Tumi Mogorosi

Tumi Mogorosi

Percussionist and composer Tumi Mogorosi is in the vanguard of the South African creative music scene’s burgeoning outernational dimension. He took the drummer’s chair in multiple boundary-pushing formations, including Shabaka and The Ancestors and the avant-garde noiseniks The Wretched. At Le Guess Who? 2025 he leads his own powerful quintet - featuring guitar, bass, alto sax and trumpet. Driven by activist urgency and a large-scale creative vision, Mogorosi explores musical motives and improvisation to create modal grooves rooted in spiritual jazz and hard bop, working toward a sound that celebrates collective expression.
