BiographySebothane Julian Bahula was born in Eersterust, Pretoria. He first gained a reputation as a drummer in the band Malombo.[3] He migrated to England in 1973 and subsequently formed the group Jabula,[4] which in 1977 combined with the group of saxophonist Dudu Pukwana to form Jabula Spear.[2] Another later project for Bahula was the band Jazz Afrika. In the 1980s he played with Dick Heckstall-Smith’s Electric Dream ensemble. As Eugene Chadbourne of AllMusic has written: "Bahula has been as tireless a promoter of the music of his homeland in his adopted country as he is an on-stage rhythm activator. One of his most important moves was establishing a regular Friday night featuring authentic African bands at the London venue The 100 Club.[5] He booked a lot of musicians who were also political refugees; his series began to symbolize a movement for change. Players such as Fela Kuti, Miriam Makeba, and Hugh Masekela were among the performers whose early British appearances were organized by Bahula."[3] With the Anti-Apartheid Movement, Bahula organised in 1983 African Sounds, a concert at Alexandra Palace to mark the 65th birthday of Nelson Mandela, drawing a 3,000-strong audience and raising the international profile of Mandela and other political prisoners.[5] In 2012, President Jacob Zuma presented Bahula with the Order of Ikhamanga (Gold).[6] References1. ^“Musicians born in March”, JazzLife. 2. ^1 "13 March — Julian Bahula", All Jazz Radio. 3. ^1 Eugene Chadbourne, Julian Bahula biography, Music. 4. ^"Jabula", Strut Records, 21 October 2014. 5. ^1 Clyde Macfarlane, "Jabula Happiness: Julian Bahula Interviewed", The Quietus, 21 January 2015. 6. ^Ntando Makhubu and Mogomotsi Magome, "Jazz legend no longer an unsung hero", Pretoria News, 4 May 2012.
