Green Note

Hailing from the heart of Zululand in South Africa, David "Qadasi" Jenkins and Maqhinga Radebe are a South African Music Award (SAMA)-winning duo dedicated to preserving the rich traditions of Maskandi music while introducing its powerful sound to audiences around the world. Blending authentic Zulu music with Western folk influences, they have earned widespread acclaim for their musicianship, authenticity, and captivating live performances. Since joining forces in 2010, Qadasi & Maqhinga have toured extensively throughout South Africa, the UK, Europe, and Asia, establishing themselves as leading ambassadors of contemporary Maskandi music.

American jazz singer Grace Sheene’s velvety, powerful voice is steeped in the rich history of the Great American Songbook. Influenced by Broadway, blues, and folk tradition, her luminous stage presence enchants audiences with a soulfulness that feels at once timeless and new. An established performer at many of London’s leading live music venues — from PizzaExpress Jazz Club to Crazy Coqs to Downstairs at 180 — Grace is making her mark on the city’s vibrant jazz scene. In her Green Note debut, Grace is joined by acclaimed pianist Fraser Urquhart for an intimate concert of favourite and forgotten standards and original songs off her upcoming debut album.
