A powerful drummer who has earned himself a reputation as a composer with vision, Manzanza celebrates the release of acclaimed album A Love Requited with a free gig.
Manzanza brings an eclectic style and diverse skill to his craft to create a genre-bending experience rooted in jazz and African rhythm.
