encounter.

Tank and the Bangas have never been interested in fitting neatly into one musical category. Their sound moves freely between funk, soul, hip-hop, rock, jazz and spoken word, creating live performances that are energetic, unpredictable and completely their own.
The story feels especially fitting for the Basement. The group began in 2011 at an open mic night in New Orleans, where Tarriona “Tank” Ball and the musicians around her found a space to experiment, collaborate and build something together. Years later, they would win the NPR Tiny Desk Contest, earn Grammy recognition and become one of the most distinctive live acts to emerge from New Orleans.

From the Conga Stage to the Basement.

But their magic has always made sense in any room and to be able to also experience them up-close is special. Close enough to feel the music.Close enough to catch the unexpected.Close enough to know that tonight’s version will never happen quite the same way again.This is Jazzing Around: Live at the Basement— a continuation of the Joy of Jazz conversation, an intimate Johannesburg encounter, and one very good reason to keep your September calendar open.

Check out the standard bank Joy of Jazz social media channels for more artist and other exciting acts who’ll be gracing their stages.

Untitled Basement presents TOTAL ECLIPSE: The First Hearing, a special live presentation marking the first public hearing of a brand-new body of music from the composer, pianist, vocalist and producer as he begins the journey towards his ambitious Total Eclipse album series.

On his birthday, Mpumi Dhlamini does what Mpumi does best: he turns a performance into an experience.

Mpumi Dhlamini (Mpumi Dhlamini) is not an artist who simply gets on stage and performs. Everything is conceptual. His performances are carefully considered experiences, where sound, composition, improvisation and performance become part of a larger idea. Audiences can always expect musicianship matched by great showmanship—the kind of performance that demands to be experienced live.

For The First Hearing, Dhlamini takes audiences into a particularly rare space: the music before the record.

These are newly composed works that have not yet become studio recordings. Rather than hearing a finished album, audiences will encounter the music at the threshold between imagination, composition, live performance and recording. This is neither a rehearsal nor a demonstration, but a formal first encounter with compositions that are about to enter the recording process.

Dhlamini leads a five-piece ensemble featuring piano and vocals, alongside electric bass, trumpet, alto saxophone and drums:

Mpumi Dhlamini — Piano & Vocals
Sibusiso “Phura” Sibanyoni — Electric Bass
Michael Nkuna — Trumpet
Kagiso Ramela — Alto Saxophone
Siniwe Mabaso — Drums

Tickets are live and available on Quicket !!! (Link in bio)

MONIQUE BINGHAM — BACK HOME 🌸

Some voices become synonymous with a sound, a feeling and an era. Monique Bingham is one of them.

This September, Untitled Basement is honoured to welcome back one of the most distinctive and beloved voices in global house and jazz culture to our stage.

With a career spanning more than two decades, Monique Bingham has carved out a unique place in music history — moving effortlessly between jazz, soulful house and deeply expressive songwriting. Her unmistakable voice and poetic approach have made her a favourite among some of the world’s most respected producers and DJs, including Kerri Chandler, Karizma, Ralf GUM, Jellybean Benitez and Matthias Heilbronn.

Her journey began in the mid-1990s as the lead vocalist of the influential acid-jazz ensemble Abstract Truth, whose work drew from the legacies of jazz greats while pushing the sound into new territory. Their music quickly found an international audience, including support from the legendary Gilles Peterson and the Talkin’ Loud movement.

From there, Monique’s voice travelled far beyond the jazz and house underground. Her collaborations and recordings have become enduring favourites, including the celebrated, “Take Me to My Love”with Ralf GUM, while her work with the late **Hugh Masekela, further connected her artistry to the rich musical landscape of South Africa.

Her relationship with South Africa runs deep. In 2011, Monique made her South African debut at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, sharing a bill with artists including, Wayne Shorter, Esperanza Spalding and Earth, Wind & Fire. In 2013, she became the first non-South African artist to perform live at the Metro FM Awards — another landmark moment in a career filled with them.

Now, after years of music, movement and memories, Monique Bingham returns to South Africa — her second home.

As winter gives way to warmer days and we welcome the arrival of spring, join us for an intimate evening celebrating an artist whose voice has travelled across generations, continents and genres.

Spend the first Thursday of September with us • BETWEEN WORLDS is an intimate music experience exploring the different creative worlds that exist around Culoe De Song (Culoe De Song)

The evening brings together conversation, listening, collaboration and performance, allowing the audience to experience Culoe beyond a traditional release moment.

Rather than reintroducing the artist, BETWEEN WORLDS presents Culoe as a nomadic sound designer, artist and collaborator whose music continues to be shaped by movement, travel, relationships, curiosity and the constant exploration of sound.

The experience moves between his personal journey, his latest four-track EP, his wider musical imagination and the collaborative relationships that continue to open new sonic spaces.

Tickets are available on Quicket (via the link in our bio)
