Jazz Legend Madala Kunene Says Music Never Made Him Money

Jazz Veteran Madala Kunene has opened up about how in his 40 years in making music he has never made enough money to afford a lifestyle most musicians are expected to have. Kunene has dropped 11 albums in his years of making music.

“At least new artists are getting money from music because we didn’t get much money. I live hand-to-mouth. I educate my kids with the little money that I get so it’s very hectic for me. I don’t have money in the bank, I only save for my funeral cover so that when I die, I can bury myself. I won’t quit music because it’s my life,” he said Speaking to TshisaLive.
