April 2019 saw Mandisi Dyantyis nominated for a South African Music Award for Best Jazz Album (for the album, Somandla).

"With a sort of deft effortlessness he touches on all sorts of timelines, soundscapes, cultures and genres – and his intricate trumpet work is just as striking as the vocals. Take a hearty dose of traditional jazz elements, a side of gospel tendencies and a solid injection of Afro-pop influence and you have Mandisi Dyantyis..." - Skye Mallac / Texx And The City
