Thando

“Stone departs for good and the crowd, who by this stage have melted into a puddle on The Croxton’s carpeted floor, are left to mop themselves up."

"Odette’s ability to weave emotion and storytelling into her music is a joy to experience."

"Her distinguished vocals are robust, warm and comforting and the spoken word poems are lightly articulated but heavy with meaning."

"Her Like A Version cover of 'Magnolia' by Gang Of Youths perfectly suits Odette's voice as if the vocal melody was written specifically with her soaring, emotive pipes in mind."

"[Thando] Sikwila is not just a prodigy of the jazz and soul styles, she is the embodiment of the genres' most prolific spirits."

"Tembo is so incredibly humble, clutching her heart, grinning and shaking her head in disbelief while the audience applauds wildly, whoops and hollers."
