Dzindza, meaning “Ancestry” in Shona, is a tribute to Gapara’s African roots, blending traditional sounds with the bold energy of contemporary jazz. With this album and tour, Gapara invites us to connect with both his cultural heritage and musical vision. Known for his flamboyant live performances, you can expect an unforgettable night of rhythm, storytelling, and rich musical textures.

Earlier this year, Gapara’s shows have drawn attention, with his last appearance at Auckland’s Tuning Fork celebrated for its electrifying atmosphere, bringing together listeners from diverse backgrounds to experience his sound. In addition to recent performances at the Nelson Arts Festival, Wellington Jazz Festival, and Synthony, Gapara has been a staple in New Zealand’s music scene for over a decade.

“When Gapara moved to New Zealand, he barely knew anything about the local music scene. Now, he’s one of Aotearoa’s ‘go-to’ saxophonists, not just in jazz, but also in soul, reggae, and even kapa haka.”RNZ Concert
