Neil Gonsalves is a South African jazz/world beat pianist, composer & educator.
“My music takes it's influence from the rich diversity of cultural life that characterizes the beautiful seaside city of Durban, in the province of KwaZulu-Natal on the east coast of Africa. From the proud traditional and popular forms of Zulu music, the Christian hymns from our colonial past, Indian classical music, South African, European and American jazz and all the sounds around me, I strive to synthesize these elements into a harmonious whole.” - Gonsalves
