Thandi Ntuli is a composer, pianist, and vocalist from South Africa. Her music puts South African folk, township musics, and gospel, under a jazz umbrella. Ntuli possesses a sparse, spacy playing style that employs spare, almost meditative circular themes that often spiral outward, gathering lush underpinnings. Her playing has drawn favorable comparisons to late South African jazz piano legend Bheki Mseleku. Her debut album, The Offering, appeared in 2014 to glowing reviews. Four years later, she self-released Exiled with legendary saxophonist Linda Sikhakhane in the lineup. Ntuli toured Europe and Asia, establishing herself internationally. In 2020 she released Thandi Ntuli (Live at Jazzwerkstatt), followed in 2022 by Blk Elijah & the Children of Meroë. In 2019, Ntuli traveled to Venice Beach, California, where she recorded Rainbow Revisited with producer, percussionist, and mixing engineer Carlos Nino. It was released by International Anthem in November 2023.
