THOKOZILE play joyous, world jazz sounds heavily influenced by South and West Africa, as well as the London acid jazz scene. Formed on the back of a British Council music exchange with South Africa, they have kept the connection going and have become festival favourites in the UK, also appearing opposite the likes of James Taylor Quartet, Vula Viel, New Cool Collective and many more. They are regulars at the Swanage Jazz Festival and their self-titled debut album was released in 2024 to rave reviews and a sell out gig at the Lighthouse in Poole.
