2017 Marked another highlight in Vinnie’s career, when some recordings he played on, under producer LEBO M once again, led to a 5 month trip to Toronto, Canada. Vinnie along with one other South African musician, got invited to be part of the SOUSATZKA MUSICAL creative team, that made its debut in Toronto, and is destined for New York.
