For the
first time ever, two of South Africa’s legendary performers will be sharing a
stage, and Durban has the honour of hosting the event! Johnny Clegg and
Ladysmith Black Mambazo will be staging an historical performance at Old
Mutual’s Music At The Lake with East Coast Radio next month.
The epic
concert takes place at Durban’s Botanic Gardens on Sunday, 9 November 2014.
As one of
SA’s most celebrated sons, Johnny Clegg has sold over five million albums over
the past three decades, winning an armful of awards along the way. Returning
from his nine week tour of USA and Canada, Clegg will be performing hits from
his recent album, Human, as well as all-time
favourites.

Multiple
Grammy Award winners, Ladysmith Black Mambazo have also played a pioneering
role in SA music and have helped put the global spotlight on the country’s
music landscape. Their 2014 Grammy
winning album, LIVE: Singing for Peace Around the World, is a dedication to the
legacy of the late former President, Nelson Mandela. Founder Joseph Shabalala recently retired,
handing over the reigns as lead singer to his son Thami Shabalala. This means
the 12 member ensemble now has three generations of family members including
Joseph’s grandson, Babuyile Shabalala!
Both these
legends are set to make history by performing together in Durban next month.
Johnny Clegg will perform for an impressive 90 minutes where he will feature
Ladysmith Black Mambazo on three of his songs. Mambazo will stay true to their
melodic harmonies for 45 minutes and will see Impi singer, Clegg join them on
stage for a duet on one their hits, making this a world first.
