Today we have learnt of the passing of Elias S'dumo Ngidi, the golden boy of KZN and Durban music. A penny whistler vocalist, guitarist and trumpet player, Elias had a distinguished career in music. He lived and performed in Johannesburg with Mankunku, Mseleku, Teaspoon Ndlelu and others. He toured and performed extensively with Babsy Mlangeni and was a musical mentor to many including his own sons the base players Philani and Simphiwe and trumpeter and soldier Eric Duma.
S'dumo is a musical father and educator. He was a moving spirit behind the Story of SA jazz book series and performed at the book launch concert. https://youtu.be/pnAvUErJFlg?si=lA5e_j3UtqZxT_ed
May his beautiful musical soul rest in peace and his brilliant musical vision be continued.
