Trompies member Jakarumba will celebrate his 59th birthday soon.
Jakarumba, whose real name is Jairus Ditshotlo Nkwe, is one of the artists who helped put kwaito on the map.
He founded Trompies and is a founding member of one of the first and most productive black-owned record companies, Kalawa Jazmee.
Jakarumba's birthday celebration will take place at Disoufeng in Meadowlands, Soweto, on March 29.
The celebration will feature Trompies, Thebe, Sbu Ma'lawyer, Alaska, Nokwazi and Rethabile Khumalo, among others..
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Jakarumba said he is grateful for the years he has been in the industry.
“I've been in the music industry for more than 30 years and I've been celebrating my birthday every year at Disoufeng. I could've given up celebrating it because most artists who support \[me\] tend to come and perform for free like Thebe, Alaska and Nokwazi because they feel I've played a role in shaping the music scene.”
Jakarumba added he still had a lot to offer in his music career and business ventures.
“As Trompies, we are recording an album on which we've featured some amapiano artists, as you can see amapiano is dominating the charts and dance floors. I've ventured into the bottled water business too.”
