My name is Viwe Mkizwana, Bassist, composer, Booking agent and Scholar and I had the great pleasure of working with Luyanda Makapela, a highly professional and hardworking musician with an exceptional work ethic. He delivered outstanding results within a very short space of time, particularly when required to learn and perform new music under pressure. His musicality, preparation, and commitment were evident throughout the process. Both the audience and the client were truly impressed and amazed by his talent.

We couldn’t have asked for a better artist to be part of our special day.
