Hugh Masekela Heritage Festival

The sounds of some of South Africa’s world class music legends will ring through the Soweto Cricket Oval on November 29 when Hugh Masekela, Tsepo Tshola and the Soul Brothers perform at the festival.

These artists, whose careers have influenced and defined SA music both locally and internationally, are excited to unite to celebrate the country’s diverse rainbow nation.

The Heritage Festival is taking place for the second year running.

“My biggest obsession is to show Africans and the world who the people of Africa really are,” says Masekela, “and this festival will be a great showcase of our traditional and modern musical talents.”

The Soul Brothers say, “We are very thrilled to be performing in this festival, because we haven’t been on the same stage as Mr Masekela in a while, we are also excited about performing in Soweto, it is one of our favourite places, even though we are not originally from Soweto we love the kind of vibe and energy we get from people in this township.”

“Hugh is an old friend of mine and performing on the same stage as him is always a pleasure. I am really looking forward to what will be another great memory for us,” added Tsepo Tshola.

The eclectic line-up also includes Beatenberg, the new face in SA pop music, modern folk musician Jeremy Loops, as well as Laurie Levine and Josie Field.

The Hugh Masekela Heritage Festival is a day of music, celebration, fun, food and entertainment for all ages.

Tickets are now available.
