In line with Carnival City’s goal of bringing the country’s best entertainers to its stage, popular South African artist Juanita du Plessis and her talented children, who are each well-known artists in their own right, will take to the stage at the Big Top Arena.
Six years ago the sound of this family trio’s hit, Kaalvoetkinders, was heard on several radio stations around the country.
This led to a number of requests for the three to perform together.
With almost 50 exclusive concerts attended by over 50 000 fans under their belts, the ‘Queen of Afrikaans Music’ and her children, Franja du Plessis and Ruan Josh, have decided it is time to do something really big and will be bringing their larger than life show, Meer as ’n Melodie, to local audiences.
Juanita has released more than 30 albums and DVDs and boasts a grand total of 2.6 million units sold.
This is the most sold by any female artist in South Africa.
Furthermore, this dynamic artist has single-handedly released more than 80 Top 10 hits and has brought to fans more than 3 000 on-stage performances.
Franja du Plessis, who looks just like her mother but with her own talent and capabilities, has just released her second album.
Much like her role model mother, she is the first female artist to reach gold status on sales of her debut album and was also named Female Artist of the Year 2017 at the Ghoema Awards.
Juanita’s son, Ruan Josh, has also released his debut album and boasts four number one hit singles which have been broadcast on South African radio stations.
He is also a familiar face on the SABC 2 series Klein Begin.
Combine the talent of these three artists, who not only share family bonds but a deep love for music, and you’re guaranteed the best the Afrikaans music the industry has to offer.
The show will take place on March 30 and starts at 7.30pm.
