Birchwood Hotel to Honour South African musicians this Heritage month<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"Birchwood-Jazz-Evening-Poster-September-2016\"September this year marks exactly 15 years since trombone maestro, Jonas Gwangwa first performed at the Birchwood Ekurhuleni Comes Alive Jazz Evening in Boksburg. This Heritage month, Jonas and the Birchwood Hotel will be collaborating once again, to pay tribute to the conception of the Jazz Evening, on Friday, 9 September at Birchwood Hotel and OR Tambo Conference Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cJonas has been asked to perform at the Jazz Evening many times over the years and he has always heeded to our call. We also believe in a culture of honouring our greats of music and hence have decided to celebrate our heritage with Jonas and honour his musical talent,\u201d says Jazzman Mahlakgane, the Director of Birchwood Hotel and founder of the Birchwood Ekurhuleni Comes Alive Jazz evenings.<\/p>\n

Jonas will be joined by the Mahotella Queens, a South African female group who have been known for their energetic dancing and harmonies since 1964.<\/p>\n

Emerging group, Watching Over Africa, will be returning to the stage to support the legends of the SA music industry and comedians, Siya-Seya and Kingdrigo, will have you laughing the night away with their comical tales of true African living.<\/p>\n

The Birchwood Ekurhuleni Comes Alive Jazz Evening has become the metropolitan\u2019s flagship event and, every month, a new line-up of artists are selected to provide a proudly South African theme.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery month, we develop new relationships with musicians who perform at our jazz evening and, over time, we have developed a brand heritage,\u201d says Mahlakgane.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are preparing for a true South African Heritage experience of both music and food, our patrons can gear themselves up for an evening of Ekurhuleni Heritage potpourri,\u201d says Thoko Phuthi from Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.<\/p>\n

As always, the evening will be hosted by resident MC, Hector Motivator, and guests will be able to enjoy a three course buffet meal, with many great prizes from DSTV, The Sowetan, The Soweto Hotel, Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality and the Birchwood OR Tambo Hotel and Conference Centre. Tickets are R400 per person or R4\u00a0000 for a table of 10. To book, contact Dudu Kgomo on (011) 897 0141 or jazz@birchwoodhotel.co.za, or visit www.birchwoodhotel.co.za.<\/p>\n
