Edgar Muzah

Edgar Muzah is a musician, bass player, music composer, arranger, songwriter and music producer based in South Africa. With a unique and very distinct sound that is easily traced to his African origins, Muzah has mastered the sound of his music which he calls Music Of The World (World Music). He has perfectly infused musical rhythms and sounds from around Africa and the world at large to create his own sound, inspired by some of the greats that have walked the road before him.

Edgar’s music is very sincere and is an amplification of his life experiences and a perfect representation of his dreams. With his love for Africa and African Music, he makes it a point to address African issues and paint a clear picture of the true Africa he sees through his eyes.
With the recent release of his debut album Son Of A Tribe as a solo artist, Muzah is getting the attention of many world music and world jazz lovers from across the world. Son of A Tribe went on to land 2 nominations from the South African Music Awards (SAMA) and Afrikan Music Magazine Awards (Afrimma) in 2022. The broad reach of the album clearly shows that his music is sincere and heartfelt as each and everyone of his compositions has found a home in people’s lives.
