About Me

Welcome to SYD KITCHEN's official MySpace page.
Please take your shoes off.

Visit Fool in a bubble to see the Josh Sternilcht documentary about Syd
Since the 70's, guitarist/ singer/ songwriter SYD KITCHEN has remained an innovative, active, non-compromising part of the South African musical landscape. A highly acclaimed teacher, thinker and published poet, he performs extensively at Festivals and clubs throughout South Africa, both solo and with various combinations.
He has released several critically acclaimed albums to date; all born of an eclectic, curious spirit unfazed by market-place considerations or the wishes of others.
Find out more about Syd and his music at www.sydkitchen.com and buy his CDs at www.sydkitchen.gemm.com
This eclecticism and freedom of spirit has seen his musical journey traverse the KITCHEN BROTHERS, through EQUINOX, HARRY WAS A SNAKE, THE UTENSILS, THE FLYING SOMBREROS, to his other collaborations in AMAKOOL, the AQUARIAN QUARTET (with Steve Newman, Greg Georgiades and Tony Cox) and BAFO BAFO (with Madala Kunene).
SYD KITCHEN lives in Durban, South Africa, with his wife Germaine where he teaches music while reading for his MA/Ph.D. in Musicology with the University of KwaZulu Natal.
