The Soil is a popular, four-member a-capella singing group which performs what they describe as “Kasi Soul” – an eclectic mix of musical genres such as jazz, hip hop, Afro-pop and Afro-soul.
Fusing their harmonious voices and soothing melodies with deep and meaningful messages, they have become renowned for their uplifting sound.
Having paid their dues as a performing group in and around the country, the awe-inspiring talent of this trio of a-capella voices was formally-acknowledged when they won the Standard Bank Standing Ovation Award in the Fringe Section and the Standard Bank Encore Gold Award, at the 2010 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown.
During their career, The Soil has graced stages of South Africa’s biggest music events such as the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, Grahamstown Arts Festival, Jazz by the River, as well as the stages of the Nelson Mandela Theatre and the Catalyst Theatre, in Cape Town.
As comfortable at big music festivals and concerts as on theatre stages, The Soil has promised to deliver a soul-uplifting performance when they convene for Jozi Jazz: Sound of Freedom.
The four-hour spectacular starts at 5pm and refreshments will be on sale during the 30-minute interval.
