Mash Trio Celebrates International Jazz Day Live at The Athletic Club and Social, Cape Town
On 30 April 2026, pianist and composer Dr Sibusiso Mash Mashiloane is joined by bassist Dalisu Ndlazi and drummer Riley Giandhari, the trio marks the global celebration with a night of original music rooted in South African jazz and African sonic traditions, and musical connection that only years of shared playing can produce.
Rooted in rich African sonic traditions and guided by the trio’s musical connection, Mash Trio’s live set moves between musicking, groove, and improvisation. The evening will draw from Mashiloane’s most loved compositions spanning 2016 to 2025, alongside spontaneous moments that can only happen in real time. All shaped by home, memory, and the power of commonly understood musical meanings and shared experiences.
“International Jazz Day is about honouring a tradition that has always belonged to the people. For us, that means bringing the sound of home, the rhythms, the stories, the feeling of togetherness, into the room and letting it breathe.” Says Mashiloane,
“When Dalisu, Riley and I play together, something happens that we can’t plan for. That’s what makes it worth being in the room. Come expecting music that stays with you for long after you leave.”
