Shen Winberg spent his early childhood in the extremes of Southern Africa’s rural landscapes, absorbing indigenous sounds in the rhythms of the Limpopo Province’s Shangaan villages. Today, Shen has a distinctive ethnic blend to his music. 
Growing up during the turbulence of Apartheid in the 1980s, both his parents embedded in the ANC’s underground movement, having his mother taken into solitary confinement and hiding from safe house to safe house with father, Shen’s original compositions showcases this dynamic and dramatic South African narrative. Many of his lyrics are infused with passionate invocations for peace and justice. The magical soundscapes he creates takes you to a place beyond your usual reality.

After a degree in Jazz music from the University of Cape Town, with a love for Afrohouse and pop music, his band, ShenFM, is a fusion of contemporary and traditional sounds, creating a global, commercial, yet ‘world music’ feel to his compositions.
