Sharing the stage will be Mi Casa, famously known for fusing elements of jazz, house, and pop to produce music which people of all ages can thoroughly enjoy, with numbers like Chocolat and Don’t Wanna Be Your Friend, earning them a string of Sama awards.

Pioneers of the South Africa songbook, The Soweto String Quartet need little introduction.  This genre-defining ensemble who emerged during the late 1980s around the nucleus of the three Khemese brothers - violinists Sandile and Thami, and cellist Reuben - has achieved global fame for its unique brand of African-infused classical music. SSQ is universally loved for hits like Bossa Baroque, Zebra Crossing, Zulu Lullaby, and Mbayi Mbayi that catapulted township jazz, mbaqanga, and Kwela into the international arena.
