Lufuno Munzhelele Live! is an annual
show that Lufuno started 3 years ago as a way of taking live music to the
people. This year’s edition will be different in that it will be streamed live
on Yotube and Facebook as a way of our positive contribution towards curbing the
spread of the pandemic. “We took a
decision this year to try a different approach which will assist greatly in
reaching new audiences across the globe. The internet has made this world
smaller, but the advent of COVID-19 showed us that we can live, work and
perform live over the net to a wider audience.” _Lufuno
Lufuno was born into a musical family
in the heart of Venda in Mutale region, Makwilidza. His music influence has
been predominately the traditional music, Reggae and most importantly the
African Apostolic music, where his late father was a Pastor. “I played the drum at my Father’s church.
Each and every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, we were in church and I always
looked up to the singing and dancing.” Lufuno is now a Music student at the
Vusi Mahlasela Music Foundation which he says has opened his eyes to a whole
new world of music and performance. “I
cannot emphasise the importance of Music education enough, Music theory really changed
the way I approached my art and I can now proudly say I am an artist who understands
what’s going on in my music”_Lufuno.
Lufuno started writing poetry and
short stories at an early age. His imaginary mind had him humming his own tunes
early where he subsequently teamed with his childhood friend, Humbulani ‘Reggaeman’ Ragimana, to form a group
called “HardRock”. “Humbulani had a
handmade guitar from oil tins which was my first experiment with a guitar. He’s
the one who introduced me to Reggae, really. We’ll release our materials
together as soon as we’re done with the current project.”
Lufuno’s performances have always been
energetic and entertaining, while taking the viewers into a journey of a musical
experience. Him and the band have worked hard to get the sound that they can
say it’s their own. To catch the performance on 16 December 2020, Please
