Phila Madlingozi

Jazz’Afro Sundays at the Barn welcomes actor, singer, rapper and filmmaker, Phila Madlingozi who will be opening the first cycle of 2019. Phila, the son of legendary South African musician Ringo Madlingozi became nationally recognised after his leading role in the second season of the popular SABC1 drama series Intersexions during 2013.

Phila along with his siblings was raised by his grandmother in Nelson Mandela Bay until his early teens and moved to Johannesburg and lived with his dad. His passion has always been in the film business, as he studied film and television production, however his love for acting caught him when he landed a major acting role on Intersexions. And music soon got in his blood and has never looked back since. As a young aspiring musician he took the plunge and auditioned for the 11th season of Idols SA. Since then Phila has been performing throughout South Africa.

Having spent some time with Nelson Mandela Bay’s musos in more recent times, we look forward to hearing the sounds and influences that will come through during his what promises to be an emphatic performance.

Phila Madlingozi appears at The Barn on 3 February 2019 from 17h00. Tickets cost R70.00 (R50.00 Pensioners) – limited seating be sure to be early
