About VK

Vusi is considered one of the top drummer/composer/ arrangers in South Africa. He follows in the footsteps of 60s legendary jazz drummer Early Mabuza, to become one of the front leading drummers of his generation.

Over nearly three decades, Vusi boasts a respectable résumé that includes working with internationally renowned artists such as Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Caiphus Semenya and Abdullah Ibrahim. He is also one of the original members of the band that recorded with Paul Simon on the seminal Grammy award-winning Graceland album. Vusi has graced a number of best- selling albums locally and internationally. He has toured across the globe, and spent some years in the US sharing his talents from the east coast to the west coast.

Naturally gifted, an achiever and a perfectionist, Vusi has demonstrated himself to be a versatile musician accomplished in various styles of music. He has performed with South African musicians including Winston Mankunku, Bheki Mseleku, Barney Rachabane, Allen Kwela, among others. Internationally he has worked with legends Chucho Valdes, Youssou N’Dour, Bob Baldwin, Donald Harrison, and the late Carl Anderson, to name but a few.
