AFRICAN CONTEMPORARY JAZZ CONCERT

DUDU MANHENGA is a dynamic young Zimbabwean singer/songwriter who leads and fronts the group ‘Color Blu’, formed along with her husband and partner drummer Blessing Muparutsa. 

 Her music has been accurately described as ‘an afro jazz adventure’ -  a fusion of genres: afro, contemporary, Zimbabwe traditional, township, jazz, Latino, and a cultural cross-breed of Zimbabwe’s Manica, Mashona and Matabele rhythms and melodies, with energetic stage work, and sizzling vocals.    

In the twelve years she has been in the music industry, she has toured in the region and internationally, sharing the stage with major stars such as Oliver Mtukudzi, Dorothy Masuka, The Cool Crooners, Judith Sephuma, Ray Phiri, Jimmy Dludlu and the late Jabu Khanyile, Kunle Ayo, Ernie Smith, Ringo, Eric Paliani, Prudence Katomene, Kudzi Sevenzo, Jose Chameleon, Gang of Instrumentals, Kwani Experience, Mingas, among many, many others.
