Dr. Thokozani Mhlambi is a South African composer and cellist from the coastal province of KwaZulu-Natal. His musical style is inspired by the rich heritage of the region, influenced by world music.
His intimate work Zulu Song Cycle draws on the form of the Lied (a Germanic poem sung by a voice and accompanied by a piano or instrumental ensemble) by integrating the lyricism of the Zulu language.
Dr. Thokozani Mhlambi (South Africa) is in residency at the Cité internationale des arts through the programme of the Institut français.
