Welcome to njabulomadlala.com
A very warm welcome to you and much thanks for stopping by.
Born as Njabulo Thabiso Madlala, on January 27th of 1982, in the dusty streets of a South African township outside Durban, Njabulo always knew that his vocal talent would take him out of his native South Africa to the world. As a little boy in school, he always admitted and boasted that one day he would sing in London and make many happy. “I am living my dreams. My voice is my passport”, says the 27 years old star from Inanda township. Accordingly, his name, Njabulo means the one who brings happiness. Njabulo is most grateful to the Peter Moores Foundation, The Oppenheimer Memorial Trust, MBF, Wingate Scholarship and the South African National arts Council for their support through his studies in the UK.
Where Is Njabulo?
Njabulo is currently in London performing La Boheme for Opera Holland Park. He is singing Schaunard and this opera opens on the 27 June - 15 August 2009. Next will be Glyndebourne for Tristan und Isolde 06, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, and 30th August.
For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.
