Hilton Schilder (born 1959) is a South African musician (piano, also guitar, vocals, mbira and other instruments), well known in the genre of Cape jazz.
In the 1980s he founded The Genuines[3] with Mac McKenzie, who specialized in the Goema music of the Western Cape province.
Goema is a Cape Jazz style, though more inspired by the Coon troops that march annually on Tweede Newe Jaar.
He also led his own groups, with whom he also performed at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, and toured with Johannes Enders.
He co-founded the duo RockArt with Alex van Heerden, which moved in the direction of acoustic and electronic minimal jazz.
