MAISHA is a 6 piece Durban based Afro Fusion band that has been together since January 2008, and have played with greats such as Eddy Grant (Suncoast Casino); Freshly Ground (Botanic Gardens); Ladysmith Black Mambasa; Stealing Love Jones, Prime Circle, Tree 63, and loads more. Great live performances at Splashy Fen 08/09, Zini, Ulundi, Glenwood, Celebrate Durban and White Mountain Festivals.
Four of the six members are songwriters and singers. From the DRC, we have Tresor Riziky, main songwriter, lead vocalist and acoustic guitar. Tresor's vocals have been likened to Seal with a French accent. Lead guitarist and alternate singer/songwriter is Blues/Rocker and Face Studios owner Rod Nichols. Khulekani Zondi is a qualified traditional music graduate, music producer, keyboardist, singer and songwriter who hails from Zululand. Bongani Maduna, bassist extraordinaire, Maskanda guitarist, singer/songwriter comes from Port Shepstone. Jon Pimenta plays percussion and Simon Cox is the band drummer from the UK.
Songs are sung in English, French, Swahili and Zulu. Maisha crosses all of the musical boundaries with a mix of genres, styles, ages and cultures. Their debut album is called “Stop the War” and is fast becoming a must have for Maisha fans.
Hello Maisha, Thanks for the friendship! You guys have a killer groove. Here in Alabama we are similar.I have been heavily influenced by Black artists. Elvis grew up about 2hrs from where I live. Southern gospel was also a big influence. Stay in touch.Let me know what's going on with you guys God Bless Dale
