Four talented South African performers are planning to celebrate the month of love in the second One Night in Africa concert at the Carnival City Big Top Arena in Brakpan on Saturday, 18 February.
Theo Kgosinkwe, the other half of popular group Mafikizolo, ex Bongo Muffin member Thandiswa Mazwai, Durban kwaito star Zakes Bantwini and Cape Town jazz and afro-soul artist Noxolo Hlatshwayo promise four hours of absolute musical pleasure.
The show starts at 19h45 and tickets are available from Computicket between R240 and R280.
Theo Kgosinkwe, better known for being the other half of popular group Mafikizolo, is a singer, songwriter and has composed songs for some of SA’s top musos, like the late Busi Mhlongo, Thembisile, Unathi, and Hugh Masekela amongst others. Kgosinkwe has released two solo albums, I AM and Grateful, and each has made a commendable impact. I AM was voted Best Pop Album at the 2009 MTN SAMA Awards. Theo’s latest single, Thinking About You, is also enjoying a lot of airplay on SA’s top radio stations and TV channels. Theo will be bringing it on, perfoming hits like Umphathe Kahle, Sengimtholile, Thinking About You and Ukhona.
Thandiswa Mazwai, a multi award-winner, is known for her upbeat and revolutionary music. Mazwai has built a successful solo career after releasing five albums with Bongo Muffin, and is known for her eccentric dress sense and Xhosa inspired tunes. Mazwai will perform hits like Zabalaza, Ndilinde and many other notable tracks.
Funky Durban-born musician Zakes Bantwini is one of the first people who introduced South Africa to what is currently known as Durban Kwaito Music (DKM), a fusion of house beats blended with kwaito lyrics. Zake’s music has been dubbed “sophisticated dance music”, and will blaze the stage, performing hits such as Bum Bum and Wasting My Time to name just a few.
Up and coming jazz and afro-soul artist Noxolo Hlatshwayo was born and bred in Cape Town. She started off her music career as a backup artist for Steve Kekana. She has also worked with the late Vuyo Mokoena and has performed alongside Rebecca, Lusanda and Deborah Frazer at the SAMA Awards in 2006.
