Celebrating Africa Month: Marriage of the Past and the Present through Music
Mbuso Khoza and the Afrikan Heritage
Ensemble Return to Joburg Theatre with a Dose of Live Music to Celebrate
Africa Day
In celebrating Africa Month and tomorrow being Africa Day; award
winning vocalist and cultural & heritage proponent, Mbuso Khoza along with
the Afrikan Heritage Ensemble will demonstrate their interpretation of what the day means at the Joburg Theatre Mandela stage on 25 May 2019.
This
performance follows three consecutive sold-out performances in January 2019
where Khoza and the Afrikan Heritage Ensemble stage the first Isandlwana
Lecture of its kind in the country. Patrons can look forward to a
mesmeric two-part performance made up of Khoza with a 4-piece band, and Khoza
with the 16-voice strong Acapella outfit that will have them enthralled and
begging for more.
According
to Mbuso Khoza, art is the most influential channel to make the intangible
heritage felt, so in pursuit of reviving Afrikan unity it is very important to
use it without dividing our people.
56 years ago, Africa decided to
exhibit their determination to free itself from foreign exploitation and
domination. Today the continent so rich of culture and heritage, having gone
through its fair share of bondage that led to this historic occasion still sees
many countries participating in the various festivities to mark this day.

Khoza
and The Afrikan Heritage Ensemble will give audiences an enchanting performance
when they interpret Amahubo, the music from 17th century southern Africa
region, concretising this marriage of past and present with the view into the
future. The ensemble will also explore the relationship between Amahubo and the
songs of struggle.
