Event information
Cross-cultural band Masala performs a set honouring South African musical icons, moving between genres including kwela, maskandi, ghoema, kwaito and sokkie over the course of the evening. The band's set draws influence from figures ranging from Miriam Makeba to Johnny Clegg, framing the show as a tribute to the breadth of South African popular music rather than a single-genre performance.
The set is built around proudly South African cover material, aimed at creating a communal, dance-oriented atmosphere rather than a seated listening concert. Masala's cross-cultural makeup is reflected directly in the range of styles covered across the night.
The performance takes place at Café Roux, an intimate venue along Chapman's Peak Drive known for hosting live music in a relaxed, scenic setting.
