Samthing Soweto & Dizu Plaatjies

Lovers of authentic African music are in for a treat as the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) confirms iconic South African musicians Dizu Plaatjies and Samthing Soweto for a special concert celebrating traditional African instruments and sounds.

The aptly titled 'Vibrations: A Celebration of African Sounds' event takes place at the University of Johannesburg (UJ) Theatre. The concert offers an immersive live music experience as well as an opportunity to explore an exhibition featuring nearly 100 traditional African instruments, installed in the UJ gallery.

Dizu Plaatjies captivates audiences with music from his extensive and celebrated catalogue. His performance promises to be a powerful tribute to the diversity and beauty of indigenous African instruments.

Samthing Soweto, an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and producer, is known for his versatile style, blending Afro-pop, soul, and amapiano. His deep connection to African roots and his ability to seamlessly integrate indigenous elements into modern music make him a perfect fit for this celebration.

In line with the Foundation’s mission, this event offers significant educational value for anyone interested in African music and the development of indigenous instruments over the centuries.
