Artist in Residence Reza Khota launches his 2016 South African tour on the 26th and 27th February at Straight No Chaser in Cape Town.

“The multi-award winning young protagonist certainly has the credentials to make these compositional and improvisational choices with full volition having submitted to the discipline of classical guitar performance, formal training and holding a Masters degree (in solo guitar performance) from the University of the Witwatersrand. Equally comfortable following the score or allowing it to unfold from the silence, Reza’s respect for and knowledge of a wide range of musical traditions is the platform from which he adds his voice to the newCulture – significantly with Babu, a project that also features bassist Shane Cooper and whose first offering, Uproots, has been voted into the 20 most important South African albums of the decade by the Mail and Guardian.”  Wolfaardt, M, (2016),The Reza Khota Quartet retrieved from, www.rezakhota.com.
