Ben Harper headlines at Zakifo Music Festiva
Ben Harper will perform at the Zakifo Music Festival at Durban Botanic Gardens.
GRAMMY-AWARD winning, multi-platinum-selling artists Ben Harper and his band will headline at the Zakifo Music Festival on 1 June at the Durban Botanic Gardens.
He will be performing alongside Asa (Nigeria/France), Beatenberg, Maia and the Big Sky (Kenya), Red Robyn and lindigo (Réunion).
The genre-blending, singer, songwriter and guitarist plays an eclectic mix of folk, blues, hard rock, country, jazz and reggae. Growing up in a musical family, he quickly developed his craft as a singer-songwriter and guitarist, played his first gig at the age of 12 and by his early 20s performed live with iconic bluesman Taj Mahal.
Massive, international sold-out tours, Top 10 debuts in the US, Gold and Platinum certifications overseas, and a slew of TV appearances cemented Harper and the band’s status as genuine global stars.
